A Very Special Attorney

In one of the most difficult times of my life, I faced a mountain that I never thought I would have to face—divorce and custody of my daughter. Complex as it was, with details that could have been overwhelming, Mark made it so simple for me. He informed me about every step that I needed to take, an...d at the same time was so efficient. Being dedicated and committed, Mark always cared about my best interest. What could have been a miserable situation was handled so gracefully. Mark is a very special attorney who gives his heart to help his clients. I am so grateful he represented me.

Above and Beyond

One thing I can say about Mark Morris is that he doesn't rest until the job is done. When my husband abandoned me and my small child, Mark went above and beyond my expectations. Overnight he drew up the necessary paperwork that would allow me to have my husband removed from my insurance policy and ke...ep me protected from unnecessary financial obligations that my husband may incur. Mark was thorough, covering bases that had not even occurred to me. He also helped me with the adoption of my child which was a complex situation involving social services. He was knowledgeable and determined to have the process executed properly so that the adoption would go smoothly. I wholeheartedly recommend Mark Morris as an attorney who will exceed your highest expectations and provide the assurance of a job well done!

Great lawyer!

I have known Mark for 4-5 years. He has continually helped our family with family law issues. His advise has really paid off over the years. If this man tells you how to handle a case you'd better take his advise. His friendly demeanor makes him easy to work with and you never feel like you are being... talked down to. Super nice guy and good lawyer!

The Best Attorney!

Mark is the best attorney. He is very professional! He and his office staff made sure everything was taken care of professionally. They all were always very sweet and helpful. Mark Morris is very thorough. We looked at everything from all directions and were prepared for anything and everything which... brought peace of mind of the circumstances. He is trustworthy and he is very dependable! I could call him anytime if something arose where I needed answers fast. He or his office staff would make sure I knew what to do. Mark would always keep me thoroughly informed.

DWI charge dismissed

I was arrested and charged with DWI in Rutherford Co., NC one night. I was taken to the Sheriffs Office and given an intoxication test. I had to blow into the machine. The result was negative. Twice. I went before the Magistrate and the Magistrate said probable cause could not be found. Then I overh...eard the officers in the background say, 'We'll just say he was over the legal limit when he was arrested.' That made me think, Well, we are the police and we will say anything we want. That is when I decided to dispute this charge. Mr. Morris contacted me through the mail offering me legal services. During an appointment that was arranged I explained to Mr. Morris the circumstances of my arrest, which were vague at best, and then my release from the Sheriffs Office with my drivers license intact but with a court date looming with a DWI charge. Mr. Morris said 'This is bizarre.' and agreed to assist me with my case. In the end Mr. Morris took my case to actual trial and the charge was dismissed. I was impressed by the confident attitude Mr. Morris displayed in court while questioning the arresting officer and arguing the obscure aspects of my DWI charge.
