Outstanding attorney!

Rob Morrison has been my attorney for 15 years. He is exceptionally skilled and meticulous in his legal work, all the while being affable, open and helpful in communications with me. I never realized how complex an estate plan actually is until Rob guided me through it. I would never consider cons...ulting anyone else for legal issues.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2003.

Public Reprimand issued in TX, 2003

updated on 03/21/2011

Public reprimand means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The State gives the lawyer a public reprimand in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior. Details of the infraction are made part of the public record.

Robert’s comment:

“This reprimand was because I did not get a written waiver from a client even though I received a verbal waiver. The rules of professional responsibility require the waiver to be in writing.”
