Best Lawyer in Wilco

Mark was utterly amazing. He was honest and straight forward from the beginning and got us the absolute best plea under the circumstances. He gave us his personal cell phone and responded quickly when we'd text or call. He kept pushing the DA all the way up to the last minute and we literally than...ked God for Mark Morales. If you have a case in Williamson County and your in some serious trouble..THIS IS THE GUY you wanna hire.

Mark is a good man

I fully recommend Mark Morales and his office. They are all so kind and helpful. From the information packets I was given from the day I hired him, communication has been excellent. I went to visit Mark at his office several times during my case, sometimes without an appointment, and he always had... time for me. When I had to bring my kids to meetings, his staff entertained them while I spoke with Mark. I was recommended to go see Mark by more than one person and I'm so glad that I did. Williamson County is a hard place to have a case in, but Mark helped me get into the PTI program. It was not easy to get in to, but I was truly remorseful for doing what I did. Mark made me feel like I wasn't a criminal and that I was a really good person who made a terrible error in judgment. Mark and is staff are not judgmental and I feel like they are friends now. I know I called them a lot, I'm kind of a worrier, but they were always patient with me. Because I was able to do the PTI program, I got my case dismissed and now I can get one more fresh start. I was so humiliated, but I will never make that mistake again!

Great Job

I was referred to Mark Morales by a friend of mine who is a Judge. He did a great job for me and I would refer him to anyone of my friends or family members.

Best attorney I have found

After getting arrested I recieved letters from countless lawyers adverstising their services. I read through them all and picked a handfull to interview before making my decision. It was very important to me to find the right lawyer because of the impact a conviction would have on my career. I was ...immediately impressed and confident after talking to Mark. He made me feel very reassured. He didn't talk down to me or make me feel bad about my case like some of the older lawyers. One of the main things I was looking for was a lawyer who was personable and convincing because I knew I needed someone to get through to the prosecutors. I am so glad I chose Mark and he didn't let me down because my case was dismissed. I highly reccomend Mark and if you meet with him and other lawyers too, you will see the difference as well.

Mark Morales Did a Great Job With My Son's Case

I highly recommend attorneys Mark Morales, Carson Guy and their and her staff. It was dumb luck when I found them on Google and my and my son's life is better for it today. Mr. Morales was well acquainted with the court, the presiding judge, the prosecutor, and the intricate knowledge of the law invo...lved in a case like mine. He and his staff were very efficient and I feel that my limited resources were very well spent. Being a small office, I loved that every time I called, no matter who answered the phone, they always were able to answer my questions. Even when I would call Mark on his cellphone in the evening or even text him, I was always kept well informed. And in the end, my son's case was resolved in a very fair way. His record was protected, and he still has a bright future ahead of him. Thank you Mark and Carson!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Mark Morales and his staff are an excellent criminal defense team. As a former prosecutor, Mark Morales knows the right way to tackle a case and where to push for the weak spots. I have worked together with him when cases overlap between his area, criminal defense, and my area, family law. Sometimes, when it rains it pours. I know that when Mark is watching our client on the criminal front that frees me to concentrate on the family law front. His office is very easy to work with and we've managed to achieve great results for our mutual clients in the past. I highly recommend Mark and his team."
