My experience includes involvement in the largest chapter 11 busiess reorganizations, and the Detroit chapter 9 case, to the representation of average consumer debtors. Much of my firm's work is for clients who are in the middle, such as owners of small to medium-sized businesses. I have represented chapter 7 trustees through my entire career as well as secured creditors and financial institutions, and we have a number of long-term clients for whom we function as general counsel. My firm handles bankruptcy litigation and general commercial litigation, real estate and general business matters. My partner, Geoff Silverman, has practiced for over 35 years and I have practiced over 30 years. Clients benefit from this broad experience.

"It is without hesitation that I endorse Tom. He is technically skilled in and out of the court room, while mastering the substantive law of bankruptcy. Tom's attention to detail is keen and his insight is invaluable. I have and will continue to recommend bankruptcy clients to Tom."
"I endorse this lawyer. Tom and I have worked together and on opposite sides in a number of matters. He is among the most knowledgable, conscientious, and pragmatic attorneys I have dealt with or observed in the field of bankruptcy law, and I have the utmost confidence and comfort level in referring clients or questions to him for assistance in bankruptcy and related areas of the law."
"I endorse this lawyer. I worked with Mr. Morris on a bankruptcy matter where he was representing the husband and I represented the wife. I found him to be knowledgeable and responsive. I would recommend Mr. Morris to clients who may need bankruptcy expertise."
"Attorney Morris exemplifies the professionalism, confidence, knowledge and skill to which we all should aspire. Dedication and a love of the law means helping others solve problems. Our collective wisdom and desire to counsel people is evident by participation in this forum. The combined experience of attorneys activity participating in this forum represent some of the best in our profession. Attorney Morris' experience, skill and knowledge demonstrate a desire to provide appropriate information as seen from our perspective. All attorneys want to provide the best information we can. Most telling is that Attorney Morris provides valuable information concerning legal issues and also fulfills the counselor’s role as the facts warrant. Collectively we provide multiple opinions, which provide an excellent starting point for those who inquire of us and our efforts tend to demystify the legal process for the uninitiated. I endorse and recommend this Attorney without hesitation."
