Excellent/Skilled/Professional Family Attorney

I first met Kim Denise Morton when she handled a case against my now ex-husband in the 1980's, for his then 1st ex wife (I know confusing), let me say, she made that loser mother look normal to almost good, and smeared me (and I was actually the only parent doing anything for the child) so I knew whe...n I had a custody battle to fight against a completely different ex for my daughter (year 2000) I would look like the the Virgin Mary if I hired her and I did...and I won, and when I had problems with that same ex again kidnapping my child, guess who got her back...that's right Deni Morton. Why am I writing this today, because someone brought up custody battle in PA to me today and what they are facing and they stated they don't have an attorney in PA and I said call Kim Denise Morton and then I told him why. I respect how she went after me in court in the 80's she knew I was the primary caregiver and I had everything memorized and that my husband was the weak link so she had me sequestered so that he would have no assistance from me and would flounder and he did, if I had been in the courtroom we would have won and she knew that, she was brilliant. She beat me, who wouldn't want this woman to represent them, hence the reason I hired her years later.

Great counsel in a tough time

My divorce situation was very unique and it took a lot of effort on behalf of Deni to work through. On top of the divorce she helped me deal with child custody and the property settlement, which took two years to work through. She was very informative and responsive to my questions.

Kim Morton was a life saver during a very emotional and difficult process.

I was completely blind sided when I discovered my husband was leaving my 13yr old daughter and I with nothing but debt, unpaid utility bills, and a mortgage in default. I heard of Morton Family Law through a friend and called immediately. I walked into her office feeling hopelessly lost, having no id...ea of what I should do first. I left her office an hour later knowing that I was in good hands. Deni was very knowledgeable of the PA "no fault" laws. She was compassionate, comforting and extremely professional. Her priority was to make sure my daughter was taken care of. Her attention to detail in composing my POA and Child support saved us several times over when my ex husband took us to court to try to have support "re-adjusted."She was always prepared and ready for the unexpected at the hearings. There were many incidences during this process where I was concerned for mine and my daughter's safety. She immediately took control in implementing necessary contact restrictions. In short, Deni Morton is an extremely knowledgeable attorney, whose focus is to protect her client while reaching a fair solution for both parties. I highly recommended Deni Morton to anyone going through a divorce, especially when there are children involved.

Outstanding and experienced

Kim has represented me in two divorce proceedings. Her skills and professionalism are outstanding as evidenced in the fact that I used her the second time I needed a divorce attorney. She provides excellent advice, is fast and efficient. She has been doing family law for a number of years in Chest...er County and has fabulous relationships within the system and knows the procedures very well. Hopefully, I won't need her services in the future, but I highly recommend her for any of your family law issues.

Great Family Lawyer!

Ms Morton is a knowledgable and highly respected family law attorney. I would recommend her to anyone who needed a trustworthy, responsive lawyer. She represented me approximately 2 years ago and was intelligent and supportive throughout the case.

"When I used to handle family law cases, I had many against Deni. She is one of the very best in Chester County. Deni knows the law and works in the system every day so she is well known and respected by the Masters and Judges. She is an excellent negotiator and superb trial attorney who cares deeply about her clients and their families. I highly endorse Deni for any Family Law case!"
