Adoption

I was referred to Mark Morris by a friend who went through the adoption process. I first spoke with him on the phone for 45 minutes before even hiring him. He took the time to explain the entire process in detail, emailed me information, and made sure to follow up with me. Once we got the ball rolli...ng he and his staff (Erica) were very efficient. Adopting a child is an emotional rollercoaster and having them step us through everything assured us we never had to worry about that part of the process. As we got closer to delivery time, Mark gave us his personal cell phone number so he could be at the hospital to get the paperwork signed. They even brought us a baby gift!! I can't say enough about how professional, polite, and efficient this office is. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you've done for us. The Hill's

Great Family Law Attorney

At one of the most difficult times in my life Mark stepped in. He was more than just my divorce attorney, he was a friend. He gracefully led me through each step, assuring me that everything would work out. I am completely satisfied with his services and altogether impressed with he and his staff. He... had beyond sufficient knowledge for the matter and yet was so humble and caring. He did what was best for me and helped me understand what was best when I wasn’t sure myself. I highly recommend Mark, he is a great guy and makes a wonderful family lawyer.

So Greatful

Taking care of my mother has been a true challenge, and having "Help" every now and then is a Blessing. That's what I felt like I received with Mark Morris and his Office. We've never needed legal representation before, (in court). Recently we did, and at 80 that was a scary thought for my mother, an...d me. First...they found us. A nice letter came offering help. I called, asked the questioned I needed made the decision for them to handle "everything". Explained to Mother we were in great hands. Court Day came and Mr Morris was so kind and understanding. I can't thank him enough for helping us through this. We Highly Recommend Mark Morris and his Office. I finally feel like I have "Legal Friends" I can go to if I ever need help again.

Excellent Lawyer

My case was pretty simple and easy. It lasted all about 3 to 4 months top. Even though my ex's and I custody agreement is only temporary unless my ex doesn't try to fight it for one year, I got everything I asked for. Not for selfishness, but for the safty of my child. Mark listened to absolutely eve...rything I ever told him and asked for out of this whole court deal. He is a very pleasent man to work with and cares more than about just the money. He is most definitely the ONLY lawyer I will ever go to again if I have anymore issues with custody. He is very smart and he is darn good at his job. I appreciate everything he done for my child and I through this. My props go out to him. I will most definitely be recommending him to anyone I know if they need a lawyer for this type of case. Immaculate Lawyer!!!

Exceptional Attorney

Mark Morris is an exceptional attorney. He recently aided my husband and I in the adoption of our son. The process went smoothly and we were well informed throughout the process. Previously, Mark helped us win a suit with our house against a contract from a local company. His thoroughness and judgme...nt brought a quick end without a court appearance and he was able to help us settle the matter with the company. He was willing to go through a court appearance if need be. I recommend Mark Morris to anyone who has any legal questions or concerns because he will help you.
