Satisfied Customer

Mr. W. Ware Morrison, is an exceptional attorney. His firm has handled several cases of mine including; divorce, child support/spousal support, car accident injury, civil, and criminal. No matter what his firm always assisted me and handle each case in a timely matter depending on the case. Some cas...es take a little longer. His staff work very well with you and his wife, Mrs. Nancy Morrison is awesome too. She is beautiful but don't play when it comes to getting you your $$$. Ms. Mary, Mrs. Lynda, Mrs. Viki, and more are highly educated and an informative staff. I love the individual attention, affordable rates, timely cases, customer service, and winning my cases.

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!
