Very Knowledgeable and Helpful

Attorney Morse was fantastic! He assisted me in my child custody/ child support case. He is very knowledgeable and tells you straight answers. Whenever I had any questions, he was very responsive and helped me to understand the law. Attorney Morse fought for me and my son every step of the way and w...e did not have to go to trial!!

With you every step of the way!!!

Ken D. Morse is the type of attorney one can count on! His intentions, decisions and actions are always to serve the client with an outcome that leaves one feeling spoken for, defended and truly represented. Is that not why a person seeks legal counsel? At every step, he is there for his client. You ...hire him and you deal directly with him! Always returns calls, emails and even text messages! Sadly, there are not many attorneys fighting for father's rights. If you are looking for a strong, honest, knowledgeable, experienced attorney to represent you in court, KEN IS YOUR DETERMINED TIGER! If you are a FATHER and the courts tend to disregard your rights, I strongly recommend you review your case with Ken D. Morse! We all have to make a living but find someone that is in their profession not just for the money. It's clear Ken is an attorney that has morals and is not practicing law just to make money. Selecting an attorney is never an easy task and placing your hard earned money in the hands of an attorney is even more difficult! Do your research, read the reviews, meet with the attorney if at all possible,..........if you are on the hunt for a HONEST, TACTFUL, PRECISE, EXPERIENCED, FIGHTER IN THE COURT ROOM, I suggest you meet with Ken D. Morse. He will represent any mother and/or father that needs their rights heard.

On Point Professional and Passionate.

Any lawyer that gets to work when the sunrises and meets you on time is always a good sign of professionalism. Ken took my request for a consultation right away as I knew I had limited time in a paternity dispute and out of state relocation of my 20 month son which was taken behind my back by fiancé ...at 16 months. Ken laid out my options and I was very confident with the direction we were going to take. He has a great wealth of knowledge and know how. His staff is very friendly, professional, and talented. At one point I had to get an out of state attorney. Ken found the BEST out of state trial attorney to fit my needs at a very fair price during the Christmas New Years holiday! Both Ken and the attorneys he found me out of state we’re very warm, caring, sincere, and yet also stern with our opposing attorneys. I was very blessed and lucky to have had the two separate best attorneys. It was the holidays and these attorneys were always there for me and I can’t say enough how they showed patience and did everything in a timely professional manner. All in all I won my case that most people said I never would. I thank god, my family, Ken his staff, and my Arkansas attorneys Ken found for helping me and my family to get my son back. I know have 50/50 time sharing and can he can never be taken again. When you’re in need I promise he’s worth every penny, he won’t waste it. He’ll grab the bull by the horns and won’t let go until the jobs done. Thank you Ken I hope I never have to use you again, but if I do, no doubt I’ll be calling you.

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

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!
