Verified ClientHired Attorney 2023Had there been an option to award 6 stars I would have done so: Frank and Patrick Anderson's determinative persistence in rendering a compelling argument to an impartial jury resulted in an indisputable verdict in my favor. Every aspect of the case was examined in minute detail and was substantiated by expert witness testimony from a team of specialists specifically selected for their expertise in a complicated medical malpractice filing. The defense team, assembled from a major hospital, attempted, unsuccessfully, to dispute each and every argument, all of which were immediately countered with case precedent, additional evidence, and unassailable data. Morrissey Legal Group will provide unrivaled excellence in your representation.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
