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!!

Perfect

Going through a divorce with children involved is so hard. Mr. Morse and his paralegal Kristy, couldn’t have been more supportive and professional. They both walked me through every step of the way while reassuring me it would all be okay. Mr. Morse is a very no nonsense lawyer which is EXACTLY wh...o you’d want representing you. He’s very professional, very respectful and extremely efficient in responding to any questions you may have at any time. Mr. Morse has been representing clients for a long time. It’s very apparent how dedicated he is to his clients and how important it is to deliver the very best outcome for your family. I couldn’t have asked for better representation than what I received. I’m thankful and very grateful to Mr. Morse and his paralegal Kristy. They made a very sad situation much easier to navigate!

Amazing, aggressive and efficient

Kenneth did an amazing job with my divorce case. He was appropriately aggressive and on top of everything. The turn around time for motions & responses was above and beyond. I would definitely recommend him and his office to anyone dealing with a high conflict case

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.

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.
