Founded in 1946, Daniel Coker Horton & Bell PA provides comprehensive and cost-effective legal services to the businesses, institutions, and individuals that make up our valued clients. Our offices are strategically located in Gulfport, Jackson, and Oxford, Mississippi, enabling us to serve clients throughout Mississippi and the surrounding states. Clients appreciate our core commitment to their goals and objectives, as well as our deep understanding and knowledge of their businesses. With a primary focus on litigation, we also offer estate planning and probate services, and handle business matters such as entity formation, entity governance, labor and employment, contract formation, and asset sales and acquisitions.

Daniel Coker Horton & Bell is a trial firm – successful handling of complex and high exposure civil cases is the cornerstone of our reputation. Made up of tough, seasoned trial lawyers, we service the full spectrum of civil matters, including antitrust, business, class action, commercial construction, energy, environmental, franchise, governmental and public entity liability, insurance, labor and employment, mass tort, medical, natural resources, personal injury, pharmaceutical, premises liability, products liability, professional liability, securities, transportation, wrongful death and other complex matters. Our litigation experience shows in the quality and efficiency of our work, our ability to help clients reasonably predict litigation risks and costs, and to anticipate problems instead of simply responding to them.

As one of the largest trial practice firms located entirely in Mississippi, Daniel Coker attorneys have handled hundreds of appeals from virtually all venues within the state and federal administrative and judicial venues. While most of these cases come up through legal proceedings handled by the firm at the trial level, Daniel Coker is also engaged to appeal cases not originally handled by the firm. In all cases, Daniel Coker’s appellate attorneys augment the legal research and writing skills required for exceptional appellate advocacy with a wealth of experience and creditability to maximize the opportunity to support a favorable trial decision, or to capture the opportunity for a reversal or remand on appeal.
