Fast Dismissal, Zero Stress -Morgan Took Care of Everything, Protected My Record and My Future

I hired Morgan Anthony Bourque for a Class B misdemeanor charge, and the outcome exceeded my expectations. After our initial consultation, he handled everything efficiently and strategically. Within a month, my case was dismissed with virtually no effort required on my part beyond our first meeting. ...He was confident, clear, and highly effective. I’m incredibly grateful for his skill and professionalism and would strongly recommend him to anyone needing criminal defense representation.

The Legal System is an intimidating place, Hire Morgan.

Morgan and his team have done an absolutely phenomenal job guiding me through the legal system—the ups and downs, the setbacks, and ultimately, the victories. From our very first meeting, they listened to everything I had to say with compassion and without judgment. I was assured that they would fig...ht for me—and they truly did. The entire team worked seamlessly, united in their approach. I can honestly say I couldn't fault a single person. Each of them treated me with kindness and respect, even on the days when I had none left for myself. The legal system is an intimidating place, especially when you’ve been an upstanding citizen for over 50 years and have no experience with courtrooms or judicial processes. It’s terrifying. But having a team that stands firmly behind you makes all the difference. Morgan and his team walked me through every step, offering clarity, support, and relentless dedication. I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome—and more grateful for the people who got me there.

No need to look further. Morgan Bourque is the right choice.

I cannot recommend Morgan Bourque strongly enough. After a medication related misunderstanding post surgery resulting in arrest of a family member for theft we interviewed several attorneys in the area and the choice was clear. Communication was speedy and clear. The charge was pled down and we we...re able to navigate the process while going about our normal lives without incident. As a result, only a small fine was required with no further criminal action. A dream come true. Protect yourself, go with Morgan Bourque.

Case dismissed

Morgan and team were amazing . Got my case dismissed in less than 3 months . Will definitely choose him again.

Passionate Professionalism

I had Morgan represent me in a case based on a referral from a friend and he did not disappoint. The process was absolutely seamless and the customer service was 5star resort equivalent. After watching Morgan interact with court personnel and Judge I was convinced I made the correct choice as I could... plainly see he understood his audience and that they respected Morgan. I would recommend Morgan to everyone that finds themselves in a situation where they may need defense representation in Montgomery County, TX. After our first meeting, I referred to Morgan as "Harvey Specter" because of his wit and fashion sense, but upon my case getting dismissed I now use the reference due to how Morgan Bourque handles his business!

Also, Morgan contributes to the local defense bar to help other lawyers rise up to his level. Morgan's clients are fortunate."

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2020.

Partially Probated Suspension issued in TX, 2020

updated on 01/14/2021

Partially Probated Suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. When the attorney returns to practice, he or she will be on probation, meaning the State monitors the attorney's activities for a period of time in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Morgan’s comment:

“The State Bar and I had a disagreement on how I handled an advertising campaign. In the end, we agreed that I would take a step away from practicing law for the month of December 2019. Feel free to call the office and discuss.”
