Home Purchase

Cheryl really was a fantastic lawyer, helping us out of a bad situation with a house. Without her expertise we would have purchased a house with an underground gasoline storage tank. She informed us immediately of the issue, postponed the closing until further details could be received, and researc...hed everything for us. Thanks to her we did not purchase the house that could have cost us a large sum of money to correct or could have caused us health issues down the road. We appreciate everything she did and would use her again if needed or recommend her highly to others.

Trustworthy intelligent professional

Cheryl is intelligent, effective, and a practical attorney with an uncompromised sense of integrity. She is an ethical lawyer that really knows what she’s doing. Mrs. Morison was very respectful, always timely retuned my calls, emails, and explained every step of the process in our real state purcha...se. Not only did she explain my current legal options in plain terms, but was also kind enough to point legal considerations that might occur years down the line. This is truly a very talented attorney that is honest and hardworking. It is clear that Mrs. Morison has her client’s best interest in mind. I highly recommend her to anyone with real estate or business questions. Cheryl is an incredibly effective attorney.

Cheryl was fantastic! She was extremely helpful when I bough my house. She knew the questions ask and what info I needed to be an informed consumer and therefore a happy homeowner. I would recommend her to anyone in my situation or requiring general legal expertise. She made everything easy and pleas...ant.

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.
