I was referred to Eric by a mutual attorney relating to an incident involving my child. Although we just spoke for consult purposes as of now, He was extremely forthcoming and professional. Eric reached out immediately upon receiving my information and both compassionate and attentive as to my concerns. I would definitely recommend Eric and will retain him in the future if necessary.

I retained Eric Morrell in October of 2021 to handle a serious, federal matter in which I was involved. Due to the potential consequences, I needed an attorney who would give this matter the attention and care it required. Eric worked with me for 3 years to see this case to resolution. Throughout this time, Eric was always available to me, kept me abreast of the situation, and offered his counsel – both legal and experiential – to help guide me through a very challenging time of my life. His experience in cases like mine allowed him to give me immediate advice and guidance with the goal being to attain the best possible result. Eric, along with his superb team of paralegals, ultimately got me to a very favorable outcome. While Eric is excellent at all aspects of his profession, where he really shines is in his brief writing and communication with the court and opposing counsel. I am truly thankful and grateful for the work done by Eric and his team.

Eric was very responsive to all of our questions in helping our teenage daughter with an incident. Eric came highly recommended from a friend, and we called to leave a message on the day of the incident (which was a Sunday!) and he called back that night to talk to us about the matter. He was straightforward about what was to happen next in the process, understood that we wanted the matter handled as quickly as possible, and was realistic but kind, helpful, and a zealous negotiator on behalf of our daughter. He was attentive to our matter and helped get it resolved quite quickly. I would highly recommend Eric and his firm.

I was referred to Law Offices of Eric Morrell by a friend lawyer after i was pulled over for DUI. I called him and he answered the phone and the next day i was at his office. I had 5 tickets from the police and all were dismissed. Mr Morrell is a knowledgeable lawyer with great experience, and i would recommend anyone to go get help from him. The best part was he takes the initiative to know you and your family on a personal level. Trust is everything in any business and that is what you will get from Mr Morrell. I thank him for representing my case from start to finish.
