I am a resident of Tuscaloosa, Alabama. I have lived here since 1982 when I first came from my hometown of Red Bay, Alabama, at the age of 18 to attend the University of Alabama. I grew up on a farm where my father worked the fields and my mother worked alongside him. Sweat and dirt are familiar to me and I appreciate the hard working client's that put their trust in me along with their hard earned money. After obtaining my accounting and law degrees from the University of Alabama, I began a general practice of law in Tuscaloosa where I have continued to maintain a sole practice for the last 28 years. I am experienced in a variety of cases. My primary focus has been personal injury of all types. I'm one of the few lawyers who will prosecute legal malpractice claims against other lawyers. My other focus is criminal law where I have tried many jury cases for DUI, drugs, and violent criminal offenses. Contested divorce matters and child custody litigation is also very familiar legal territory for me. Basically, if you need a trial lawyer (someone who stands up in front of a jury or judge and advocates for you) for a legal matter I'm the guy you want.
I have great interest in science, nature and the enviroment. I've traveled the world and I value the experience of travel in relating to people of different beliefs, interests, and backgrounds. I enjoy photography and technology. I have a great love of the ocean and using my skill in photography and technology to capture and share the unique places and creatures of the sea I encounter. Scuba diving has been a part of my life since I was 18 and I relish the serenity and joy it brings me when I'm under the waves and exploring a beautiful reef or watching a giant shark move about the ocean. I love animals and especially the unique and endangered creatures of our world. I enjoy the technology of drones and photography with drones. I have climbed volcanos, swam with Great White Sharks, walked with Komodo Dragons and wandered to the remotest of places in this world. There are few things about a courtroom that could possibly intimidate me.
I am not a conventional lawyer, but, I am straight forward & honest about a situation, and if I represent you, determined to get you the best possible result in your legal case.

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.

Excellence in Profession
I have been involved in an extremely difficult divorce since 2006 that continues to be difficult. I have had two attorneys, Mark being the second, that have served me very well in assisting me in obtaining my goals and help protect my son from dangerous situations. Mark has proven, in extremely diff...
Thank you Justin for your review. I know Divorce and child custody matters are the most emotional types of cases and for that reason its the most difficult area of law I practice. It is a credit to yourself that you listened to my advice and stuck with the strategy that we formulated for protecting your child's best interests. I'm always pleased when the outcome for a client is positive after months of anxiety and worry.
"Mark Morrow is an advocate for his clients. He is knowledgeable of the law and provides zealous representation for his clients. I have known Mark for many years and recommend him for a variety of legal services."
"Mark is an excellent example of what lawyers should be. He is available to his clients; he answers their questions and addresses all their concerns; and he treats them with respect and dignity. Once he takes your case, he is fully committed to obtaining the best possible outcome. His fees are reasonable, and in fact, they are lower than lawyers with his experience usually charge. If you have a personal injury claim, a criminal case, or a family matter, call him."

Won one, lost one. Client served minimal jail time after looking at a minimum mandatory 10 year sentence with no probation or parole.
