Wish I could’ve given negative stars horrible excuse for an attorney

I have never experienced such a level of unprofessionalism..worse lawyer ever doesn’t care if you’re innocent he does not even try to defend u especially if the prosecutor is his buddy. Did nothing to help me & my family I went to trial & he took it as a joke knowin I was innocent. This man ruined my... reputation.do not hire him or Edward okweze the will take ur money & do absolutely nothing.

Horrible Lawyer

He is a sorry excuse of a lawyer never again he didn't even try to fight my dwi case or try to give you a better deal. I wouldn't recommend him to nobody if you need a lawyer find somebody else.He will tell you to take a conviction and it is nothing else he can do.He doesn't appear to your court date... on time just horrible.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Chris Morton is an excellent lawyer and a man of his word. He began his career with the Harris County District Attorney's Office, where he developed a reputation among the defense bar as a fair and reasonable prosecutor--which cannot be said for everyone. He also developed a reputation as an excellent trial lawyer. You would be hard pressed to find a better lawyer to represent you in your criminal case."
