Now, your job and your family’s well-being are on the line with a jury often deciding your fate.
In the court’s eyes, you’re now considered a “repeat offender” and are addicted to alcohol and/or drugs.

Mr. Morris happened to be the second lawyer that I contacted. The first lawyer said he would take my case for a $10K retainer fee and that I had a long road ahead of me. The next day, I contacted Mr. Morris and knew from our first conversation that I was in good hands with his representation. Stop shopping around and hire Barton Morris today!
