This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Nonresponsive, informed me 4 months later that he/Morgan & Morgan would not take my case

A paralegal (S. M.) working w. Mr. Winfrey asked me to send her my numerous documents & recordings to review for an employment issue - she strung me along for 4 months before sending me a letter 4 days before my first meeting w. the EEOC & Defendant that they were not taking my case. This may constit...ute malpractice & is the worst responsive I have ever received. Reputable attorneys respond within 1-2 days or a week whether they will take a case. In the declination letter (copied Mr. Winfrey) the paralegal made a bold untrue statement: "after a thorough review of your case...." They did not conduct any, let alone a thorough review that they purported to have condcuted - I verified this because I sent my docs. via Dropbox which sends a notice when my files have been accessed. Shame on you for costing me nearly $100,000 in severance and leaving me in a lurch w. no time to search find a lawyer. I will seek the lost funds from Morgan & Morgan. This has caused great distress and financial hardship to me at a time when I cannot recover. I also left voicemails for Mr. Winfrey and he never returned any of them, also, poor practice. For the largest purported firm (M&M), do they not have other paralegals to respond.

Best lawyer I’ve ever dealt with. Handled a serious sexual harassment case and got big time results. Thank you so much. Very responsive and caring. Great staff.

Great work. Honestly, best lawyer I've ever run into. Ran into him socially and he took time to meet with me in his office and signed me up. Wrapped up the case quickly and cost effectively.

Greatest Lawyer in TN

He spent 3 years in a hard fought case, and ultimately we prevailed and won big. I am so happy. Things got bleak for a while, because the Court process was so long. But he kept his head down and kept working.

Did not return calls

Initially, Brian called back right away but after I sent him my information he then became difficult to get in touch with and did not return my call. If he didn't want to take my case, he should have called me back to tell me. I think that says a lot about the attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
