Client review for Jim Morrison

I work with insurance, long term care planning and retirement planning. It was very important for me to take my clients to an attorney that is knowledgeable and appreciates the use of life insurance within an estate plan. Jim possesses these skills and also has the ability to make my clients comfor...table because of his likable demeanor. Jim has been an integral part of my practice for over 30 years and my clients and myself have benefited greatly from this relationship!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"James Morrison is a very competent attorney who I have known for over 20 years. He is professional, ethical and has always been civil in my dealings with him. We have worked on opposite sides of various matters, and worked cooperatively on other matters. His dealings with me have always been professional. I have always been able to trust James and his word is his bond. I have recommended him to other clients for specialized legal services, and I would not hesitate to recommend James to other prospective clients in the future. He is a good, decent person. He is a good family man and honestly cares about his legal community and the community in general."

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.
