Relationship: Worked together on matter
I had the privilege of working with Mr. Morris on a complicated divorce matter involving significant assets and significant back tax problems for the parties. His expertise relating to tax (and just general litigation) was invaluable. I would highly recommend Mr. Morris should any individual or business have the need for his expertise or just needing an excellent lawyer.
