Exceptional service and quick resolution to our problem!

We had an uninsured motorist wreck in our yard and drive through our fence, tearing up our yard, fence and personal property. After trying to get resolution to this matter on our own and the driver giving us the run around to avoid paying, we turned to Mark Morrow for help. He knew exactly what to do... to get very quick resolution. He had this resolved within 2 weeks and with the driver contacting him to hand deliver the check for our damages. Mark Morrow provides professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable service as well as getting results quickly. The best words to describe Mark Morrow’s attorney skill set is EXCEPTIONAL!

Saved my career before it even took off.

Mark saved my career before it even got started. At the time I hired Mark to repsent me, I was a college student in nursing school. Just like any normal college student I got a job to help pay the bills. I chose to become a bartender. It was a great environment to get a nice break from a stressful on...e. Unfortunately one night working a security guard accidentally allowed a minor into the bar and I happened to be the unlucky bartender that served him. Due to the law an Alabama, the bartender and bar are found at fault for serving a minor (regardless if the minor is mismarked or allowed in by the security team that is hired to check ID's). I found myself in a very tough spot. I had a charge on my record for serving a minor while in a very prestigious nursing program. As you can imagine, nursing students are held to high standards and being professional is one of them. So you can imagine how it made me look when my charge came up on a background check... not good. I was then told by the school that I would more than likely be put on probation coming out of school due to the charge. This charge not only effected me mentally and emotionally, it was going to affect my nursing career. A career that I already worked so hard for. That is when I decieded to hire Mark Morrow to help me resolve this issue. He did a wonderful job. Mark worked deligently and persistently to help me get the best result. After countless amount of months, weeks, days, hours and several court hearings, Mark was able to get my case thrown out. My career is no longer in jeporady. I am able to graduate from school without having to fear any probation or after effects that could negatively impact my job. I couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome of this case. I strongly recommend Mark Morrow. You won't be disappointed with his services. He is someone I know I can always count on.

Dismissed & Expunged DUI

Mark handled my case flawlessly which involved being accused of DUI. A DUI can severely damage a young persons reputation and hinder them from future employment. I heard about Mark via word of mouth and I am sure glad I did. Mark was able to get my case dismissed via pre-trial diversion. He was also ...able to get my arrest and court records expunged because just being accused of a DUI seems bad in employers eyes this day and time. I would highly recommend Mark due to his ability to get things done effectively and efficiently with favorable results.
