Great Defense Lawyer

Billy was very knowledgeable and explained every step to us throughout the whole legal process. He is very professional and accessible whenever he is needed.

Thanks Billy

I was charged with Evading Arrest with a motor vehicle, and on my second court setting, Billy was able to get my charged reduced to a misdemeanor. The first time I saw Billy and his nice suit, I knew he would be able to help me out.

Deferred & Dismissed

Billy Morian did an excellent job handling my case. I was facing very serious charges and was extremely stressed about my future. Billy was clear, honest, and supportive throughout the entire process. He was able to get one charge dismissed and secured a deferred probation on the remaining charge wit...h the possibility of early termination. Once probation is completed, the case will be dismissed. I’m very grateful for his hard work and highly recommend him to anyone needing a strong criminal defense attorney.

Thank You

Billy is an excellent attorney and good person. I was charged with Assault Family member and injury to an elderly, which are both felonies, and I was looking at up to 20 years in prison. Because of Billy, I was able to plead to a time served on a misdemeanor because Billy got it reduced, and he got t...he other case dismissed. I am so grateful to him and all of his hard work. Billy wins.

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."
