The Best
I was referred to Keith Morris after dealing with several different law firms over a three year period. Mr. Morris got the job done within a month what the other law firms could not handle. He is the best he will do what needs to be done and he will get everything handled a true professional and someone that is on your side. I can’t say enough to what a great attorney Keith Morris is.

Game changer!
Keith was a game-changer for our mediation. My wife was selling her share in a law firm to her partners. There was a very large gap in what the parties thought her share was worth. This led us to mediation. After several hours of patient back-and-forth which produced no fruit, Keith stepped up and in. He respectfully asked us if he could speak directly with the mediator. And directly speak he did. He very clearly, very powerfully, very succinctly communicated that the partners needed to bring a reasonable offer to the table or mediation was over.. The mediator passed Keith's message along. When he returned the first question he brought back was whether we were willing to share our attorney's name. We very happily obliged. That changed the game immediately and radically. By the time the dust settled we received well over three times their initial offer! Keith was available to us all day - literally all day - via Zoom, even though he was in Houston visiting his kids. You couldn't have a better advocate in your corner. Our only regret is this won't allow more than a five-star rating.

Amazing Attorney!
Keith and all the staff at the Blum Firm were absolutely amazing! In what was a very hard time for our family, they made it a little less painful and encouraged us when we needed it the most. Keith will be up front and honest about your case, only taking you as far as he feels will be beneneficial for YOU. Caroline was an absolute pleasure and was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. We feel very fortunate to have found them and to have had such great representation. I highly recommend them if you want people that will go above and beyond for you!

Dedicated & Compassionate
Beyond thankful for Keith Morris and his great team! Keith successfully represented me during one of the most challenging times in my life. Through his gracious compassion, prompt and open communication, patience and professionalism, he respectfully made an already emotional journey feel manageable, and exceeded expectations in the outcome. Keith’s dedication and extensive knowledge of the law, and its application proved confidence and provided reassurance in our complex situation. I am undeniably grateful for Keith Morris’s effort, tireless commitment and goal focused work ethic that undoubtably lead to the success in our case!

Amazing job
Keith took this contested probate case and did his homework. Within a six month period my brother and I walked away with six figure settlement. Keith proved he could find the truth and resolve the probate during depositions even without all the needed paperwork from deceased. I’m truly amazed and grateful for all you have done!

Contesting A Will
Keith contested a probated will and was able to get outstanding results. Keith was professional, up front and kept to the task to get the wanted results. I would use him again without a doubt.

You want this guy in your corner!
Keith and team were exceptional throughout our process of contesting a will. With their guidance, we reached a speedy and solid settlement. They made the entire process as painless as possible and were fun to work with. He's a heavy hitter and we loved having him at our side.

super person
The legal world is so stressful. Littered with awful people who are out for themselves and their bank account. I was in distress and looking for a person who would help me. Keith picked up the phone while he was moving from his home. We all know how much fun moving houses is. He spoke with me, calmed me down, told me he would help and he did. He researched my problem, consulted another expert just for a second opinion, and responded to me with the answers I needed. He is a SUPER PERSON. Thank you, Keith, I truly appreciate you.

Amazing Attorney - Litigation Matter
Keith is one of the finest and technically proficient lawyers I have ever met. He represented me in a defamation case and successfully settled the case in my favor. He is aggressive in court room while remaining respectful and compassionate to other lawyers and his clients. I highly recommend him for your litigation matters.

Texas Guardianship Case 2016
Keith Morris is most technically proficient attorney, in Texas Law, that I know. I have testified in hundreds of criminal cases as an Investigator for the State of Texas and as an expert witness. Keith would be the one attorney I hope I never set on the opposite side of the table against. Keith handled our case with both dignity and professionalism that is always needed in a disputed guardianship case. Keith was the one who made it all work in the end. My family was very fortunate to have Keith represent us.

Exceptional Representation
Mr. Morris and Mrs. Jenkins represented me in a complicated and nasty probate matter. Both were OUTSTANDING! Compassionate, no-nonsense, and fair. I am a paralegal and must say that Mr. Morris and Mrs. Jenkins are in the top .5 of the 1% of excellent lawyers.

Keith Was Easy to Reach
Keith was easy to reach and had a lot of knowledge about estate planning. He helped me and my family with our wills and helped set up trusts for my kids. Made everything very easy.

I can not thank Mr. Morris enough for the hard work
I can not thank Mr. Morris enough for the hard work he put in to my very complicated trust litigation. He will go above and beyond to make sure his clients are taken care of while still staying inside of the law.

I Was Happy With The Outcome of My Case
I could not have asked for better representation than Keith. He is very professional, priced fairly for the services he offers and is clearly an expert in estate law. I was happy with the outcome of my case.
Posted by Jeremy | December 5, 2014
Will use again.
Keith Morris helped me with guardianship issues for my mother. She was from out of state and moved here so we had to quickly get things transferred. Keith was very professional helped explain my options. I was dealing with transferring many other things on her behalf and the legal side of things completely overwhelmed me when I tried to learn about it on my own. Keith was a real time saver and stress reducer for me!

Knowledgeable and Carries Through with What He Says
I hired JMK for legal services relative to litigation contesting my father's will. Keith proved to have just the level of aggressiveness I was looking for in a lawyer. He is very knowledgeable and carries through with what he says he will do in a timely manner. I would recommend Keith highly.
