The Consummate Professional

Counselor Jeremy Morley an expert in his field and thoroughly explains the ins and outs of the law to his clients. He is the professional you want in your corner when you go to court. Thank you Mr. Morley.

Superb Attorney!

He's a fantastic attorney who assisted me with key legal advice to win my divorce case. He was truly an expert in his field and someone who helped salvage my legal situation.

A superb international family lawyer

Mr. Morley is an incredibly knowledgeable and bright attorney. I used him as an expert in a family law case to prove that California custody orders were not enforceable in Japan and the Court relied on his testimony to deny the opposing party's move away request. His website his also a phenomenal res...ource that I continue to use to this day.

ample gratitude

I consulted Mr. Morley who later became an expert witness at my trial that related to child abduction to Asia. The gentleman has a vast knowledge of these niche matters and there is no second best on earth who compares. He was always attentive to needs that sometimes required action items and an info...rmed response within a few hours to save the life of a young child. His credentials and expertise is rare to match for both international and domestic family law matters. His understanding of the situation is sharp and of unparalleled quality. His professional conduct and mannerism are of high courtesy when it comes to family lawyers. He is not a family lawyer but "divine intervention" for family matters very few people know at an international scale. As part of these proceedings I had to communicate with two lawyers in the UK and Japan, they knew his name as they often seek his expertise. I was positively surprised what a global impact he has. His staff is equally attentive and pro-active reflecting his top notch qualities. He is also a bit of a "brainiac" that makes him a good communicator. From all funds I have spent in the past 3 years in this custody (first) and abduction (later) case, I received by many orders of magnitude the best quality service with the most reasonable charges and a real honest treatment. The gentleman had a life-long IMPACT in my case - in contrast to the domestic custody matters that seem to drag forever progressing nowhere just consuming legal dollars. God bless Mr. Morley and his staff. Unless one walks the shoes of child abduction, it is hard to understand the value and service this office provides to international couples and not only. Once my child grows, she will learn his name and service to her, like a doctor at an emergency, he saved her life.

good lawyer if you don't mind being double billed

I met with Jeremy Morley to review a prenuptial agreement. Upon arriving at his 'office' which is a coworking space, I learned that he hadn't even read the document we were meeting to discuss. After about an hour of personal anecdotes and very generic advice he announced he had to leave and would rea...d the agreement and followup with me in a few days. After having done his homework from the previous week, we spoke for ten minutes where he offered no new information. Then I was contacted by his office explaining that in addition to my paid consultation fee there would be a $600 charge for Mr. Morley's "additional time". The two stars I gave him are for being on time to the meeting and prompt in correspondence and the other because he seems very knowledgeable. Minus one star for not being prepared for our meeting, minus another for being rather loose lipped about other clientele (which is a big privacy violation in my view) and minus the third for the shady billing practices. He did point out several times that I was poorer than his average client, so perhaps these shenanigans don't offend people who are extremely wealthy.

"I had an opportunity to work with Mr. Morley on an international family matter. I was impressed by his knowledge in international laws from his experience of many years. It is hard to find a US attorney who is versed in complicated international legal cases as Mr. Morley. I also saw him putting extra efforts in researching and making a winning argument for his client. I highly recommend Mr. Morley for any client who needs a confident counsel in international family laws."
