Great Attorney

Phillip Lorenz with Morrison & Hughes is one of the most professional personal injury attorneys I have met with. He understands what customers need and what it takes to win cases. He will help you understand the process and what you need to do throughout to make sure your case runs as smoothly as possible.

The very best attorney ever!!

I am 89 years old and have never needed an attorney. Three years ago I had a very serious life-changing accident. I knew I needed the best attorney and by the grace of God I found Phil Lorenz with Morrison and Hughes. That was my lucky day! When I met him, I felt immediate trust and confidence that he was the best. He is a kind and gentle man, but don't let him fool you. In the courtroom, he is a bulldog! What more can I say about the Morrison and Hughes Law Firm other than I love this team of Phil, Hil and Tristan! Phil certainly fought and won for me! I will be forever grateful to him!

Best Lawyer Ever

After my car wreck and getting nowhere with his insurance company, I searched for a good lawyer to handle my case. I was referred to Morrison & Hughes. There I began working with Phil Lorenz on my case. He is very intelligent and knows the law better than anyone I've ever met. He worked tirelessly and fought for me every step of the way. He showed the insurance companies that he was willing and able to beat them in court. In the end, he gave me a bigger settlement than I ever dreamed I would get. Phil is an amazing lawyer who truly cares for his clients and fights for each and every one of them. I would recommend him to anyone needing a lawyer. He is that good.

Great Attorney

Mr. Lorenz represented me in an HOA case and did a remarkable job! I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a very competent attorney. He is extremely knowledgeable and responsive and guided my case to a positive resolution.

Posted by Delve | October 16, 2013

One of the best lawyers I have encountered in 30 years

Phil has been a client for many, many years and Delve Information Resources, Inc. has listed him as a premier client who we trust absolutely as far as payment of invoices, returning telephone calls and performing as a professional in a profession where too many are known for a lack of ethics. Phil has served our country, and ethics run through his blood. Delve is proud to have him as a client and I would highly recommend him to ANYBODY seeking a lawyer.

Amazing Attorney!

I met Phil after being in a serious car accident that required an extensive stay in the hospital. He helped guide me throughout my legal process to ensure I would receive fair compensations to cover the cost of the medial bills I incurred. He got my case settled quickly, and my medical bills were paid along with enough to get my life going again. He was very professional and compassionate. I would definitely recommend Phil to anyone who needs an attorney.
