Margaret Oertling Cupples

Margo Friloux is an attorney with Mama Justice – MW Law Firm and is licensed in Mississippi and Tennessee. Current legal-directory information identifies her practice as personal injury, and the firm maintains an office in Jackson along with other locations. Before entering her present injury practice, she worked for the Mississippi Department of Human Services in Starkville, where she established and enforced child support obligations and conducted hearings for several northern Mississippi counties.

Friloux earned a B.A. in Political Science from Mississippi State University and later received a J.D. from Mississippi College School of Law. She also spent a summer studying at John Cabot University in Rome. During law school, she participated in student organizations and completed externships with the University of Mississippi Medical Center’s in-house counsel and Judge James T. Kitchens Jr. of Mississippi’s 16th Judicial District. These experiences added practical exposure to legal writing and courtroom procedure.

Friloux’s current personal injury practice builds on experience gained in public-service hearings and legal externships. Injury matters can require careful review of accident facts, medical records, insurance issues, causation, and damages. Her prior child support work also involved direct advocacy and repeated hearing experience, which provided early courtroom exposure. Current sources list personal injury rather than family law as her active practice area, so her earlier child support work is treated as professional background rather than her present specialty.

Margo Friloux brings legal training, government-service experience, and current personal injury work to clients in Mississippi and Tennessee. Her background includes both administrative or family-support proceedings and representation within a plaintiff-focused injury firm. Friloux’s experience with hearings, client communication, and detailed case records supports an organized approach to claims where injured people need help understanding legal options, documenting losses, addressing insurance issues, and pursuing available compensation through negotiation or litigation.
