When your freedom of Family matter, Ricky W. Morris, Jr. is the only name you need to know. all other do not stack up!

Ricky has been my personal attorney for the past 15 years. In fact, I have used his services on numerous occasions for different criminal matters from serious charges to simple traffic offenses. Not only does Mr. Morris excel as the premier criminal defense attorney South of Atlanta, but Mr. Morris ...has taken care of my family in certain family law matters as well. Whenever any member of this family needs legal representation, we look to one attorney only Ricky W. Morris, Jr.

The best and he can prove it.

I retained Ricky after I got in a phyical dispute with a stranger. This resulted in the other person being injured with a weapon I had on my person. He came higly recommended and after my consultation I knew he was the one for the job. He listened to me and my concerns and exsplained to me the severi...ty of my situation. Most of all he was always honest good and bad. inever felt like I was in the dark at any point threw the time he represented me. He told me I had a hard case and it was either go to trial and be found not guilty or go to prison for 15yrs. I glad to say I was able to go home because Ricky was able to prove my innocence. He is simply amazing and was made for his position. His staff is also second to none . They are very informatine and pleasent. Nomatter how many times I called they were always polite. This should be the only number you call if you need any help with legal trouble. If he is not the best choice for you he will send you to who is.

"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.."
