Biography

Mr. Morrell has more than 40 years of experience as an accident & personal injury attorney. He represents those who have lost loved ones in a fatal accident, and those injured in car, truck & motorcycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, hit-and-run cases, dog bites, slip & fall accidents, elder abuse and neglect, and claims against public entities and insurance companies. He holds those responsible for transmitting an STD without warning financially accountable.

"I have often seen, in my many years, too many attorneys who have not done their client the justice that they deserve. Too many attorneys take cases in which they really have no interest. The most often seen and heard complaint is that the client is not kept informed as to what is going on, does not return calls, nor respond to emails, etc. That is why in our office we take your calls and we respond to emails immediately. We provide our clients with my cell number, and I will speak to clients on week ends, or whenever they call. Many times I will spend time with a caller, explaining the law, and the legal issues that concern them."
