Background:
Raised on a commercial chicken farm just outside Wiggins, Miss., Apryl Lee Ready, is no stranger to hard work. While she has great respect for farmers, she knew at an early age that farming was not for her and that education was the key to achieving her goal of becoming an attorney and owning her own business. After obtaining degrees from Mississippi State University and Mississippi College School of Law, it didn't take her long to learn that she was not cut out to be a corporate lawyer. Instead, she realized that what made her happy was helping injured people as they battle the insurance giants for the benefits they deserve. Apryl practiced law in South Mississippi with a firm for nine years before establishing her own practice, The Ready Law Firm, P.L.L.C., in 2007.
