Excellent Attorney

I recently hired James Morton for defense of a very minor misdemeanor charge. Though it would have been very easy to simply pay a very small fine and move on, I wanted a vigorous defense against what I viewed as an unwarranted charge. Jim kept my wishes at the forefront of his actions and offered s...age advice, He represented me extremely well and the outcome was better than I had even hoped. Jim has been practicing locally for many years and knows his way around the justice system. I hope to never need his services again, but will be very happy to know him if I do!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
