Outstanding Attorney

After retiring from the military we decided on moving from a small town in Georgia to Chesapeake Va. My daughter after just receiving her license we purchased her her first car. Unfortunately my daughter received a speeding ticket, going a high rate of speed on the interstate. Having to appear in... court not knowing what to expect yet alone requiring to have representations it was more serious than expected. This is definitely not GA. I searched for a lawyer and came upon Diallo Morris name. After speaking with him on the phone I instantly wanted him to represent my daughter. Our court date came and as I was standing outside the courtroom another lawyer asked me who is the lawyer I'm waiting on. I told him Diallo Morris and the gentleman response was exactly this " You have an Very Outstanding Lawyer " with all the confidence to ease this Father's worries. My daughter was looking at jail time. Let me tell you nothing but the truth of my 27 years of service I have never, ever and I mean never witnessed someone so professional, so gracious as an advocate, so confident with his presence. I was very impressed and now understood exactly what the other lawyer meant and why he said what he said. My daughter learned something that day and Mr Morris truly had my daughter best interest at heart. I will highly recommend Mr Diallo Morris you will not be disappointed. Great decision we made hiring him.

Happy client

Mr. Morris did exactly what I asked him to do! I called asking him to help me with a speeding ticket. He was upfront and made no promises except that he would try his best to deliver my requests and THAT HE DID! I spoke with him once over the phone, very pleasant, and he explained what I should expec...t. Couple of weeks later, received an update via email. Cased closed! Highly recommend him!
