Calm, no nonsense, expert legal advise

Mark handled a very stressful civil case for us. It was a very scary situation, and we were emotionally and mentally fatigued when he stepped in to advise and represent us. His calm, no-nonsense demeanor was exactly what we needed. He thoroughly explained our legal rights and walked us through the ...whole process, preparing us for the case as well as giving us good counsel for handling additional issues that may arise in the future. We can’t thank him enough for his kindness, his knowledge and his expertise.

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.

Divorce Representation

Attorney Mark Morrow is a fair priced attorney who provided thorough representation during my divorce case. All too often, the client's emotions affect his/her way of reasoning, however, Mark kept me focused and demonstrated patience. At each step of the process, Mark routinely explained the law in... detail, listened to my opinion, expressed his opinion, and ultimately allowed me to make my on decisions after pointing out the pros and cons. As my case developed, he kept me informed through phone calls and emails. He is a very driven person and is willing to put forth the extra effort. I highly recommend the talents of Mark Morrow for legal representation.

Thank you for your support Burt. I know it was a hard two years of litigation and stress. I'm happy that in the end, the results were close to your original expectations in moving on with your life. You are to be commended for your resolve and I appreciate the trust you placed in my opinions during a very difficult time.

Last Will, Power of Attorney and Living Will

Mr. Morrow did an excellent job when my mother needed her Last Will and Testament updated. She also wanted to assign a Power of Attorney and complete a Living Will. My mother is 90 years old, and Mr. Morrow was kind and attentive. He listened to precisely what my mother wanted in her Will, as well as... the other documents. When he returned with the legal documents, he sat patiently and explained each and every clause to her, making sure that she understood any special legal terms. My mother commented that Mr. Morrow was respectful, intelligent, and caring. She and I both highly recommend Mark Morrow to you when you need a Will, Power of Attorney, Living Will or other estate-related documents.
