Facing criminal charges is overwhelming. The uncertainty, the fear of what comes next, the weight of what's at stake — it's a lot to carry. You don't have to face it alone.

Who We Are
Christopher Routh is a seasoned criminal defense trial attorney serving clients across Mississippi. From his offices in downtown Jackson and the Mississippi Delta, he travels to meet clients wherever they are — from the Gulf Coast to DeSoto County.
Chris believes that real defense work means being present. He takes a hands-on approach with every client and their family, because he understands that behind every case is a person whose life is on the line. That commitment has led him to fight for hundreds of Mississippians charged with all types of crimes — and to win.
Our Approach
Chris understands that a criminal charge doesn't just affect you — it ripples through your entire family and the people who love you. That's why he treats every case with the seriousness it deserves.
From the moment you hire Chris, he gets to work. He conducts an aggressive, thorough investigation of your case — leaving no stone unturned — because the strongest defense is built on the facts. He will dig into the details, challenge the evidence, and identify every possible avenue to fight for you.
Chris believes you deserve to be in control of your own defense. He will give you a clear picture of your options, grounded in honest legal advice and the findings of his investigation, so that you can make informed decisions about your case. You will never be left in the dark.
No attorney can promise a specific outcome — no one can control what a judge, prosecutor, or jury will do. But Chris can promise you this: he will outwork, outprepare, and outfight anyone on the other side of your case. You will have the strongest defense Mississippi has to offer.
