FANTASTIC ATTORNEY

Ian was crucial to have on my side. I am impressed with his dedication and personal attention to my case and appreciate the time he spent speaking with me, in court, and behind the scenes. He knows both the law and general public extremely well and will take the time to ensure that he is working for ...the best outcome possible. If you want to be treated like a human instead of just a number, Ian is for you. I wouldn’t step into another Santa Barbara courtroom without him.

HIGHLY Recommend Ian Morse & Molly Appel

My recommendation: Hire this attorney!!! Ian Morse and Molly Appel went out of their way to help me in a complex and frankly nutso situation. The kind of case others shied away from due to complexity, or pure doubt. Ian listened and understood in a way others simply did not. Both of them are a q...uick study, to say the least, and in my situation, they went above and beyond. They seem to truly be into what they do (makes all the difference), not to mention good at it, and they’re not afraid of a challenge. Ian was always timely with communications too, which for me matters quite a bit because you’re already anxious enough. I would not hesitate to recommend them to others, and I feel I could not have had my interests better represented. It’s not an easy job what they do and I couldn’t be more grateful.

MOST Patient & kind! Clients are a priority!

I had an upcoming court appearance and I delayed on finding a lawyer. Not knowing what to do (the evening before the court date) while going thru my mail I saw a direct mailer from Ian Morse. That next morning I called him very early. While on his way to court, Ian listened to the details of my case,... agreed to appear for me that very same day, met me with me after my first court appearance, to go over the details and handled all aspects very professionally.

Ian is batting 100 for our family!

Ian has handled two separate cases for our family and has been victorious in both cases. Our family could not be happier with the way Ian handed our cases. Knowledgeable, Responsive and most important wants the best for his clients and bends over backwards to achieve that and has proved that 2 out o...f 2 times for us. Thank you Ian.
