This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

I actual trust him..

It is tough to find an attorney you can trust. As my insurance company seemed to be getting shady I contacted Mr Morse on a recommendation. So far, I'm glad I did. He is frequently available himself and seems to truly care.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

watch him work

I was severely injured in a auto accident . It took 4 years and several operations and many hours of rehab to get me walking again. Stan knew the best Doctors and rehab specialist in the Tampa bay area, When it was all finished I was told that the opposing party settled out of court at the highest se...ttlement ever for my type of injury in the state of Florida. He was with me every step of the way and visited me in the hosptial on my 4th or 5th operation. I can't say enough about Stan and his staff, even after my case was closed I can still call him and talk...Thank you for everything

Client Review

Unfortuantely, due to negligence of others I have needed an attorney twice, fortunately for me I found Stan Morse. I highly recommend Stan Morse and his excellent staff. They are qualified, professional, trustworthy, organized and easy to work with. Stan is agressive when needed and gets the job d...one well. I would use him again if the opportunity presented itself.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
