Following a three-year period of practicing law in Jackson, Mississippi, Richard F. Scruggs returned in 1980 to his childhood environs of Jackson County, Mississippi, to establish Richard F. Scruggs, P.A. in Pascagoula. Commencing with a local general practice, he soon became quite busy in his representation of a number of commercial bankruptcy clients.
Over the years, the practice and the firm grew to its present size principally through its representation of clients injured in the workplace, chiefly those exposed to high noise levels and other injurious substances and processes in their occupations.
