Forest Legal Services

Forest sits at the US-80 and MS-35 intersection in Scott County, MS, the exact point where the old Jackson-to-Meridian freight corridor crosses the north-south highway connecting Louisville to Raleigh. Across the north side of Scott County, I-20 passes Exits 100 and 108 and pours commercial truck traffic, moving at interstate speed, onto the same road network every business along the US-80 commercial strip through Forest depends on. Wrecks along US-80, along MS-35 or at the I-20 interchange exits serving Scott County end up in Scott County Circuit Court, whose address is 100 East First Street, in the city of Forest. Below you will find the main courts, the hospital and the law enforcement agencies whose jurisdiction reaches across Scott County.

For car wreck cases in Scott County, the Forest Car Accident Lawyer page covers the insurance company tactics, the evidence window that closes on US-80 and I-20 within 72 hours of a wreck, and what it means when the adjuster calls before you have spoken to anyone. The Scott County MS government site has county resources and courthouse information.
