May 28, 2024 – Strauss Massey Dinneen LLC (SMD) is pleased to announce its official opening of an office in Gulfport, Mississippi, located Downtown at 1310 27^th Avenue, Suite 203, 39501 / (601) 895-1600.

“Since we started the firm in New Orleans in 2019, expansion to Mississippi has been a key component of our strategic plan due to our clients’ legal needs in that market,” explains David Strauss, the firm’s Managing Member. “In fact, our firm has been active in Mississippi since the firm originated and our new office will allow us to more efficiently resource our clients’ Mississippi matters.”

SMD’s Gulfport office will represent clients in a broad range of matters, including insurance coverage and defense, professional liability, commercial litigation, and construction disputes. The Gulfport office will be led by Christopher Corkern, a tenured litigator who is licensed in both in Mississippi and Louisiana. Chris has successfully litigated and tried a broad range of insurance and commercial disputes in both state and federal courts across Mississippi, as well as appeals before the Mississippi Court of Appeals, Mississippi Supreme Court, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.

In addition to the Mississippi office, SMD is also recently welcomed new associates Cherish A. Kenner and Tyler M. Landrieu to its New Orleans office.

SMD’s continued growth is driven by its deep relationships with its clients, and its commitment to understanding the businesses and insurers it represents at an institutional level, to appreciate the “big picture” and not offer advice in a legal vacuum.
