Alison Guider Geter

Prior to joining Balch, I spent three years clerking for United States Magistrate Judge John C. Gargiulo. During my clerkship, I worked on a wide variety of civil discovery matters, appeals from the Social Security Administration, and dispositive motions in Section 1983 litigation. During this time, I learned the importance of thorough research and the benefit of a well-written, persuasive brief. Additionally, I was able to observe the demeanor and advocacy skills of a number of attorneys in the courtroom and other conferences with the Court, which has given me insight into what strategies best serve my clients.

I regularly work on cases throughout the State of Mississippi, and have appeared before state Civil, County, and Chancery Court Judges, and I have routinely worked on cases before the Mississippi Supreme Court and Court of Appeals. Likewise, I handle cases in Mississippi’s federal district courts and before the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Additionally, I have experience in arbitrations before the American Arbitration Association.
