Who Is Attorney Joey Franks at Big Man Law in Jackson, MS?

If you have ever faced a DUI charge or a criminal accusation in Mississippi, you need Attorney Joey Franks, the Big Man at Big Man Law in Jackson.

From Railroad Engineer to Courtroom Fighter

Attorney Franks grew up in West Monroe, Louisiana, and after graduating from West Ouachita High School, he earned a Bachelor of Arts in speech communication from the University of Louisiana at Monroe. Before and after college, he worked hard. He poured concrete, did carpentry, worked in a paper mill, ran an antique store, and operated a salvage yard.

Then he worked on the railroad. He started as a train brakeman with the Louisiana and Delta Railroad, earned promotions to train conductor and then locomotive engineer, and later moved on to the Canadian National Railroad. That kind of background gives you a different perspective than someone who went straight from undergrad to law school.

In 2011, Franks enrolled at Mississippi College School of Law and graduated cum laude in 2014. He served on the Moot Court Board, acted as treasurer of the Student Federal Bar Association, participated in the Civil Law Society, and was a student librarian. He has a tremendous work ethic.

What Big Man Law Does For You

Big Man Law is built around one attorney and focuses on DUI defense, drug possession charges, and criminal defense for people in Mississippi.

Attorney Franks is a member of the National College for DUI Defense and participates in ongoing education. DUI defense is not just about showing up to court. It involves reviewing whether the traffic stop was legal in the first place, challenging field sobriety tests, examining how breathalyzer or blood test results were handled, and going through dash cam and body cam footage with a careful eye.

On the criminal defense side, The Big Man takes a similarly thorough approach. He meets with clients, reviews arrest reports, questions police procedures, interviews witnesses, and looks for holes in the prosecution's case before it ever reaches a jury. He also handles jury selection with the goal of keeping biased jurors out. If a plea agreement makes sense, he negotiates for the best possible terms. If the case needs to go to trial, he goes.

Drug Charges in Mississippi Are No Small Matter

Mississippi takes drug offenses seriously. Possession of most narcotics is a felony and even marijuana possession is treated as a misdemeanor with consequences. A conviction can mean losing your driver's license, gun and voting rights, and freedom. Having a defense attorney who understands both the law and the stakes is important.

Attorney Franks says the quicker he gets involved in a drug case, the better the possible result. Early involvement evidence can be challenged, procedural errors can be identified, and options that are available early in a case may not be available later.

Reaching Big Man Law

Big Man Law operates out of Jackson and handles cases across the state of Mississippi. The firm is available around the clock. For anyone facing a DUI, drug charge, or other criminal matter in Mississippi, the first step is a consultation.

The legal system can feel stacked against you, especially when you face it for the first time. An attorney who takes the time to explain your options, stays in contact throughout the process, and is prepared to fight in court if necessary can make a real difference in how things turn out.

That is what Big Man Law is offering. And in high-stakes situations, most people need to hear that their attorney will show up prepared and ready to push back.
