About Jon H Powell

A 1994 graduate of the University of Mississippi School of Law, Jon has been practicing law for over 30+ years.

Jon's practice is centered in Chancery Court work. He has tried hundreds of cases to conclusion in Chancery Court with very favorable outcomes for his clients. Most of Jon's clients are repeat clients or referrals from other clients and other lawyers. Jon's quality of work and preparation speak for itself.

Jon co-authored the 2014 book "Divorce in Mississippi", which was written for clients - not lawyers - in an easy and understandable format without all the lawyer-language that lawyers learn to speak. It was written because Jon represents PEOPLE - not BIG BUSINESS.

In 2015, the readers of The Clarion-Ledger named Jon as Best Divorce Attorney in Mississippi.

Jon has served as a Guardian ad Litem in numerous cases over the past 20+ years involving allegations of abuse and neglect of children and the elderly.

Jon presently serves as the Family Master for Rankin County, Mississippi. This is an appointed position. Jon was appointed by the Chancery Court Judges of Rankin County to hear cases that the Chancery Court Judges refer to him for hearing. Jon's service as Family Master utilizes his thorough knowledge of the Mississippi Rules of Civil Procedure, the Mississippi Rules of Evidence, and courtroom procedure.

Jon's practice areas include Estate planning, Estate probate and administration, Divorce and Family Law, Guardianships and Conservatorships, and issues involving real estate disputes.

Jon often speaks in continuing legal education seminars on various aspects of trial practice in Chancery Court.

Hired Attorney

I was referred to Jon Powell when our lawyers had to recuse themselves from our case as they were possible witnesses. Attorney Powell made his terms clear upfront and once hired, he and his staff responded professionally. His notes on our case were always readily available and his advice clear and precise whenever in discussion. I live out of state, so Attorney Powell often had to go to court and represent me and my case to the judges. He even handled pertinent transaction with my bank deposits and State agencies when local responses were needed. He handled business during COVID interruptions and the opposing clients delays. I recommend Attorney Jon Powell for problem probate cases.

Attorney information displayed in this FAQ section is based upon information the lawyer has included on their profile, in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

These FAQs include information about a lawyer's background, but do not evaluate their knowledge of the law, past performance on individual cases, personality, or communication skills.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

You should be aware that the information we rely upon may not be comprehensive, or frequently updated.

Always research the lawyer further to get a better understanding of their license credentials, disciplinary status, background, and experience.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions
