Tangi A Carter

ATTORNEY/OWNER

Tangi has been more than an attorney; she’s been a steadfast ally to those navigating the twists and turns of the legal system. Her practice is built on a foundation of deep respect—for the law, and more importantly, for the people she serves. With Tangi, you’re not just getting a lawyer; you’re gaining a passionate defender committed to protecting what’s most precious to you: your rights and your freedom.

Tangi’s legal expertise crosses state lines and courtroom boundaries, with a license to practice in Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida, Tennessee, and Federal Courts. But it’s not her impressive credentials that define her—it’s her human touch. She listens, she understands, and she fights—not just for a case, but for a cause: justice for every client she represents. It’s this blend of heartfelt advocacy and seasoned experience that has made Tangi a trusted name in law for over a quarter of a century.

Lindsay S. Arevalo

ASSOCIATE ATTORNEY

I had the privilege to participate in an elite leadership program within the Young Lawyers Division of the Mississippi Bar Association and graduated as a member of the class of 2024. Even after 10 years of practicing law, this leadership class opened my eyes to many facets of lawyering that I had not encountered before. To cap off this experience, my classmates and I were honored during the Mississippi Bar Convention in Destin. The Bar hosted a special reception for all Leadership alumni and honored the class of 2024 with beautiful placards commemorating our year of leadership together. I am proud to hang it on my office wall at the firm and look forward to future conversations with clients and lawyers alike about my time in Leadership Mississippi Bar.
