Oustanding Attorney

I was referred to Ricky through a third party and was told that if I went to him I would be in good hands, and he did not fail me one bit! He helped me when I was initially appointed a court appointed attorney who gave me no hope with my federal case. As soon as I met with Ricky he took charge and ma...de calls to the Assistant US Attorney and after 6 weeks with him my charges were dropped! I would recommend anyone who needs an attorney to contact Ricky Morris!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"If you are in trouble in Henry or Clayton County, or anywhere in the South Metro area your first call should be to Ricky Morris in McDonough. He is an Officer for the GA Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. More importantly for you, Ricky is an ass kicker. When lawyers are in legal trouble Ricky is usually their first call. Do not hestitate to call Ricky whether you are charged with DUI or capital murder.."
