100% there to help you

I can't put into words how wonderful it was to work with Bill. This is my family's second engagement with Bill. My mother used him as her attorney for the sale of her business. This time he helped us with the sale of our family home. Every time we spoke to Bill, I knew he had our best interest in... mind. He and Liz are a great team and get the job done. He is definitely a busy man but he will look to see whatever he takes on, all the way through. He is not there bill you for every minute of his time, he is there to help you. Choose Bill!

Very knowledgeable and helpful when I sold my business. Knew all the right questions to ask and put me in the best position during negotiations. He is honest and forthright and put me at ease. I have used Mr. Morrin's services on a number of occasions and have always been satisfied. I would highl...y recommend him.

Hard Working And Honest, Doesn't Know The Meaning Of Failure

Bill Morrin has represented my bar since 1995, when L&I head honcho, Frank Antico, sent his henchmen to shut down the club. Antico was trying to close every gogo bar in Philadelphia and his henchmen placed a "Cease and Desist" sign on my door when I refused to play ball. As L&I was forcing my workers... and patrons out of the club to shut down my operation I called Bill and told him what was happening and he told me to be in his office at 8:00am the following day. At 9:00am we stood before Judge Russell Nigro, Bill argued his case and the Judge told the attorney for L&I that they were wrong and told me to reopen the club at once. Antico later went to prison! Since then, Bill has represented my club for every licensing and zoning problem the city has thrown at me and helped keep my club operating in the face of an ever increasing evil and money-hungry city administration. He has appealed and won every violation and citation the city has sent to my club. Recently, he has gone to bat for me in Common Pleas Court after the zoning board failed to renew my variance and once again proved to be an effective attorney by gaining my club a permanent license to operate without ever having to beg the zoning board for a variance again. I will someday retire and won't be needing Bill for Liquor Law or Zoning Law after I sell the club so I'm hoping other bar owners will read this and give Bill their business as I don't believe you can find a harder working sole practitioner attorney. I'm still going to use Bill to represent me in any business and personal issues that arise in the future.

Hard working, honest and thorough

Bill is a hard worker, he is honest, thorough and fair with his fee. I have used Mr. Morrin for auto accidents, leases, bankruptcy advise and starting my Corporation. He is up to date and informative and has a manner that makes you trust in him, very professional and effective.

Always reliable

I owned a huge bar for almost 7 years that I recently sold, Bill was my attorney throughout my ownership and handled countless suites and legal inquires. Bill was always reliable and knew just how to handle each case as it came about. And he always returns my calls and kept me in the loop throughout ...the process. Bill is especially effective in liquor and litigation matters. When it comes to liquor law he has seen it all, well almost, but when a new situation presents itself his past experiences give Bill the knowledge to know just how to figure out the best way to proceed. He also comes well prepared for all possible outcomes…like the saying goes, Victory Loves Preparation! I would and do refer him as often as I can for any legal issues, which always works out because if I refer him a case and he feels may be a bit outside his expertise he has an extensive rolodex of other dependable attorneys to refer you to and I always appreciated his honesty on those matters.
