100% satisfied with Morris law group. Melinda was able to resolve my legal issues with no additional expenses other than my original retainer. I highly recommend this firm for professional and competent representation.

Seth is an amazing attorney, he doesn’t just take your money and leave you in the dark. My case took a month he knew exactly what to do when to do it and planned it out all from day 1 with me! Communication was excellent and my case got dropped.

Absolutely amazing! I sent an email on Sunday and Seth called me first thing Monday morning. After a few minutes of talking I could tell I was in good hands. Seth completely understood the situation and knew the right steps to take and the right people to contact. I couldn't be more pleased with the amazing and professional service I received at Morris Law Firm, P.A.

If you want the best legal representation, look no further than Morris law firm. Melinda reassured me from the very first time we spoke over the phone. She is very professional and keeps you updated on the progress of your case. I really liked that I didn’t have to reach out to her Everything was smooth, straightforward and she put my mind at ease. You’ll be in good hands with her. Thank you Melinda

Mr. Shapiro helped my case by looking at the police body cam diligently which supported my testimony. He presented evidence to the prosecutor .I hired Seth Shapiro to defend me after a domestic battery charge in which I was wrongfully accused and arrested. My case was dismissed thankfully. Couldn't have asked for a better outcome. This was an extreme difficult time for me. Seth Shapiro was knowledgeable and compassionate in my case. He followed up with my concerns. I would highly recommend this firm.

Melinda has represented me on numerous cases and the outcome has always been great. Melinda goes above and beyond to defend your rights and get you the best possible outcome. I highly recommend hiring her.

This is a great firm. Very quick and professional. They assisted me with a case from 2013 that has been following me around for years. Thank you!

We were on vacation in Florida and ran into some troubles and needed an attorney. Mr. Shapiro took on our case on a Sunday evening and had us in front of the judge the next day (which other attorneys told us was impossible). He took time to explain to us everything that needed to happen in order for us to be able to return to Michigan. Anytime we had a question, or sent him an email he would reply promptly! We highly recommend him and his firm!!

Seth Shapiro, and Morris Law Firm in general, are consummate professionals. I researched other lawyers in the area, and none of them compared, both in price and assistance. Seth always made himself available for any questions that I had, no matter how simplistic they were. While you may want the moon, Seth is up front and clear about all possible outcomes. In my case, Seth was able to deliver the moon for my trespass arrest. Thank you so much for your invaluable assistance Seth!
