Before your child even took his or her first breath, your doctor or care team made a mistake that forever changed the course of your child's life and your family's future. What was supposed to be one of the happiest days of your life tragically became bittersweet. Perhaps immediately or perhaps years after birth, you were told that your child will be developmentally delayed due to a birth injury.
Like millions of Americans, you relied on a medical professional, clinic or hospital to provide you or a loved one with the best possible care during a moment of physical need. Unfortunately, you learned the hard way that the medical industry is not immune to mistakes and this has left you or a loved one in financial, physical and emotional ruins.

I highly recommend Blake Scott. He takes the time to explain the process and is an excellent communicator. I was kept up to date on our case with regular updates and any questions I had were answered promptly. It was wonderful to be able to hand the case to Blake and know it was being taken care of in a kind, honorable, and professional way. If you are in need of a personal injury attorney Blake will take care of you. Highly, highly recommend!

I can NOT say enough about Hixson & Brown.
I worked with Mr Hixson and he went above and beyond for our family. He did things for us that he didn’t need to do.
He clearly explained things in our complicated case (young son passed away) and also emailed us details so I would have it for reference later.
We worked with other lawyers that couldn’t figure some things out and Mr. Hixson is the one that was able to dissect our case.
I honestly feel so lucky to come across this law firm. I’m hoping he can work in the future with us on our case. Thank you again Mr. Hixson!!

I had a bad automobile accident that involved an injury. I sought council with this firm, and Blake Scott offered his services. While any type of litigation effort is long, arduous and difficult Blake helped make the experience the best it could possibly be with his professionalism, as well as his compassion. Highly, highly recommend.

Russ and his team helped us through a tragic time in our lives. Russ personally called within minutes of receiving information about the potential case. He was always very quick to reply to any questions and offered outstanding feedback. If you want a stellar attorney, that treats his clients like family, consider Hixson and Brown.

Our experience with Hixson and Brown Law was positive from the moment we consulted their firm. J Russell Hixson was invaluable in helping us through a difficult time. His professionalism and caring representation in our medical malpractice suit has been exceptional. My family and I have been through so much these past three years as a result of my hospitalization, surgery and continued recovery. The life changing events that we experienced were traumatic and there were many touch and go moments, not knowing if I would live or die. God’s plan for me was to live and even though life will never

Russ Hixson was extremely helpful when I needed assistance a number of years ago because of a medical mistake. He was thorough and efficient in staying on top of the progress toward the goal. His experience helped us determine what we should ask for and assisted me in understanding the process. Russ was quick to respond to emails and his knowledge and skills were evident through the process. He understands the medical profession and that was extremely helpful as we navigated forward. He is an attorney with integrity and genuine concern for his clients. If I had a need for this type of help, I would
