You want her in your corner

During a difficult time, such as a divorce, you want Elisha in your corner. She is smart, attentive, and quick to action. Elisha is so poised and professional that you will be proud to have her as your representation. Elisha helps break down complicated matters, and is always available by phone or em...ail to review outstanding questions or issues.

The whole package

Just do it, pay the retainer, it’s worth it. You’ll always have the upper hand; the more reasonable proposals, the better articulated documentation, the more personal lawyer-to-client relationship, etc. If you’re overwhelmed and anxious and cut her off seventy-five times, she speaks calmly the... seventy-sixth time, even though you don’t deserve it, because shes really there for you. She’s just the whole package, already in the court room before you or the other party get there, ready to carry you through the darkness. I wish I was kidding, but it’s actually that dramatic.

Divorce Counsel

E. Morris came highly recommended. While working on my case, Elisha was attentive, professional and aggressive. Great communication and always followed up on calls/emails. Elisha will be the first to call if ever need counsel within the future

Custody and More

I retained Attorney Morris when I decided that I wanted to try to get custody of my children and also needed to handle a business matter related to my divorce. Elisha was incredibly thorough and used all the information in trying to get the business matter and custody matter handled in my favor. It w...as a long process because the State was involved with the children also, but Elisha stayed the course and kept me informed of developments every step of the way. Elisha is professional, courteous, compassionate and knowledgeable. If a 10 star rating was an option I would gladly apply it to my experience with Elisha as my attorney.

Custody case

I hired Ms. Morris to represent me in a custody case. She was able to award me with full custody of my daughter. I could not thank Ms. Morris enough. Ms. Morris is the kindest and most attentive attorney that I have ever dealt with. I would HIGHLY recommend Ms. Morris to anyone.
