    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 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.

    Kevin is the best attorney in Central Illinois. His experience and knowledge are second to none. If…read moreyou need an attorney who knows how it is done in the courtroom. Call Kevin!!

    An amazing person, very caring and passionate about her job! She will go beyond and further to help…read moreher clients. Maureen is the type of person you would want to help you in your case. Defense lawyer is not just a job to her, it's way more than just a job to her. She actually cares and listens.

    Atty Maureen Williams is not who she portrays to be this loving, caring, listening, the mission…read morestatement is a bunch of bull! I hired Maureen in Jan to do a case review for a post-conviction for my boyfriend. she charged me 7500 just for the review. I assume she was a good Atty from her reviews. This is farthest from the truth. I asked three questions that were important to me. How long will this review take? will she get the transcripts? and how will you handle his upcoming court date? Her reply was it will take approximately 6 mo. she will get his transcripts and will make an appearance on his behalf. As of 4/24/22 nothing has been done!! NO transcripts. (how can u review if you don't have the facts!!) She called me the day before his court date to ask what this was regarding. (as an atty u cant figure this out} she informed me that she couldn't go because she is still reviewing his case. Remember Maureen didn't say any of this when I asked! no actions have been taken she claims she thought her team was on it. Maureen also sends you highlights of your conversations but I noticed that anything that you have an issue with she doesn't address it, in the notes she sends you. only things that she assumes are going well. For the money that I have paid I expect more, I have since fired Maureen and awaiting my refund of 7500. she stated that she has to charge for her time. I am thinking timing doing what? lying!! I will definitely be filing a complaint with the bar association/ supreme court for her dishonest behavior. There is a ton more but just to give you a glimpse of her character. RUN When you see The office of Maureen Williams you will not regret it!!

Charged higher hourly rate than what they quoted me. Used obscene language and insulted me multiple times. Con artists from my experience.

    This firm employs questionable ethics. I was in need of an attorney for a business and divorce…read morecase. I was assured that the attorney I was assigned was top of the line. For a year and a half I was strung along with no progress in my case, terrible communication, and this feeling that I just couldn't shake that something was off. All of this after being confidently assured the case would be resolved in three months. I paid this firm more than $26,000 before realizing they were accomplishing nothing more than draining my already strained bank account. As it turns out, the attorney working my case had been disbarred TWICE for ethical violations, including lying and falsification of evidence. They are now suing me for an unpaid attorney fees totaling a little more than $5000 (plus interest). Remember, I already paid over $26,000. Despite being sued, I have no intention of paying the remaining balance because I have strong reason to believe there is evidence they violated our contract. In fact, I may have a counterclaim against them. In addition, the wife of the owner is now harassing and threatening via digital messages due to my negative reviews of their firm. I am aware that libel is a serious offense, and I have made sure everything I have said has been absolutely true. I am just hoping to save anyone, like myself, who finds themselves in a difficult legal situation from wasting their time and money with this firm. Good luck and please beware. As a postscript to all this, my suspicions about this firm were confirmed when I hired a great law firm who swiftly took charge, won my case, and showed me how true professionals operate.

    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!
