Vancleave Legal Services

Up in the northern part of Jackson County lies Vancleave, hemmed in by the Pascagoula River watershed and tied to I-10 through Highway 57. The timber industry, the commute to Ingalls Shipbuilding, and commercial truck traffic moving between the port and Lucedale make these rural roads more dangerous than they look. Scroll to the page that fits what happened to you.

Introductions first, my name is Jay Foster. My whole career has been spent driving Highway 57. I try cases at several courthouses, and one of them is Jackson County Circuit Court in Pascagoula, 25 miles to the south. Paparoni’s restaurant in Vancleave was a favorite stop of mine, and I miss it now that it is gone.
