Gracias Billy

Como madre de un menor que fue acusado de portar un arma ilegalmente, este proceso fue muy angustiante para nuestra familia. Desde el primer momento, el abogado Billy nos apoyó muchísimo. Nos explicó todo con claridad, nos mantuvo informados y siempre estuvo disponible para responder nuestras pregunt...as. Algo que realmente marcó la diferencia fue que su oficina cuenta con personal que habla español y estuvo disponible en todo momento para traducir y ayudarnos a entender cada paso del caso. Gracias a Billy y a su equipo, nos sentimos acompañados y en buenas manos durante todo el proceso. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Highly Recommended

Our family was dealing with a very serious criminal matter, and the stress was overwhelming. Billy handled the case with confidence and professionalism from start to finish. He explained everything clearly, kept us informed, and worked hard to protect my son’s future. Because of his efforts, the outc...ome was far better than we could have hoped for. I highly recommend Billy to anyone who needs a strong defense attorney. My son had a misdemeanor charge in Harris County that Billy got dismissed and a first degree felony charge in Chambers County that he got my son a 6 month deferred on. He was facing up to 99 years on the Chambers county charge.

Burglary Case Dismissed

I am 19 years old and was recently facing a burglary charge that stemmed from a complete misunderstanding. Mr. Morian was appointed to represent me, and from the very beginning he treated me with professionalism and respect. He immediately took control of the situation, and within the same day of mee...ting with him, he was able to have my case completely dismissed. Because of his work, I am now in the process of having my ankle monitor removed and can move forward with my life without this case holding me back. I am truly grateful for his representation and highly recommend his services

Dismissal for My Son

My 19-year-old son was charged with burglary, even though the situation was a clear misunderstanding. As his mother, I was extremely concerned about the impact this could have on his future. Mr. Morian was appointed to handle his case, and from the moment we met him, he was professional, attentive, a...nd reassuring. He moved quickly and was able to have the case dismissed in the very same day. Thanks to his efforts, my son is already in the process of having his ankle monitor removed and can finally put this matter behind him. I am deeply appreciative of Mr. Morian’s diligence and the respect he showed our family throughout the process.

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."
