Compassionate caring

Phillip Morris represented me for My Modification for child custody. He was the most honest and caring attorney I have ever met. Even though we didn’t win, he was very concerned with how I was doing and checked on me later that evening and during the week. Mr. Phillips has what other attorneys lac...k compassion and a vested interest in your case. Mr. Phillips staff was extremely helpful in walking me though all the paperwork and explaining what was needed from me. Thank you Lacey Richards Attny. I would recommend him highly for any of your legal needs. Thank you Mr. Phillips

Great lawyer!

Mr. Morris helped modify my custody and child support orders. It was a pretty messed up situation and I was worried it wouldn't work out. Phillip eased my fears time and time again by my educating me on how the process and laws work. I am very grateful to have had such a kind, patient, and knowledgea...ble lawyer. He did exactly what I needed him to do!

Seasoned Attorney with a direct approach

Mr. Morris has a diverse and strong background in the legal process from his experience as a law enforcement officer to his years of experience as a lawyer. After my consultation with him, I could tell he was well versed in family law and would represent me well. Both he and his staff were able to ...clearly describe the whole court process to me from discovery to mediation to court preparation and court. He never over promised and his best guess on what the judge would decide was right on the mark. His dedication to my case and his thoroughness was evident when the case went to trial. He was well prepared, well spoken and presented all the facts throughly. He was quick to prevent any pitfalls put out by opposing council and was able to keep everything in court running on target. I would hire him again in a heartbeat, but hopefully I won't need to.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
