Such a great lawyer to work with

So, I’m one of those people who went to Legal Zoom, thinking that I could draft my documents myself, with a little help from them. If I can give you one piece of advice, learn from my mistakes!!! Do not ever think that you can do your own legal work online, without actually meeting with an attorney. ...I brought my mess into their office and they reviewed what I had done, made some suggestions for how to fix the documents and quoted me what I felt like was a reasonable retainer. It turned out being a little bit more work than we originally thought, which was all spelled out in their retainer agreement, so there were no surprises when they asked for additional money. I think some people expect lawyers to work for free, which makes no sense. They are worth every single penny, and I’d refer them to anyone looking for a great lawyer. They have a wonderful, friendly, and helpful staff and I’m actually sad I don’t get to visit with them any more now that they fixed my error.

A Very Professional Lawyer

"When my life started to feel like it was falling apart, Attorney Morgan and her team were referred to me by a close family friend who had used her for his divorce. After speaking with him I looked her up and made an appointment. I was feeling a bit hesitant, but after meeting with her personally, sh...e helped put to rest the hesitation I was feeling. Attorney Morgan really wanted me to be sure that a divorce was the right step for me, and as it turns out, I just needed to get some perspective. My husband and I are doing great now, and it’s all thanks to the kind and caring consultation with Attorney Morgan! As luck would have it, her firm also handles Estate Planning, which is the service we ended up needing. We had a trust drawn up along with a will that covers guardianship for our two young kids and the cost was much less than I expected. If ever I should need an attorney again, I will definitely call Ms. Morgan and I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a great attorney!"

Recommended

I've used Attorney Morgan as my attorney since 2001 and she has been very helpful in my various court matters, most recently she and her firm helped me with a cohabitation agreement. She represents my interests and is reasonably priced considering the quality of her work. Often times attorneys are so... expensive that it's hard to hire an affordable one and still get quality care. I for one do not have deep pockets. I've recommended Attorney Morgan to a number of friends, including fathers who may need someone to stand up for their rights.

Excellent Attorney

I highly recommend Attorney Morgan. She handled a legal matter for me for much less than I expected to pay.

A great experience with a great law firm!

My husband and I were referred by a friend who used Ms. Morgan in her divorce and was very happy with her zealous representation. However, my husband and I came to Ms. Morgan to draft our family trust. Ms. Morgan and her team have a great attention to detail and offer clients advice in plain language..., which we really appreciated. We also appreciated that their services were quite affordable!! We would not hesitate to use their services in the future and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of an attentive attorney.
