Former Prosecutor, Now Your Advocate in Pinellas County 

Melinda Morris, founder and managing partner of Morris Law Firm, brings invaluable insight to the defense table as a former state prosecutor. Having handled thousands of criminal cases, she has been involved in every stage of the legal process — from investigations to trial and sentencing. This experience equips us with an acute understanding of how law enforcement and prosecutors build cases against you. 

Attorney Morris’s career has built relationships with and knowledge of key institutions like the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Department, Pinellas County Clerk’s Office, and Florida Department of Law Enforcement. This familiarity with local processes allows us to identify weaknesses in the State’s case and to act decisively in your defense. 

Choosing a former prosecutor means having someone on your side who has stood on both sides of the courtroom. We understand the tactics prosecutors use and how to counter them effectively.
