Morgan has been great. Very responsive, detailed, fair, compassionate and extremely thorough. I couldn't be happier during such a trying time. I have recommended her and will continue to do so.
Morgan went above and beyond for me??? She told me what to expected to get from my case and I end up getting more she made sure she consulted me before everything, and kept me updated on what’s goin on at least 2 times a week. If you want someone who is not jus going to take your money I suggest Morgan.. she’s good!!!

Last Minute
I needed to hiring After I had already filed my initial paperwork. She got on top of everything very quickly. I was already headed in the right direction but she just tipped everything off. She gave great advisement on the issues I was having and how I should handle things moving forward. She made things a little more clear for me of what is expected of me in the court’s eyes and gave me peace of mind which is the main reason I went to her. Thank you Morgan!

Family/Restraining Order
I highly recommend Morgan. I was going through a family law/restraining order case. It was emotional/messy and stressful. Morgan made the court system a little less dehumanizing. She comforted me and empathized and explained every single step of the case, so that I understood what may and may not happen. I never felt once like I didn't know what was going on. Before hire she took the time to help me prep my case while I was pro per. After her guidance and generous time given, I hired her. Through the whole process I felt like she was a friend that really cared for my well being but also tactful, realistic and wise. If you have never hired an attorney before, I would hire her to be your first. She is an exceptional attorney.
