Marcus William Morales

If I could turn back time, I would have chosen Morales Law to represent me when I got divorced a little over a year ago. At that time I had no clue what questions to ask or what to look for in an attorney or what my rights were through all of this. I’d never been through a divorce or custody situatio...n and had so many emotions going on. Needless to say, I did not have good representation and ended up with an agreement that I should’ve never been advised to take. Fast forward to now and I’m trying to remedy the issues that concerned me before. This time I opted to go with a different attorney. I’m so thankful that I was referred to Marcus. I was looking for someone who would fight hard for me and my kids. He is confident, knowledgeable, tells you like it is and on top of all that, the entire staff in his office are so kind and always willing to help as much as possible. You feel right at home. I also want to give a special thank you to Hana for putting up with me and responding so quickly to all of my questions and concerns. You helped me keep my peace of mind. A word of advice from me to anyone reading this and looking for the BEST family law attorney they can find. Don’t be like me and waste your time and money elsewhere. See for yourself. Take advantage of the free consultation they offer and do it right the first time! You won’t be sorry.

Going through a custody trial is a challenging and sometimes scary process. I felt that Mr. Morales did a really good job of helping me navigate the experience so I felt more in control of the situation. He was always prompt in his responses with me and ready to answer any questions I might have or a...lleviate my fears on the proceedings. My favorite part was watching him confidently and eloquently crush my Ex in the cross exam, it was satisfying to witness. I’m certainly glad he was on my side! Thank you Marcus for you professionalism and service to my case.

I came to Marcus Morales Law after blasting through an initial $5,000 retainer at another firm and then trying to represent myself through the court system. I was so frustrated and felt like I had a simple case but was getting nowhere. Like many separated people, I just wanted it all over and wanted ...to move on with my life. Marcus did a great job by being fair, honest, and optimistic abut my case. His communication was always wonderful and he uses a data system so you can access document 24/7 and message as well. I felt like I was always knew the latest on the case, understood the billing, and was aware of next steps. Furthermore, his office staff was always kind, called to check on me, and always answered. I even had a document due the night before Thanksgiving and it was submitted at 11:45pm. The communication is amazing but the results blew me away. He is well respected by the judges and other attorneys understand he is a finisher. He knows the laws but he also is realistic with you and will tell you what to expect. He was thorough and his court submission were always on time. He never needed an extension or was too busy for me. Since I retained Marcus, I have sent three others to him and all have had wonderful results. He is compared to a quality surgeon with good bedside manner! Divorce attorney aren't usually used more than once, so I am glad to choose someone who is effective, efficient, and fair.

I came to Marcus with a very complicated divorce case. Upon our first meeting, Marcus was compassionate with my situation. He was quick to understand what I was explaining and what I needed to do going forward and yet I didn't feel pressured to retain his services. I would describe Marcus as an attor...ney who definitely went to bat for me. During the case he was aggressive, proactive, knowledgeable, encouraging and consistent in keeping me informed of the process. Additionally, the entire staff at Morales Law was friendly, yet professional, helpful and quick to communicate with me. I also appreciated the ease of their online portal where I could view my case documents, send emails or upload information to them. Though my case ended up changing jurisdictions in a different state, I felt Marcus did everything he could have. He even followed up later to see how things were going with my case. I would definitely recommend Marcus Morales to anyone looking for an attorney in Family Law in Santa Barbara.
