Historic Biloxi Lighthouse (1848)The Historic Biloxi Lighthouse (shown at right), like all lighthouses, served to guide mariners out of distress and into safe harbour. We at Reeves & Mestayer feel that it is symbolic of our responsibilities to the community. In conjunction with this mission we offer the following links to various websites. Some of the sites offer help for those in distress while others, such as Nursing Home Compare and The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration websites, provide information to help make your family safer. These sites have proven helpful to many of those we have represented over the years.
