Kind Hearted W Bulldog Legal Abilities

Was in a very tough situation and sought out to find the best possible attorney I could. Was referred to William by a very good, trusted friend. I reached out to William for a consultation on my matter and he was patient with many throughout my many, sometimes repetitive and laboring questions. Afte...r extensive conversation with William, it was evident that he was a tremendous attorney with bulldog abilities in the courtroom. No doubt that William is someone you'd want standing next to you in your fight against the Goliath that can be the legal system. William is not only a great lawyer, but an equally as great human being. Blessed to have been referred to William.

My brother and I had some noise issues with our neighbors that ended up involving the police. William was very nice and professional and succeeded in helping us understand our rights and working with the courts to keep us out of jail.

Good Lawyer, Great Friend

I hired this attorney because my father had a good experience with him during his DUI proceedings. My situation was also a DUI - THC metabolites. I was very frustrated because I felt the circumstances were unjust. William not only helped me to remain calm and positive throughout the process, b...ut was able to negotiate very favorable terms, such as the fact that I would not require an interlock device after I got my lisence reinstated. He also had many fees waived. I'm pretty sure this was the cheapest DUI proceeding in Arizona history. Later he assisted me in discovering what was on my background check that had prevented my employment (personal favor). And personally expedited the paperwork for my lisence reinstatement (also as a personal favor). I would highly recommend Mr. Morris as an attorney, but even more so as a friend.

Best affordable Criminal Lawyer around!!

William was attentive, thorough, and helpful through a very difficult time. He was with me every step of the way with insight and compassion. He always responded quickly and effectively with any questions or concerns about all 4 of my criminal cases. I am very pleased with the performance, support, ...professionalism and determination he had for all my criminal cases. All 4 of my criminal cases went to trial and where beat by William. I have referred him to multiple friends and family members. Although Attorneys can cost a ton of money William made it affordable for me to hire him.

Best Attorney

I've known William for about 7 years now and have had nothing but excellent service and advice from him. He always makes time to answer any and all concerns that I have and is really good about following up with progress and information. Definitely puts a Grade A customer service touch to his service...s (which by the way is unheard of in his industry).

  • 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.
