Not 5 Star in My Case...

I had hired a more senior lawyer to handle my divorce case against a well-heeled and rapacious (now ex) spouse. When this attorney took an unexpected leave for medical reasons, Morgan (then Nix, not Hoover) took over my case. Not sure if it was her burdened case load or her inexperience in dealing wi...th predatory opponents, but she was cold, unimaginative, and unsympathetic throughout our time working together. While she answered emails and handled communications "efficiently," on the day of our 11.5-hr-long mediation session (over Zoom), she deferred almost entirely to the forensic accountant the law firm had hired, and when their legal strategy failed to elicit the mediating judge's sympathy, Morgan had no "Plan B." She then put the burden of negotiating and decision making entirely on me, even though I was clueless and emotionally ill-equipped for shouldering it, especially after 9 hrs of mediation. My settlement ended up being 40% less than what she and the accountant had claimed they could get for me. I feel she failed to truly invest in getting to know my case or me (though she had enough time to do so), and afterwards, when I expressed disappointment in the lower settlement, she pushed back in a very unprofessional way and refused to take any responsibility, blaming me for agreeing to the settlement. Based on her results and "bedside manner," in my case I would give her 1 star at best, but will up it to 2 because she promptly answering emails.

Not Guilty!

I hired Morgan to help me with a criminal matter. Her ability to navigate the case and attention to detail was very impressive. I couldn't have been found not guilty without her. I would recommend hiring her.

Her knowledge and attention to detail gave us peace and comfort

My wife and I were hesitant about hiring a lawyer for a custody battle that we are going through, but we are very thankful that we found Morgan. Morgan was recommended to us by a friend and we cannot thank her enough for her services. She is very knowledgeable about the law and gave great detail to... our case. Since hiring her we have been able to be at peace and we know are extremely confident about the outcome of our court date. I cannot say enough great things about Morgan and her professionalism. If you are having any doubts, like we were, you should definitely give her a call you will not regret it. Morgan thank you once again.
