HORRIBLE

Unfortunately we didn’t check reviews first and learned the hard way!!! Horrible practice, unprofessional, rude, paid way too much for services not rendered and am completely unsatisfied!!! We could’ve done a better job ourselves than this law firm did! They called us for updates....what?!?! I’m supp...osed to call you for updates on my case that I’m paying you thousands to handle!!! Smh. Horrible! I had one lawyer, then we show up to court and when our case is called some guy I don’t know comes up and sits by me... apparently he was my new lawyer and no one felt the need to make us aware of this... this new lawyer at first seems a little better than the first one.... but nope, was even worse. They got our hopes up, they filed all types of petitions that were never needed or asked to be filed...they got their billing wrong and called asking for more money, but luckily I’d kept records of all money paid to them and after them being rude, guess what?! I got a call apologizing, and we were right?! Please do not waste your time or money on this practice!!!

Criminal Justice and Garnishment Review

He took on my case when no-one else was willing to even entertain the possibility! I was un-justly garnished and held in fugitive status by the Department Of Veterans' Affairs. I was deemed a fugitive from Justice and could not obtain my disability benefits while being garnished for over $75,000 do...llars. This turned out to be a much greater as complication as a litigated matter could get. He appeared in court with me and made it look easy! I like his style and his passion for the dispensation for justice. Most of all, he was very agreeable and paid strict attention to detail! I fully intend to use him for all of my future legal needs' and for a up-coming Malpractice Case for which I am pursuing. I fully recommend him for any-one who' is in the search for and in the need for real justice.....

Don't waste your time!

Mr. Morrison Lied to me, miss leaded me too. I wished I checked his ratings first before I agreed to pay him. I wouldn't recommend him to my worse enemy. The va state board should investigate his practice because I'm sure that many other people feel the same way I do. He agreed to everything of my e...x attorney and my ex , but not me. I disagreed with the unfair settlement, but mr Morrison told me that he wasn't going to take it to court. He charged me several thousands of dollars to tell a lie and nothing was done, never took it to the court , plus he made my situation even worse than when I came to him, + now I own money, for what ? really don't understand how he still have his license.

Terrible follow-through and inexperienced lawyer on staff

All hype. Was told they would take care of getting me a settlement for my accident (I was hit in the back of my vehicle). The lawyer in the firm I was working seemed good, but he left in the middle of my preparation for jury trial. That should have been a clue but I had never been to court or to a l...awyer before. The newbie lawyer that had me working on my part of the preparation said "Mr Morrison will be at the trial" which was not correct. She did nothing to introduce to the jury the evidence from my doctor, including his notes and statement, insisting that the jury would review the about-90 pages of doctor's notes (they didn't). Never objected to half-truths and minimizing statements the other lawyer was pummeling the jury with, I am left with thousands of dollars in doctor's bill and a zero settlement. Thanks for nothing Morrison!

A++++ LAWYER. I am very pleased with Mr. Morrison and the great results he got for me in my divorce.

He fought for me in court and got me the financial support I needed.
