Billy wins!

Billy represented me for a 3rd degree felony retaliation charge and stood up for me the entire time refusing to back down. It was my first time being involved in the criminal justice system. Billy thoroughly analyzed my case and had my back until he was able to get the charges dismissed. Justice pre...vailed and I can finally get a job!

Turned My Case Into Deferred Probation With a Chance to End Early

I was charged with evading in a vehicle and Mr. Morian was appointed to my case. He explained everything clearly and made the whole process a lot less stressful. He was able to get me a 6-month deferred probation, and if I complete everything early, it can end in 3 months. I didn’t lose my license or... have anything worse happen, and I’m really grateful for how he handled my case.

Excellent outcome

Mr. Morian was appointed to represent me on a felony burglary of a building charge. He handled my case with professionalism and made sure I understood each step. Because of his work, I was given deferred probation, and once I complete it, the case will be dismissed. I truly appreciate the time and ef...fort he put into my case and would recommend him to anyone needing strong legal representation.

Felony Dropped Down to a Misdemeanor

Billy was appointed to my case and did a great job. I was originally charged with a felony fraud case, but he got it reduced to a misdemeanor. He explained everything clearly and worked hard on my case. I’m relieved with the outcome.

Professional, Understanding, and gets You the Best out Come possible!

This morning William Stafford Morian III represented my daughter on a drug case. For the past 2 weeks he has called and spoke with my daughter on many occasions to help understand how she seen what happened, her information, giving her different outcomes! The in was in touch with DA to agree on a ...deal! My daughter is not easy to deal with when she feels scared. Asking 1010 questions and Mr. Morian had so much patience, understanding, and comforting her. He is down to earth, BUT GETS THE JOB DONE!!! My daughter looking at 2 years state jail, and he got her 2 yrs probation, and if she does everything required she would be off in 1yr. I was very appreciative of Mr. Morian he the way he handle everything! He did an extraordinary JOB for us!!! I would hire him again in a Heart Beat

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I am writing to offer my wholehearted endorsement of Attorney William "Billy" Morian. As a former Assistant District Attorney and Felony Prosecutor for Harris County, I had the distinct pleasure of working alongside Billy from the beginning of his career in misdemeanor court through to his work in felony cases. Billy consistently demonstrated an exceptional level of dedication, skill, and professionalism. We handled a wide variety of cases together, and I was continually impressed by his abilities. He was truly an invaluable ally in the courtroom. Billy has a kind yet determined spirit, which sets him apart in the legal profession. His approachable and personable nature makes him easy to work with and fosters positive relationships with colleagues, clients, and even opposing counsel. Despite his kind demeanor, Billy is resolute and tenacious in his pursuit of justice, never backing down from a challenge and always advocating fiercely for his clients."
