About Morgan

 

Professional:

As an attorney, I am a great value for my clients.  I have the benefit of consulting with a 30 year attorney at our firm, but I only bill clients at the hourly rate of an associate attorney.  I have been researching and writing on legal matters for approximately 6 years and I have proven to be efficient in the time I spend on each client's case.

 

 

Personal:

I am married and have four children (Aiden, Chance, Sayenna, and Kynley).  I love spending time with my family and teaching my kids about God and how to play every sport imaginable. 

 

With my kids in Elementary School, I have become more involved in the problems and successes of our education systems.  I stay current on public and charter school operations and curriculums.

 

I also try to stay current with, and involved in, Lyme Disease research and awareness.  When we determined my wife had Lyme Disease, I have decided that this preventable and very prevalent disease must be more adequately confronted by the medical profession.  (I enjoyed the recent film "under our skin").

 

American history is another one of my passions.  I love to learn about the great individuals who have gone before us and who helped shape this great land and legal system that we have inherited.

A Knowledgable Lawyer Who Truly Works With You

Posted by

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 convinced 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!!!

Posted by

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 communication 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.

Proficient, Efficient and Caring Attorney - Highly Recommended

Posted by

Attorney Morgan Seegmiller possesses great skills and experiences in negotiation with HOA's disputes in AZ. I was very impressed with his great empathy and honesty. He recommended the course of actions which are in my best interest. I live out of state so it was very assuring to have someone so knowledgeable and caring to consult with. With his help I was able to come up with a good resolution for my case. I am so grateful to have found him on AVVO. I would highly recommend Morgan.

Great Lawyer at a Great Price

Posted by

Morgan worked as my attorney to help me through the sale of my business and to help settle my debt that piled up since the recession. I would recommend Morgan to all my friends and other companies I have done business with over the past 32 years. Morgan has always kept me well informed on every occurrence. He stayed on top of all the calls from the other attorneys, from my company's landlord, and from my creditors. He helped take all the pressure off of me. I also never had to wait for him to get back to me when I had a question. Morgan's hourly rate is great deal considering his level of performance. I rate his as excellent in his job performance.

Owner/tenant conflict and resolution

Posted by

Mr. Seegmiller did a great job helping us evict a tenant for nonpayment of rent. He goes the extra mile to insure everything is being done to achieve the most favorable result. He let us know exactly what needed to be done at each junction. He pays close attention to the details and was very informative I would hire Morgan Seegmiller without hesitation.

Very helpful
