The Best Attorney Around

I lost my car but after its been gone for two years with the state trying to seize it , I owe a big huge Thank You to Mr.Bill Morian for getting it back for me. In October 2018, i got pulled over on a regular traffic violation and arrested for suspended driver's license and a possession charge of les...s than 1 gram and my car was seized. In March of 2019 Mr Morian attended court with me and I got 2 years probation for the charge .then a court date for my car was set for a later date,April 1 and of course the coronavirus hits so then no court date. I'm just beside myself. I'm totally thinking I'm never ever gonna get my car back. I've never been in trouble and don't understand the law but you will never have to if you use Mr.Morian. you can just sit back and relax because if it's in his hands, I promise you that you wont have a thing to worry about because he definitely knows what's go in on and he never fails. So here we are in October 2020. I finally get a court date on my car and I'm very very nervous at this point. I'm still thinking there's no way possible I can get my car back after all of this and boy!! Was I ever so wrong!. Mr. Morian met me at the courthouse on that day and we went through our little cost date. I have to add that i left crying , never have gone through anything like that in my life before and he left smiling a big ole smile telling me he thinks we won. Sure enough about a week goes by and the following Sunday i receive a text on my phone and it was the letter from the state but from me.morian which of course i didnt understand if I had won or lost. I'm still ever so nervous. So i give Mr.Morian a call and he was like do you know what that means. Im like well no.he said you won. I'm on my gosh thank you so much. I now have my 2013 charger back and it's all a big thank you to Mr Morian. If it wasn't for him I know for a fact, without a doubt, that I would not have my car back. I trust him 100 percent and i highly recommend him. I think if you need help in any situation, i strongly recommend him. He has been a lifesaver and a worldchanger for me. And without him, my life wouldnt be the same and I do truly mean that. He is an awesome Attorney and a great man.

A great attorney to have in your corner.

I was filing a complex lawsuit but the prices had suddenly stopped without my being consulted. Each time I called expecting progress being made, each time documents had not been filed. I received lame excuses; promises made to get petitions prepared the next day. . . .but never kept. This became a ...pattern for the next six months. And now I have reason my attorney has not been loyal to me. An already complex lawsuit was turning into a legal nightmare. And I had paid a substantial retainer when he agreed to take my case. Panic set in. I really needed to talk to an attorney, an outsider, and someone with the capacity and ability to understand all the complexities of my situation. Someone who would give me guidance. My fear of unknowingly doing something unethical myself was a concern. Mr. Bill Morian came to mind. I had met Mr. Bill Morian several years ago when a friend recommended him to my husband as being the best in Jasper. When we walked into his office and Bill came in to greet us our hearts sank. This man was way too much attorney for our little problem with a local cement contractor. This was a powerhouse attorney who was living in a small town. If you were in serious trouble, he would have all the skills and traits you would need in an attorney. But he immediately put us at ease. He was interested. We talked. He listened for an hour and a half before he agreed to help us. He immediately got involved and started the ball rolling. But as it turned out, special circumstance prevailed and we settled out of court. But this current case was not Bills since I lived so far away from his Practice. But I called him and he returned my call in matter of minutes. He asked how he could help me. Same as before, I talked; he listened and begin peppering me with questions, lots of questions and best of all he got it! He grasped it all! He answered my questions and gave me the guidance and legal advice I was seeking. He spoke with me an hour and fifteen minutes bur refused to charge me.

In SERIOUS need of criminal defense. Take a moment and read about my experience with Attorney at Law William “Bill” Morian

Recently, I was arrested and booked on a 1st Degree felony in Texas. During a short incarceration, another inmate listened to my situation, and gave me a bottle of water with William “Bill” Morians name on it. My fellow inmate told me that I’d be alright if I hired Bill as my criminal defense attorn...ey. At that time, I was so mentally frustrated and stressed about the whole situation. I’m a middle aged guy that’s never been in trouble in my life. So for the first time in my life, I found myself on the wrong side of the bars ( a jail cell) Also, I was having an issue with my bond. So I became well acquainted w/ my cell, and well acquainted with a level of stress that I’ve never felt in my entire existence. In the midst of complete mental overload, stress, and anxiety, I was truly blessed have been able to hire Bill Morian as my attorney. Bill and his team immediately got on my case, resolved my bond issue, and got my butt out of jail. The day after I got out of jail, I met Bill and his staff at his office in Jasper Texas. Bill and his team immediately gave me the relief that I was looking for when he reviewed my case with me, devised a plan, and assured me that everything was going to be ok. Bill gave me a hope that I needed and sent me on my way. I returned to work and resumed my normal life. As I was focused on my family and work, Bill and his team maintained contact with the right people, the right offices, and he executed the plan that he said he would. My charges were eventually dropped and my case was dismissed. I went from being charged with a crime that carried a prison sentence of 5 to 99 years upon a conviction,,,, to the charges being dropped. If y’all are looking for hope in Texas. Know that the system of justice in America stands firm in the midst of these troubling times. With the help of Due Process and Bill Morian as my attorney; I got my life back. Bill and his team, took care of me and kept me posted throughout my one and only experience in the criminal justice system. Their knowledge, expertise, and professionalism across the board, got me through the toughest experience of my life. If you’re in need of defense and hope in Texas. Go meet with Bill and his team.

Thankful his firm works near me.

My father was hit from behind while driving, which killed him after 2 weeks of suffering. My family hired Mr. Morian and Joe Gleen Kayla to get answers for us and to handle my dads estate. The time the two of them put into the case is unreal. They met us around our schedule, weekends, nights, wha...tever was needed. Mr. Morian even came to the hospital when my dad was sick. My family has used these two several times in the past (nothing as major as this). While representing us, he was very protective of our feelings and let the other party know that we were like his family. Their office staff is amazing. We all work full time and his assistant (Tish) gave me her personal cell number so I could text her with questions ( and believe me I did). The investigating he did was above and beyond. Mr. Morian and Joe Gleen both have such a great disposition about them and seem like they take your case personal. Although nothing can get our dad back, we can rest easy with the answers we got and defending his name. I think we could have searched all over and not found a team as good as this one. Thank you, Mr. Morain and Mr. Kayla and staff. Love, the Cates family

Great lawyer!

I chose Mr. Morian to represent me in a felony drug possession case, and he was extremely professional and did everything in his power to make sure I got into a Pre-Trial diversion program that ultimately got my charges expunged. He is very reliable, and either he or his paralegal were always availab...le to answer any questions I had along the way. If I ever need legal services again, he will be the first person I call!
