“We represented a family that lost a child in a terrible drowning at a neighborhood pool complex. The multiple defendants were pointing fingers at each other and trying to hide behind various non-profit liability caps. I brought in Morgan to help us navigate a series of Motions for Summary Judgment. The defendants’ pre-hearing offers were substantial, but we knew that defeating the motions would significantly increase their offers. Morgan was able to consolidate a considerable amount of data—depositions, documents, expert reports and affidavits—and hone it into a series of compelling responses. She ran circles around the defendants, both on paper and in the subsequent hearing. Straight out of the gate, the judge pinned the defense to the wall with Morgan’s eloquent arguments, and never let them loose. Motions denied, and the case literally settled a week later for more than triple their previous offers. 5-star performance, and both the family and I are very grateful to have had Morgan on our team.”

“I can’t say enough positive things about Morgan and her work as a brief writing and appellate lawyer. I have been lucky enough to use her on trial briefs and appellate work. She listens to your ideas and makes them so much better. Morgan writes in a very clear and persuasive manner. Also, Morgan has come to hearings with us and has a checklist to make sure that we are preserving the record on the issues. She will make sure that you properly object to evidence in motions. Morgan has saved the day more than once for our firm.”

“My clients and I hired Morgan to assist us with an appeal of a jury verdict in my clients’ favor to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. The case was a somewhat complex employment case, and I was very impressed with how quickly Morgan got up to speed on the law and was able to master the record. Morgan and her team went above and beyond to provide excellent work product and service. Morgan ultimately argued the case at oral argument and protected our verdict on appeal! I highly recommend Morgan and her firm.”

“I have known Morgan for several years. She has always been someone that can be relied on in all areas. That type of excellence has been highlighted by the incredible work her firm has accomplished. She is my first call when it comes to appellate questions and special issues. She is known across our state and the legal profession for producing work of the highest quality. Any trial lawyer would be blessed to have Morgan and her firm on your team.”

“Morgan is my go-to appellate attorney. As a trial attorney, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with her on many cases. Morgan never ceases to amaze me. Her ability to navigate complex legal issues and present them clearly is second to none. On top of her impressive skills, Morgan is a joy to work with and is a true ally in the pursuit of justice.”

“A few years ago, I found myself in a multi defendant catastrophic injury case. I knew there was a likelihood that the case would need to be tried and that several contentious issues would need to be briefed and argued in preparation for the expected appeal should we prevail. Although our trial team was extremely experienced, we lacked the appellate component I knew we would eventually need. Morgan came highly recommended from someone whose opinion I highly valued. I decided to bring Morgan in as we prepared to respond to the principal defendant’s motion for summary judgment. Shortly thereafter, the remaining defendant had also filed an MSJ. Morgan was immediately ready to thoroughly discuss the MSJ issues and review the volumes of evidence we had uncovered throughout nearly two years of litigation. Her briefing was clear and concise. She was easy to work with and quickly became a critical part of our trial team moving forward. The MSJ’s were subsequently denied, and the case ended in a high seven figure settlement at mediation. No doubt Morgan’s efforts and readiness to be part of our team till the end made a difference.”

“I have been on legal teams and worked with Morgan on a number of cases over the years, and I also consider Morgan a dear friend. Morgan is such a thoughtful, creative, brilliant lawyer, appellate advocate and legal writer! She is always thinking one step ahead procedurally, and I know I can always count on great quality work when we are on a case together. Morgan weaves together legal brilliance and her procedural knowledge with a deep care for the people behind the cases too.”

“Morgan is a thoroughly dedicated professional. She has helped us defeat numerous motions for summary judgment. In fact, she even provides us a checklist to make sure we do everything possible to prove up all elements of our case. She has helped us move our appellate cases forward quickly due to her tireless work ethic and attention to detail. She is also a delight to work with and always considerate and professional.”
