J. Wil Morris Esq.
Mr. Morris, was admitted as a member of the New York and Florida Bar in 1992 and 1995, respectively.

At the University of Miami, Mr. Morris was a Member of the Inter-American Law Review, and served as an Associate Justice of the Moot Court Board.
Upon graduation from law school, Mr. Morris worked in the New York offices of the prestigious law firm of Baker & McKenzie.
As a young Associate, in addition to being involved with representing international clients in complex litigation matters, Mr. Morris authored “Service of Process In Switzerland,” New York Law Journal, Page 3, Column 1, October 17, 1991, reprinted in 1 New & Burrows, The Practice of International Litigation, 1992; “Obtaining Evidence from U.S. Nationals Abroad,” New York Law Journal, Page 3, Column 1, October 21, 1993.
In 1994, Mr. Morris relocated to Miami, Florida where he took a job with the boutique litigation firm known as Tew, Cardinas, et al. In 1997, and as a precursor to opening his own firm, Mr. Morris briefly joined the firm of Isicoff & Ragatz as a Senior Litigation Associate.
Mr. Morris opened his own firm as a sole practitioner in 1999 offering a broad array of legal services from civil litigation to criminal matters. It was while being a sole practitioner that in 2009 Mr. Morris began focusing, almost exclusively, on the mortgage crisis and ultimately joined forces with other attorneys and formed the precursor to what was Morris | duPont, PA and then Morris | Barrow LLP – a full-service consumer law practice. Mr. Morris now practices without partners at Morris Legal, LLC.
In addition to being certified in defending foreclosure cases up through the appellate process, Mr. Morris is a seasoned litigator who has handled and tried cases involving complex commercial transactions, personal injury, civil rights and criminal issues.

As the name suggests, the Home Mortgage Law Show addressed issues affecting homeowners as well as all other consumer related topics, including bankruptcy, debt settlement and credit restoration.
For the past two years, Mr. Morris has been an appointed member of the Miami-Dade County Planning Advisory Board which is tasked with making recommendations – following a televised public hearing – to the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners relating to zoning and other matters.
