Professional And Thorough

Mr. Ross was incredibly thorough and committed to ensuring that all of my questions and concerns were addressed. In addition to his professionalism, Mr. Ross displays a sharp intellect and an impressive passion when providing legal services. Being exposed to legal matters and conflicts that need reso...lving can be very intimidating, especially for a young man like myself. Mr. Ross was the best legal defense that I was fortunate enough to utilize. Having Mr. Ross' legal guidance allowed me to resolve my legal matters in what was the best outcome that I could have imagined. Mr. Ross was the first attorney I have ever had, and I am grateful for that!

University Represenation

Attorney Morgan Ross and his team were very helpful in my case at UCSD. Morgan was very well informed on the process with experience doing so and was able to help me successfully fight the case. He would regularly have meetings with me and even spoke with the university on his own time. Overall would... definitely recommend!

IEP Advocacy

Morgan Ross helped my family get through a recent IEP meeting for my 11 year old daughter. We had felt frustrated and a term Mr. Ross used "wharehoused." Mr. Ross reassured us and helped us get back on track. We feel very positive going forward, and have high hopes for my daughter's educational succ...ess. We would highly recommend Morgan Ross and all the team at Counterpoint Legal. We feel so confident with him, we plan to retain his services for my younger child's IEP as well. Thank you Morgan Ross.

Posted by Nitza Garcia | May 22, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Lemon Law

Counterpoint legal was my firm. Let it be yours.

Mr. Ross, Stephanie and Maureen are a fantastic firm. Look no further if your wanting help with a legal issue. I contacted Mr. Ross in Dec 2018. I left a message and as soon as they returned my call is was a go, for both of us. He said we definitely have a case in our hands. I felt relieved, fin...ally I had someone who understood our frustration. Here is a little short story of what our scenario was. We had our truck in the Ford dealership sitting for a little more than 6 months on and off with no answers. I was still paying for my monthly truck payment with no one resolving or fixing the problem. Since the car was only going to be 2 years old in June of that year, I thought I had a lemon in my hands. At one time it sat for a little over 3 months. Mr. Ross explained to us that we had a legal case after all the neglect we were getting from Ford and false promises. Not so much a Lemon, but I was very hopeful, especially with all the information he was telling me. Mr. Ross and his amazing staff got on it and within 2 weeks Ford received a letter of demand on our behalf. Call and emails between me and the firm were returned in no time. They were always their for questions. It all together took about a little more than 3 months to get it resolved, but he did it!! I was all worth it. We were granted what we deserved. We were so grateful with Counterpoint firm and the staff. Don't wait to give them a call if you need some assistance. You won't regret it!! Thank you Mr. Ross The Garcia's

Posted by Casey | May 01, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Landlord & Tenant

Landlord/Tenant dispute (security deposit)

Morgan Ross, assisted very competently and professionally by Stephanie Eaton, recently resolved my landlord/tenant dispute that had been dragging on for the better part of 6 months. My landlord was attempting to keep my entire security deposit, blaming me for anything and everything related to t...he house - a blatant attempt to mimic the ethos of the modern-day banking industry: socialize losses and privatize gains. So many landlords these days view the “security deposit” as an automatic gratuity for “allowing” you to occupy a residence and have this warped notion that the home should somehow be in better condition after your tenancy than when you entered into the lease. Fight these greedy landlords... and when you do, use Morgan Ross. Morgan plowed into my case head-on and worked with me to push back against my landlord and his unjust cash grab. I very much appreciate the advice and insight I received from Morgan and his team and I could not be happier about the final result: a complete and total return of my security deposit.
