About Us

Why Choose Us?

We could say you should choose our law firm because we take such great care of our clients. Of course, that’s not very objective of us. However, we believe the following facts make us uniquely qualified to be the Lafayette law firm our neighbors turn to in their most challenging times.

Extensive Legal Experience

Every attorney at every law firm will tell you that they have experience. Of course, very few have the extensive experience shared by those at The Law Office of Tony Morrow. When we say “30 years serving the community,” we don’t mean 30 combined years. Our law firm opened in 1991. Each of our attorneys — and even our paralegal — has decades of legal experience. We have the knowledge, education, and commitment necessary to serve our community and help our clients achieve their desired results.

Multi-Faceted Approach to the Law

Many attorneys take pride in saying that they “specialize” in particular legal areas. Most people don’t realize that the legal system is intricate and overlapping. Someone accused of an attack could face criminal and personal injury cases — or the death of a loved one could necessitate a wrongful death filing and updates to family law matters. That’s why our law firm offers various legal services — to give our clients everything they need in one place.

Local Experience

Experience is important for the overall legal process, but local experience pays significant dividends. Attorneys who call Lafayette home have professional relationships with local judges, attorneys, investigators, prosecutors, and other individuals who are intricately involved in the legal system. All our team members have called Lafayette their home for decades.

Keeping Clients Informed

Far too many law firms treat their clients as disposable. They ignore calls and only reach out to them when necessary. Our law firm doesn’t think that’s the proper way to fight for justice. Each of our clients is treated individually with respect. We hold ourselves responsible for keeping them informed, and sometimes, we have to deliver hard truths. We never mislead our clients or keep them in the dark. From consultation to verdict, we’re here with you.

The Opportunity for Mediation

When it comes to the law, there are certain inalienable truths. For one, there’s the fact that avoiding court is the best way to save money. This is true for plaintiffs, defendants, and anyone involved in an ongoing legal matter. Our Lafayette law firm will take any case to trial if it’s necessary to improve a client’s life. However, attorney Tony Morrow is also a certified mediator for family law issues. Domestic matters can make it challenging to be patient, and in some instances, mediation simply won’t work. Still, having the option of reaching an amicable solution is always a positive thing.

Industry Respect

Each attorney at our law firm knows what it’s like to face and overcome difficult legal challenges. We are hyper-focused throughout the entire process of every case we take, and that’s why our clients have given us a stellar rating on Google. However, we’re also recognized by our peers in the legal industry. Our attorneys have various professional affiliations and have received several awards and honors. Attorney Tony Morrow was even elected to serve as Director on the Board of Directors for the Lafayette Parish Bar Association and as President of the Lafayette Parish Trial Lawyers.

Frequently Asked Questions

To get answers specific to your case, scheduling a consultation at our Lafayette law firm is important. However, the following general answers may give you a better idea of what to expect.

What if I’m partially at fault in my personal injury case?

It’s not uncommon for us to have an actual client ask this question in our offices. Fortunately, shared liability does not forfeit your right to recover lost wages, medical expenses, and other personal injury damages. Louisiana’s comparative negligence rules dictate that victims can recover compensation for their injuries even if they contributed to them. An eventual court award will simply be reduced by the claimant’s percentage of fault.

What can I recover in a personal injury case?

Many people don’t realize how much they can recover in a personal injury case. Economic losses such as property damage, medical bills, and lost wages are only the tip of the iceberg. You may also be entitled to non-economic damages for losses such as pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment in life, and emotional trauma. It’s sometimes even possible to secure additional compensation when the courts rule that punitive damages are appropriate.

Do I need a criminal defense attorney for a plea deal?

Prosecutors may try to convince you that taking a plea deal is in your best interest. In fact, such plea deals sometimes are the right decision. However, you should never sign any agreement without first having an attorney review your case. Louisiana prosecutors are in the business of securing convictions and strict penalties. This sometimes leads them to overcharge defendants to scare them into a plea deal, often resulting in unfair criminal convictions. Let our Lafayette law firm handle plea negotiations on your behalf.

Do I need an attorney for an uncontested divorce?

Many people assume that an uncontested divorce will be an easy process. Unfortunately, divorce is never simple in our state. Uncontested divorces come with a requirement that former partners live separately for a certain amount of time. Additionally, the legal mandates and paperwork for uncontested divorces can be just as complex as the issues encountered in contested divorces. Therefore, it’s advisable for you to at least speak with an attorney.

Can the decisions of the court be overturned?

Often, the decisions of judges may seem permanent. However, this is rarely the case. In criminal cases, appeals are possible. The same is true for personal injury and family law. Additionally, you can seek order modifications for family law decrees if a significant change in circumstances has occurred. Simply put, you can keep fighting.
