Kevin Wayne Frye

I currently serve as the Chair of Mississippi’s Special Education Advisory Panel, where I provide advice and guidance to the Office of Special Education. I am also the Legal Director of the SynGAP Research Fund, a global organization that supports families of SynGAP1 patients, including my youngest son who has been diagnosed with this rare genetic disorder affecting fewer than 1,500 known patients worldwide. Additionally, I am a member of Mississippi’s Rare Disease Advisory Panel.

I have been recognized as “Oxford’s Favorite Attorney” by readers of The Local Voice newspaper for fourteen consecutive years, starting in 2009. In April 2019, I was honored as one of Mississippi’s Top 50 Under 40 by the Mississippi Business Journal. From 2017 to 2018, I served as President of the Lafayette County Bar Association, and in November 2015, I was elected to serve as Lafayette County District 1 Supervisor.

My involvement extends to serving on the City of Oxford’s Downtown Parking Advisory Commission and the Board of Directors for the Lafayette County Bar Association. I am also a member of The Lamar Order at the University of Mississippi School of Law. Previously, I contributed to the community as a member of Oxford’s Historic Preservation Commission and Oxford’s Alcohol Task Force. I spent five years as an Adjunct Professor of Law at the University of Mississippi School of Law, where I was Director of the Public Service Internship Program and ABOTA Federal Trial Practice courses.

I earned my Juris Doctor from the University of Mississippi School of Law and am admitted to practice in all courts in Mississippi, Tennessee, the District of Columbia, the United States District Courts for the Northern and Southern Districts of Mississippi, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, and the Supreme Court of the United States.
