This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent Attorney, Personal Attention

I have had the privilege of working with Morgan Seegmiller since 2015. He is honest, intelligent and proactive, working diligently to obtain the best possible results on each legal matter. Morgan is straight-forward and efficient in his approach to casework and legal matters, while being genuinely co...mpassionate with his clients. He is an excellent attorney who will competently handle your legal needs.

A Knowledgable Lawyer Who Truly Works With You

I have been working with Morgan quite a bit over the past year with my business and he has been fantastic. One thing that really distinguishes him from other lawyers that I've dealt with is not only his professionalism and expertise, but his personable manner in which he conducts business with you. ... He has been great working WITH me and what I needed both from my perspective as well as his perspective and we worked together to put something together that was exactly what I was looking for and needed. Even more importantly, Morgan is fair when it comes to what he actually needs to do for you versus what you don't actually need him for. He isn't just out to bill you for as many hours as he can or add on as many services as he can. He actually will ensure that he treats you fairly for what you actually need. I have come back to Morgan time and time again and for things that were outside of his area of expertise he has some great referrals to be able to connect you with. I have referred him personally to friends who have needed similar help and would gladly continue to send people his way. I know I will have more work to do with Morgan and I look forward to the continued professional service and excellent work that he has performed and I highly recommend him to others looking for a fantastic lawyer to work with!

Savvy and Skilled Attorney

Morgan Seegmiller assisted me with collecting money damages from a breach of contract. Although I was skeptical at first, he knew all the issues involved in my case and he was right on in his predictions of the outcome. Morgan resolved my whole case without ever having to file a lawsuit. He convin...ced the other party to pay me what I needed and he kept my legal bill low by working efficiently. I highly recommend trusting Morgan Seegmiller with your legal disputes.

Great Small Business Attorney!!!

I highly recommend Morgan Seegmiller for Small Business representation. Morgan gave me great advice and fought and settled a contractor lawsuit in my favor. He also settled a creditor lawsuit and a city tax problem for payments that my business could afford. The result was affordable payments and ...certainty that I am able to keep my business license and stay in business. Morgan has great knowledge of the laws and communicated with me through the whole process.

Great Personized Service!

I was truly satisfied with Mr. Seegmiller's work on my legal problems. I needed help with settlement of a real estate debt and I needed to lower the commercial lease payments for my business. Both of these problems were successfully resolved and I was able to keep my business open. All of my commu...nication with the Butler Law Office was timely and handled well. I enjoyed working with the Butler Law Office because it is a small firm where I got very personalized service.
