OUTSTANDING LAWYER

The best attorney I've been privileged to have manage and help me in Mama's Estate and taxes. Everett calls back and answer questions in terms easy to understand this complex estate process. Everett is extremely professional yet kind; am not sure how I could have survived the nonstop obstacles withou...t Everett's help. I highly recommend Mr. Everett Morris for estate, financial planning and tax preparation. He is a certified financial planner and IRS tax preparer. I trust Everett, an attorney who has his clients best interest. Best attorney ever!

Competent and Personable

Everett helped me understand and avoid possible tax consequences to an insurance settlement I was going to receive. Everett is extremely knowledgeable but has no problems communicating when he needs to research something. He is professional but communicates legalese in layman's terms. He is very c...ustomer focused and communicates when he says he will which is very timely. I will hire Everett to complete my taxes this year and probably create various wills and power of attorney for family members. I highly recommend him!

Client-oriented

Everett has a real client-oriented approach to the practice. He gave me prompt and easy-to-understand advice that solved my problem. He is knowledgeable and meets deadlines without fail. I can highly recommend him.
