Outstanding Work From A Trustworthy, Reliable Firm

I hired Robert Morris recently to handle the probate estate of my deceased mother's, and was very pleased with the results. During our initial meeting, he seemed to be quite knowledgeable about the probate laws that would apply to this particular type of probate estate, and took the time to explain t...hem in detail. He had a patient, personable manner during this meeting, and was very upfront about everything. He charged very reasonable fees for this case overall. My deceased mother's probate case was approved without any issues, at every step, and all of the assets from her estate were subsequently released without any delays; this is the ultimate goal of any probate case, and his exceptional legal expertise absolutely helped bring about this successful outcome. I later decided to have Mr. Morris prepare some trust administration documents for an irrevocable trust which I am currently serving as the trustee of. Again, he charged fair, reasonable fees for these, and also took the time to add some critical, necessary updates needed to conform to Nevada law (the trust had originally been drafted in a different state). I have since used these documents to handle a number of financial banking matters, and have had no issues at all with the banks when doing so. Having these properly drafted, well-prepared documents on hand to use for such matters made a very significant difference in terms of time, hassle, and stress when it came to administering this irrevocable trust; I have since realized how crucial it is to hire a skilled estate planning lawyer for these situations. Mr. Morris provided outstanding work for my particular probate and trust matters overall, and I couldn't have been more impressed. I would definitely recommend hiring him and his firm.

Superb Professional!

Bob aided our family through a very difficult case ... most of which was conducted long distance. He was extremely kind, understanding, and professional. We would highly recommend him!

Exceptional Attorney

MR. Morris is a kind gentleman who is articulate and effective. He has, on multiple occasions, demonstrated explicit knowledge of the law both in and out of the court room as well as in writing. Furthermore I found Mr. Morris to be accessible and patient while having a clear and precise understandin...g of me and my case. I certainly, without reservation, would highly recommend Mr. Morris to anyone.
