Dream maker

Mr. Morse exceeds expectations! He cares about his clients and their families to the point that his stance is more for what's right than the profit. He is fair in his pricing and beyond dedicated in fighting for what's right for his client. Mr. Morse comes high recommended as one of the very best who... genuinely cares about his clients. He is knowledgeable, respected in the courtroom, and dedicated. He is truly one of the best! He has given my family, all of our dreams. There is truly no one else you would want on your side. He has a heart of gold and truly cares.

Professional, Knowledgeable, and Tenacious

Getting a divorce is not an easy process, especially when the other party is trying to do everything she can to take advantage of the situation. I met Ken back in 2014 when my wife (now ex-wife) filed for divorce following a short-lived marriage. Ken took the time to discuss the process with me. His ...knowledge of the matter coupled with his ability to explain things in a concise straight-froward manner was definitely a plus and helped calm me down. The divorce process took almost exactly two years (2014-16) during which the other party did everything in her power to present untruthful and bogus claims, and delay the trial that should have been over long time ago. Thanks to Ken's persistence and experience, both trial and appeals courts voted in my favor. During the process, Ken made himself available in multiple occasions to talk to me over the phone and in person, and every time I had a conversation with him, I felt relieved and more confident. I know getting a divorce is not something that a person experiences frequently in his/her life, but if you are going through one, I highly recommend reaching out to Ken and seeking his advice and counsel. He is a man of character, and the best attorney you can have on your side.

AAA+ lawyer, Ken Morse

I am a 56 year old lady, married for 22+ years (2nd marriage for my Ex-husband). A friend recommended Ken, I met with him, and did not hesitate to hire him after the hour consultation. He advised me in a no nonsense manner, and calmed me down, as needed, making the transition more bearable. He too...k the lead when the other side faltered, and helped bring about a resolution and closure much sooner than anticipated. He knows what he is talking about. Thank you, Ken.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

AVVO, I have re-written this too many times to count. Lacking the literary skills of Mark Twain, I wanted to make sure I put nothing aside. But the reality is there aren't enough ways and words to serve Mr. Morse with the credit he is due. I have nothing but praise for Mr. Morse. How do I b...egin to describe an Attorney who is there for ME, a single Dad? You ask for specifics. Well it starts with our first meeting. Mr. Morse shared dialogue. I was not subject to monologue. Mr. Morse referenced current state time sharing positions AND printed the standard parenting plan. While this may seem trivial, I assure you it is not. He educated and enlightened me as to my rights. Mr. Morse listened to my experience of the previous months. His replies were reasonable and informed. My previous attorney never game me the confidence in 9 months that Mr.. Morse give in our first 2 minutes. His strength, knowledge, experience and confidence reminded me I have a voice. He stood beside me EVERY step along this journey. He supported me. Gave me hope. Readily accessible and always on point. His knowledge and experience are obvious. In his years of practice he has certainly mastered many legal skills. Primary to all of those is his ability to be care for a client. He was present at my second mediation. It was great to see Mr. Morse at task. Unceasing and relentless. His attention to detail is shockingly amazing. For every issue he had a solution. Mr. Morse knows law. Mr. Morse practices justice. I do not hesitate, and have already done so, in recommending Mr. Morse. I do want to suggest that your star rating system include a sixth star. That star would be Stellar. That AVVO, is Mr.. Morse resides. I am a single Dad with a toddler. Now I have chance to raise my son with equal rights. THANK YOU Mr.. Morse! MERRY CHRISTMAS

Expertise at it's Finest!

Mr. Morse hit the ground running from the moment my divorce case was in his hands. His knowledge, confidence, and experience were all naturally in accordance when dealing with opposing counsel. For such a trying time in my life, his legal representation provided ease, by keeping me well informed thro...ughout the process. Mr. Morse, I learned quickly, was beyond a skilled lawyer, but a true testament of principle. He was always direct and focused- enabling a successful outcome in the end! I am truly grateful for Mr. Ken Morse and his team!
