John Kitchens

John W. Kitchens is a founding partner of Kitchens Law Firm, P.A., where he represents individuals in personal injury, wrongful death, and intentional tort cases. Practicing law since 2003, John focuses exclusively on the rights of injured people-never insurance companies-and works to ensure that his clients receive necessary medical treatment early in the process while their cases are pending. He has tried cases throughout Mississippi and is known for a hands-on, strategic approach that emphasizes preparation, clear communication, and client trust. His legal work is grounded in the belief that every client deserves respect, attention, and the strongest possible advocacy-regardless of the size or complexity of the case. He is frequently called on to handle serious and high-stakes matters, including those involving traumatic brain injuries, wrongful death, disputed liability, and multi-party litigation. These cases often require coordination with experts across a range of disciplines-from medical professionals and life care planners to accident reconstructionists, engineers, and economists. John’s litigation experience includes every phase of a case, from intake through verdict, and he is equally experienced in resolving cases without the need for a trial when it serves the client’s best interest. He is also adept at navigating complex insurance issues, including questions of coverage, exclusions, and stacking. In every case, his focus remains on maximizing the client’s recovery and protecting their long-term interests-both financial and medical-while ensuring they feel informed and supported throughout the process.
