Kitchens Law Firm- A Leading North Louisiana Law Firm

Nelson Smith

Nelson graduated with his law degree from Ole Miss in 1990. He obtained his undergraduate degree from Ole Miss as well, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Physics, minoring in Chemistry, Biology, English and German. He is admitted to practice law in both Mississippi and Louisiana.

He began his practice in Columbus, Mississippi, practicing as a shareholder in the Gholson, Hicks & Nichols PA law firm and subsequently as a partner in the Hicks & Smith PLLC firm. He has practiced in both the Northern and Southern federal court districts in Mississippi and is admitted to practice before the federal U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. Nelson now practices with the Kitchens Law Firm in Minden, Louisiana.

Nelson’s primary areas of practice include personal injury, insurance defense, contracts, and domestic matters, always with the focus on helping “regular folks.” He understands that his neighbor, his fellow church goers, the cashier at the grocery store, the oilfield worker, the construction worker, the husband, the wife, the children - are all just good people who need help in difficult circumstances.

Nelson is married and has four children. He and his wife Ginger attend First Baptist Church of Minden. Outside of the law practice, Nelson is an avid outdoorsman, deer hunter, fisherman, sport’s enthusiast, and enjoys reading as well.
