About Andrea
Biography
I have always had a strong interest in helping people since I was sworn in as an attorney over 20 years ago.
Since 2004, I have volunteered for the UNC Law School's Community Legal Project which offers free legal assistance through the Compass Center in Chapel Hill (formerly The Women’s Center). I was also on the NC Bar Association's Lawyer Referral Service list for over 10 years. Finally I donate my time once a year at the NC Bar Association's "4ALL Statewide Service Day" - where attorneys throughout the state answer phone calls all day and provide free legal information and referral resources for numerous areas of law.
Early on, I felt called to help people going through the difficult, stressful, confusing, and emotional stages of separation, divorce, and other challenging family law matters and practiced in that area for the majory of my career. But over the past 2 decades, I have also gained experience in numerous other ares, including employment law and discrimination, real estate, landlord tenant law, contracts (drafting, reviewing, and disputes), collections and foreclosures.

If your looking for a great attorney then look no more!!!
Ms. Morelos answered every question I had and she even answered questions that I sent here way past regular business hours. Her answers were informative and covered everything even things that I hadn't even thought to ask, so if your looking for a great attorney then you found one in her!!!

Replied last June 25, 2019Thank you SO much for this review! And I'm so glad I was able to help you, even outside of any consult or full representation. Unfortunately, avvo keeps poster's names anonymous and also doesn't even show which question you are referring to. And since we answer so many different questions on any given day, we don't know which one it was. But that is great that I answered your questions plus even more and good luck to you in your legal situation!

Replied last March 21, 2017Hello! Thank you for posting and we do appreciate reviews of all kinds, even the ones with constructive criticism. Though, a low star review does of course affect my rating which as you can see prior to your post was not the case and I have received the highest level possible from both Avvo.com as well as all other reviewers. So, we do like to follow up when possible to see how we may be able to assist you more. I'm sorry you ultimately did not find my response or information helpful or otherwise burdensome. Unfortunately, without more details in this small review, I am unaware as to which question this was pertaining to, and therefore how my response may have been taken the wrong way. Feel free to post more here or to contact me offline directly so we can hopefully better answer your question or legal need! Thank you for using Avvo! Yours, Attorney Morelos

Replied last December 3, 2015Thank you so much! I can't tell offhand which client this is since these are posted anonymous. Or if it was perhaps from just an initial consultation or through an AVVO FAQ I answered. But either way, I am so happy to have helped you and I really appreciate the kind words! Take care!
