Phelps Dunbar is pleased to announce that the firm’s Gulfport office has reopened as of Monday, September 26, after Hurricane Katrina forced the office to temporarily close its doors. In the days following Hurricane Katrina, the Gulfport attorneys quickly relocated to the firm’s Jackson office, allowing them to continue serving their clients’ needs.
The firm’s Gulfport office is located in the downtown area in the North Court One building, 2304 19th Street, Suite 300, Gulfport, MS 39501. Attorneys in the Gulfport office can be reached at 228-679-1130.
“We are pleased to be back in the Gulfport office,” said James G. Wyly, Managing Partner of the Gulfport office. “This is a great first step towards being part of restoring service to a community that has been just devastated by Hurricane Katrina.” Phelps Dunbar, a regional law firm headquartered in New Orleans with nearly 250 attorneys across the southeast, is committed to the restoration of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast communities that have been affected by Hurricane Katrina.
The firm’s strong regional presence with offices in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Jackson, Tupelo and Gulfport, Mississippi; Houston, Texas; and Tampa, Florida as well as the professional expertise of the lawyers in those offices uniquely position Phelps Dunbar to be part of what promises to be the largest public and private restoration effort in the history of the United States. Phelps Dunbar is dedicated to seeing that this culturally unique and vitally important region rebuilds and rebounds even stronger than before.
New Orleans attorneys continue to work from the firm’s regional offices in Baton Rouge and Houston. Attorneys can be contacted in Baton Rouge at 225-346-0285 and in Houston at 713-626-1386.
