Deceptive. Helped "Adoptive" Couple STEAL a child

I am not surprised at all by the other review about EDITH MORRIS. She came "recommended" but the person who recommended her didn't know her. Edith spoke to me a few times BEFORE an "adoption," and knew I was under duress and being coerced, which are grounds for an adoption to not go through. Under... both of those, I went through with it under FALSE promises in writing from Edith Morris from the Adoptive Couple. Edith Morris never spoke to me again. The adoptive couple lied in their agreement and did not follow through on what they promised - ever - not even in the first year. Our family called right away and we were left on hold indefinitely, and hung up on, and screamed at by the others in the office of Edith Morris. Edith Morris helped the baby thieves steal my child. Edith Morris is ruthless, and she does not care about Mothers. She also does NOT care about children. Anyone who cared about children would not steal the children under the guise of "ADOPTION."

Stay Away From Her

I did report her to the Louisiana Attorney Disciplinary Board for Misconduct. My life is a complete mess because she gave me very bad advice and then participated in assisting my ex- husband to put me in a huge mess. I have not seen my kids in 4 years partly because of her pathetic "representation"... and very bad legal advice.

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.
