"Chip and the staff at the Morrison Law Group are attentive, knowledgeable, and competent. When one of our clients with mineral rights in Louisiana needed help, I did not hesitate to refer our client to Chip and his office. Chip helped our client navigate the complexities of protecting and transferring mineral rights so we benefited immensely from his knowledge and experience. I'd trust Chip with my own estate plan, so I recommend him highly."

  • 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.
