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 without 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 customer 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!

Put us at ease
Everett recently helped my wife and I set up a will and trust for our new son. My wife and I tend to be intimidated and overwhelmed by legalese and formal documents in general, but Everett was able to help us understand the key points. Everett tailored the documents to our current situation and explained when and how we might need to change things. We are very glad we sought counsel from Everett Morris IV.

Highly recommend!!
My husband and I contacted Everett for guidance and assistance when I was pregnant with our first child. We had no idea what kind of help we needed or how to plan for our new addition. Everett was extremely helpful and explained things in a way we could understand. My husband and I both felt comfortable talking to Everett, which is huge because typically when I've consulted with people for legal guidance they've been condescending. Everett was the complete opposite! He provided excellent service and we highly recommend him!!!

Knowledgeable and Thorough
Everett helped me set up an LLC and I was very pleased with his service. During my initial phone conversation he asked me a lot of questions about my plans and helped me understand my options. He was very helpful answering all my questions. The whole process was quick and easy.

Atlanta's Best Lawyer
Mr. Everett Morris is really a pleasure to have on our side. He treats you like family and willing to go that extra mile. Look no further for your next legal advisor!

Competent attorney with a friendly personality and a client focus
Mr. Morris prepared trust and other estate planning and end of life documents for us. He worked very closely with our financial advisors and was very considerate of our personal values and desires. He made several visits to our home to complete the process even though we live a considerable distance from his office. He originally quoted one fee and billed us that amount when his work was completed.
