Philip Hearn is a seasoned trial attorney and the founder of Hearn Law Firm, a powerhouse litigation practice with deep roots in North Mississippi. With over 33 years of experience, Philip has built a reputation as a relentless advocate for the "underdog," specializing in personal injury, employment discrimination, and high-stakes WARN Act litigation.

Today, Philip manages a robust team across four offices, representing clients in 48 states while maintaining a commitment to "servant leadership." A former college athlete and a dedicated father of six, he balances a rigorous legal career with active community service. Whether he is defending workers in mass layoff cases or appearing as a legal expert in the media, Philip remains driven by a simple, unwavering philosophy: treat people with dignity, work harder than the competition, and always answer the phone.
