Business 40%

Our firm nurtures small to medium businesses and provides direction in employer/employee relations. Your business needs a strong advocate, as it heads into uncharted waters.

40%
Litigation 40%

I am a trial attorney. There is no better way to spend a week than talking with a Comal, Guadalupe or Bexar County Jury about the merits and issues of a pending case. I am firm believer that a "Jury of One's Peers" is the best tool our Constitution provides to guarantee a fair result for every person, regardless of their class or situtation.

40%
Contracts and Agreements 20%

From the simplest residential lease to the multi-million dollar business purchase, every transaction must be diligently papered to reflect the Agreement. Take the time to do it right at the beginning and you may avoid a lawsuit in the end.

Excellent Attorney who values his clients

Mr. Morris handled an important legal matter for my family. I live out of state, but needed representation in Texas. Mr. Morris is a great communicator, which put my mind at ease given that legal matters are often quite complex. He was very responsive with both phone calls and emails. Mr. Morris did... an excellent job of guiding us through the process of mediation, which led to a positive outcome for our case. Mr. Morris is an excellent, highly skilled Attorney. I appreciate all that he did to ensure that our case was resolved in a manner that positively impacted our family.

Vice President, San Marcos Academy

We were referred to Mr. Morris by a common friend and associate. From the point of contact, to the end of mediation his firm handled everything promptly and professionally. In a previous experience with the legal world, hours were stacked and we had to push for information and production. This was ne...ver the case in this engagement. Everyone from Michael, his paralegal, to his executive assistant kept us informed and updated. They were concise in explaining what they needed in discovery for the case. It became obvious that the mediator had a clear picture of what was involved in our evidence as provided by our attorney. Michael earned our respect and confidence. We would not look to anyone else if this type of representation was needed again.

Property Dispute

Mike and his team did an excellent job in helping resolve a family property dispute. He and his team were very thorough and were able to uncover details in my suit that saved me thousands of dollars. They always kept me informed as the suit progressed. I would recommend him to anyone with this or any... other type of legal issue.
