Morris, Michael C.

"I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death." Thomas Paine

I was born in Dekalb County and was raised in Rockdale County, Georgia. I graduated from Heritage High School and obtained a BS degree in Music Industry Management from Georgia State University in 1999. While working full time as a Real Estate Title Examiner, I obtained my Juris Doctorate degree from John Marshall Law School. In 2000, I passed the State of Georgia tests for Property and Casualty Insurance as well as Life and Health Insurance.

I consider my practice of law as a general civil practice with a concentration in Real Estate litigation and Contract litigation. My Title Examining background provides me with a solid foundation concerning contract and real estate legal matters. And he also assists the firm's concentration in domestic law cases, as well as cases involving wrongful denial of insurance benefits.

I believe, as an attorney, that it is my duty to provide the possibility for disputes to be resolved without a waste of time, money or resources. While I enjoy the give and take of the Court Room and feel strongly that litigation has its place, most cases can be settled without the added expense of a bench or jury trial. I feel mediation and negotiation should be the cornerstone of a successful law practice, with litigation being the last resort.
