Gary L Morris Attorney At Law

(2 reviews)

Exceptional Representation from Start to Finish…read more Working with Gary Morris was one of the best decisions I've ever made. From our very first consultation, they were attentive, strategic, and genuinely committed to understanding every detail of my case. They walked me through the legal process with clarity and patience--breaking things down in a way that made me feel informed and confident every step of the way. Their communication was consistent, their professionalism was top-tier, and when it came time to show up in court? They were absolutely prepared and commanding. What really stood out to me was their integrity. I never felt like "just another client." They advocated for me like they truly cared about the outcome, and it showed. The results exceeded my expectations, and I'm incredibly grateful. If you're looking for an attorney who's sharp, dependable, and relentless in the pursuit of justice--this is the one. I'd recommend Gary Morris without hesitation to anyone who needs strong, trustworthy legal representation.

I had the privelage of seeing Gary Morris at action. A close friend recently had him. I cant tell…read moreyou how moved I was at the passion he has and the passion his Paralegal Robert had in working on this case and delivering a spetacular defense. He is honest and passionate about his work. He wont lie to you and he will fight so hard and investigate where no one else would think of investigating. He is so quick and extremely intelligent. If you need a good defense and a hardworking passionate honest lawyer, Gary Morris will help you when no one else will. The thing that impressed me the most about him he is not afraid to go after anyone who deserves it whether it be personal or political. He is fearless and mighty.

I hired Kevin Sullivan of Peoria for a federal Clean Air Act matter. He quoted $50,000 to handle…read morethe entire case. I paid $25,000 upfront. In my experience the representation was extremely limited, roughly two hours of work. He took no notes that could be provided to subsequent counsel. Despite multiple phone and in-person requests, I never received any invoice or detailed billing statement, and I received no refund of any unearned portion of the $25,000. I had to retain other attorneys (including counsel from Sidley Austin and a North Carolina firm) to dig out of the situation, at a total cost approaching $1 million. I later received a full presidential pardon from the President of the United States for the underlying charges. Prospective clients should insist on clear written fee agreements, regular detailed billing, and actual work product before paying large retainers. My experience was highly unsatisfactory.

I retained Kevin Sullivan expecting competent criminal defense. What I received instead was total…read morenon-performance. Over the course of my representation, no meaningful discovery review was done, no strategic analysis was provided, and no serious negotiation with the prosecution occurred. I personally organized and presented the discovery in my case, which was largely disregarded. Despite this, I was repeatedly told that achieving a reasonable outcome was "impossible." Shortly thereafter, Mr. Sullivan withdrew from my case. Here's the part that matters most: new counsel achieved the exact outcome I was seeking in under one week--an outcome Mr. Sullivan insisted could not be done. That contrast speaks for itself. I'll say this carefully but honestly: perhaps Kevin Sullivan was a strong attorney 10-15 years ago, but based on my experience, he appears mentally checked out, disengaged, and unwilling to put in the work required today. The level of advocacy I received felt perfunctory at best. To make matters worse, despite minimal substantive work, my retainer was not promptly refunded, requiring further follow-up on my end. This experience was costly--not just financially, but in time, stress, and unnecessary uncertainty. If you are looking for an attorney who will actively engage with your case, thoroughly review discovery, and fight for outcomes rather than managing expectations downward, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. This review is written so others don't have to learn the hard way.

I think Jay should learn to pronounce Illinois before he does another commercial. It is ILL IN OYE,…read morenot ELL IN OYE. He isn't alone., the newscasters in this city can't even pronounce it correctly. At least they aren't saying ELLINOISE. :-) A niece call his offices to discuss a Workman's comp issue. She said, probably because she didn't appear to be aggressive (wanting to stick it to her employer), he asked is she just wanted him to pour a bucket of money on her head. I steered her to an attorney who is an expert in this field and a Christian who respected the fact that she didn't want more than she was entitled to for compensation.

I signed on with this Law Firm for my personal injury case almost seven years ago! It took them 19…read moremonths to even file the case in court. Since that time they have lost my file three times, they have reassigned me to four different attorneys in The Firm, and I recently they have just totally transfer my case to a completely different lawyer outside of the law firm without discussing that with me or even sending me a letter to let me know that happened. This is the worst Law Firm ever! You got Jay Janssen on TV all the time saying how good he is and how good his firm is yet 7 years later they just throw my case off to somebody else and don't even give a regard to me! Stay away from this law firm as much as you can! All they will do is waste your time and until you can't do nothing legally with your case anymore! I am stuck with over $100,000 medical bill because of this guy not tending to his duties as an attorney!
