Highly Recommended

I rate Mr. Morrison with the highest rating and found him to be the kind of lawyer you hope you have representing you. Outstanding work on my case and outstanding results. Mr. Morrison spent hours with me preparing my case and after presenting it to the opposing lawyers, he got a great award of compe...nsation for me. He was always very professional, and quickly responded to my phone calls and emails. He kept me updated on the developments in my case and took the time to answer all my questions. He always made me feel like my case was the most important case he had, although I know he has many clients. If you want an attorney who will be dedicated to your objectives, look no further than Mr. Morrison.

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.

W.WARE MORRISON

I Hired Mr. W. Ware Morrison to represented me for my Divorce. My divorce was a very complicated one and went for over 28 months we put together several equitable proposals to the soon to be Ex-Wife which were turned down. The Ex-Wife took me to court and she was warned by the judge that we should se...ttle before court was in session. The trial was two days and the judge found no fault and denied 9 of the 10 judgements that she brought against me. The judge saw thru the smoke and mirrors. Mr. Morrison was very thorough and kept me update thru correspondence and telephone calls. All appointments were kept and the office staff always cordial. I would highly recommend Mr. W. Ware Morrison for your Divorce or any other legal matters. :D ***Word of advice Divorce is an awful thing and requires Patients it did pay off in the long run trust Mr. Morrison to Represent you***

WORST EXPERIENCE. DO NOT USE THIS FIRM

Dealing with this firm made my divorce case was a nightmare. It was not timely. I had no idea what was going on. I never received any documents and my calls were never answered or returned when I tried to check a status. Meanwhile, my husband could always tell me where it stood (and usually that th...ey were waiting on my attorney) because his lawyer kept him informed. Several months later I still don't know where my aimony or payment stands. I was even asked to contact my ex-husband for his address. This is over $5500 later. They did call to tell me to pay them more money in order to file the divorce papers. Ten On Your Side is my next call.
