Attorney Information

Overview

Originally wanting to practice corporate law, Alison K. Morriss had a change of heart during law school when she volunteered with a family law attorney at a legal aid clinic.

“I really fell in love with working one-on-one with a client, helping them through one of the worst experiences of their life, and being able to see the positive results,” she said.

A crucial aspect of being a successful attorney is creating a relationship where a client feels they can trust their attorney, according to Ms. Morriss.

“We have to know all the details, no matter how seemingly insignificant, and that requires open and honest communication between both the attorney and the client,” she said.
