Divorce Attorney

I hired Mr. Morris to represent me in my divorce case. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Mr Morris and his staff are excellent to work work with and always get back to you in a timely manner, I even had to call him on a weekend with an emergency issue. If you are looking for the best attorne...y then look no further, he is straight forward with the divorce process, was on time, and prepared. His legal fees are excellent and he was very down to earth,he made me feel comfortable from day one and that is exactly what I was looking for. I was never promised anything and I actually ended up with more than I had expected he knows what he's doing and I would recommend him to everyone I know.

Resonable attorney

I hired Phillip to help me through my divorce. He is an excellent attorney that is straight forward with the process and set reasonable expectations. Finally his retainer and fees were very fair.

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.

child custody miracle!

My husband and I hired this firm on a child custody case The experience was amazing they were very hands on, kept us informed about any changes and Mr. Morris and his lovely assistant got us the best deal we could have possibly gotten. I definitely recommend him to anyone that needs legal assistance ...we will definitely use them again on future legal ventures and i will definitely be voting for Mr.Morris in February.

Adoption

The Law Office of Phillip W. Morris assisted us with completing a stepparent adoption. His office was experienced in the process, demonstrated great understanding and empathy with our personal circumstances, and consistently maintained positive communication to ensure that we always had a clear unde...rstanding of the status of our case. His paralegal staff was excellent and always responded quickly and concisely.

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.
