I am extremely satisfied with his services!!!

When you need an attorney and there are so many out there, how do you know who to choose from? I reviewed profiles of several attorneys as well as read tons of client reviews. You will find good reviews and bad reviews. Naturally Ken has some negative reviews but who in this world doesn't. If he did...n't have a negative review I would be hesitant to even call his office. In a divorce if you come in with the mindset that you will get everything that you want and that's why you hire an attorney, you are wrong.. It's a compromise and with that compromise you need someone that can GET YOU IN THE BEST POSSIBLE POSITION. You need experience, knowledge, someone with the most up-to-date information on the law, new rules and regulations as they are constantly changing in the legal world. I called Ken's office and schedule an appointment. I had an initial consultation and he told me pretty much what we could and could not do. I hired him months later. Yes, Ken is expensive but I certainly have no regrets on the work he did. He responded to every single email I sent him promptly and sometimes even before 8 a.m. His staff is wonderful to work with too. In times when the frustration kicks in, they are there for you. I am not sure why other clients indicated he doesn't do anything and just take your money. He certainly does his job as described and keeps in constant communication with you. I would recommend Ken to anyone who wants a great lawyer with years of experience, A rated by his peers and with great positive reviews from clients.

Cutting Edge

I was blessed to meet Mr. Ken Morse and have worked closely with him since 2013 when I became embroiled in a bitter and grueling custody and relocation battle. Mr. Morse was definitely a game changer and positively impacted every outcome from the moment he began. Mr. Morse in short is a very talente...d court room litigator. Sound judgement, clearly a strategist with the ability to think out of the box and be creative. Analytical and cutting edge yet has the ability to remain compassionate and understanding of what his clients are going through. Ken and his efficient staff are super supportive and very responsive at all times. With Kens efforts we were able to reach the positive, healing outcome my family needed. Ken Rocks It!

Best Alimony/Divorce Attorney EVER!!!!!

Very knowledgeable! Told us the pros and cons regarding my husband's case with his ex-wife up front. We had tried to fight on our own for almost a year with no result at all and were being bullied by his ex-wife's counsel. After Mr. Morse took over our case, at the first hearing, he convinced the thi...s counsel that it was in her and her client's best interest to dismiss the case in total. Less than a week later, the whole case was dismissed and the pain was all over- ONLY because Mr. Morse is EXPERIENCED, FORCEFUL, and COMPETENT!!!! I am truly thankful and will recommend Ken Morse to everyone:)

Mr. Morse ROCKS!!!

Mr. Morse is a dedicated, compassionate, and driven attorney. He's the one you want on your side when times are tough. He really listens and fights for you and your family, and his extensive experience, knowledge, and network puts you a step ahead right from the start. He and his amazing staff are t...here for you throughout the entire process to explain and handle each and every detail. This level of reliability adds peace of mind and comfort to what is an unbearable situation already. When you are scared or just anxious due to a crisis arising in your life, call upon Mr. Morse for the calm, cool, and collected! Mostly, he's there by your side with ALL the answers and you can COUNT ON HIM!!! I know I did, and could not be more grateful! Thank you Mr. Morse!

Relocating with Child

I was represented by Mr. Kenneth D. Morse, for Relocation with Child. During my first appointment with Mr. Morse he was very understanding regarding my situation. He immediately provided excellent advise and guidance on how I should proceed with my case. A passionate and caring lawyer who was alwa...ys available before and after work hours and even on weekends when I needed his advice. He delivered my case in an organized and professional manner. I'm very thankful to Mr. Morse and his team's effort contributing to my relocation. Without a doubt, I would definitely recommend him to my family and friends!
