Posted by Joy | December 28, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Custody

My husband and I hired Kerry for a custody issue with my stepchildren. She heard everything we had to say and talked over what we needed to do on our end. She was able to get us full custody with a visitation schedule for the kids bio mom. Because of Kerry we were able to provide a safe environment a...nd gain a beautiful co-parent relationship. We would not have this relationship if not for Kerry. Custody battles are hard and we had lots of questions all of which Kerry answered quickly and efficiently. She handled our case as if it were her own children. We appreciate her kindness and wisdom beyond words! I will always refer Kerry to anyone needing custody services! We are highly satisfied!

Fantastic Attorney

Kerry has been a God sent to our family. She helps us obtain joint custody a couple of years ago of our son and since has continued to be there for us everytime a problem occurs. We recently needed her again and again she came to our aide and helped us fight. We will never stop being greatful for her.... She is a fantastic Attorney and the three times we've needed her in the past 4 years she's won our case everytime! There aren't many attorneys that you will find that will work harder and she believes in fathers too and equality in a mother and fathers parenting time and abilities and that's a wonderful quality.

Very unhappy

She never represented me. She took my money and did not show up for court.

I am sorry that this former client feels this way. I did every thing I could to help her on the four matters she ended up having even though I was only retained for one.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have worked with Kerry Morris where she was opposing counsel in various cases for over ten years. I have dealt with her when I was an attorney for social services and also in my private cases. Kerry is always a zealous advocate for her client regardless of their financial means. She has a very practical approach in dealing with cases. She brings a high level of professionalism in dealing with opposing counsels. Kerry is tough and I don't always like her toughness but she's fair and honest. I highly recommend her services."
