Honest, hardworking and the most knowledgeable lawyer I ever had
I have used Mr. Morelli as an attorney for several years now, as I know whenever I have a legal matter that this is the man to turn to. He has helped me when I got into a car accident in Sep 08' and again when I sold my business earlier this year. Both instances were very positive, as when you actually talk to Mr. Morelli you see that his knowledge and understanding of the law is enormously vast. Most importantly he treats his clients with the utmost respect and humanity, something that is rare to find these days and for I give him an A+
