also known as Dana Morris
I am an experienced Panama City, Florida criminal defense attorney dedicated to protecting the rights, freedom, and futures of individuals facing serious criminal charges in Bay County and throughout Northwest Florida. At The Morris Law Firm, I focus almost exclusively on criminal defense. I understand that an arrest can be overwhelming, and I work closely with each client to develop a clear strategy and a strong defense from day one.
My practice includes defending clients charged with DUI, drug offenses, violent crimes, theft and fraud offenses, domestic violence, probation violations, and other criminal matters. I approach every case with careful preparation, aggressive advocacy, and a deep understanding of Florida criminal law and local court procedures. Whether negotiating with prosecutors or fighting for my clients in court, my goal is always the same: to achieve the best possible outcome under the circumstances.
As a criminal defense lawyer in Panama City, FL, I believe clients deserve honest answers, direct communication, and a defense attorney who treats their case with urgency and respect. I take the time to explain the legal process, outline realistic expectations, and make sure my clients understand their options at every stage of their case. If you are facing criminal charges in Panama City or the surrounding areas, I am committed to standing between you and the full force of the criminal justice system.
