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!

Faces 5- 20

I had been attacked by a disgruntled in law. I managed to take his weapon and severely injure him. I was charged with malicious wounding with intent. I was held without bond for five very cruel months.Mr Morris was brilliant he argued the charges down to involuntary which carried 1-5 years. He was no...t content with that slight victory nor was I as I was actually innocent. Mr Morris pressed the court until the truth was undeniable. All charges were dismissed. I am very pleased with Mr Morris and I am forever grateful as he has given me my life back.

Excellent Lawyer!

Mr. Morris is an excellent lawyer who knows how to try a case. I found him to be reasonable with expectations, play to strengths, minimize weaknesses, have knowledge of the law and how to present a case.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
