Please include all relevant details from your case including where, when, and who it involves. Case details that can effectively describe the legal situation while also staying concise generally receive the best responses from lawyers.

Robert A. Morris, Jr. has been practicing law in Hernando County since 1991 when he started his career as an Assistant State Attorney for the Fifth Judicial Circuit . While working at the State Attorneys Office he prosecuted a variety of crimes including DUI’s, misdemeanors and felony offenses.  Born in Indiana Robert graduated from Culver Military Academy in 1984 and then continued on to received his undergraduate degree from Ball State University located in Muncie, Indiana in 1988.  Robert graduated Law School from Valparaiso University School of Law, which is located a short distance from Chicago Illinois, in 1991.

Robert relocated to Florida after graduation from Law School based upon his work in the horse industry and settled in Ocala where he started his career as a prosecutor.  After taking and passing both the Florida and the Indiana bar exams within two weeks of each other he was assigned to Brooksville, Florida where he has remained ever since.

Robert started his practice in 1994 while living in the back of his office on a side road in Brooksville.  Over the past 14 years his practice has grown into a full service law firm catering to the diverse clientele of the area. Over the past 17+ years he has worked both with, and against the local court systems and County government for the benefit of his clients and has developed an intricate knowledge of the ins and outs of our system
Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.

With my focus on criminal defense, Every case is important, and I can't specify one, nor would it be right to discuss a clients matter in a public forum. I represent many people accused of something they did not do or were having a momentary lapse of judgment. Getting client through the complex legal system and back to their normal lives is what we do, Day in and Day out.

How did you build a successful practice?

Hard work and caring about the outcomes for our clients. If you do good work, the business will come to you!

What should clients look for in a lawyer?

Clients should look for a lawyer with expertise and specialization in their specific legal issue, backed by a track record of success. Reputation and references from past clients and peers are crucial indicators of a lawyer's abilities. Effective communication skills, including responsiveness and clarity, are essential for a smooth attorney-client relationship. Accessibility and availability to address client concerns and questions promptly are key. Finally, a lawyer's fees and billing structure should align with the client's budget and expectations.

How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?

Local knowledge is EXTREAMLY IMPORTANT Local attorneys will know the specific laws and regulations in their jurisdiction. They understand the intricacies of local legal systems, court procedures, and how judges and prosecutors operate. They have experience working in the local courts and have established relationships with judges, prosecutors, and other legal professionals. These relationships can benefit negotiations and court proceedings, as they facilitate more favorable outcomes for their clients. Furthermore, local attorneys are familiar with the local community and culture. This understanding is crucial when building a case strategy, selecting a jury, or dealing with specific local issues that may impact a legal matter. Local attorneys often rely on their reputation within the community for business. They are motivated to provide quality legal services and build client trust because their success depends on word-of-mouth referrals and local recommendations. In summary, a local attorney's knowledge of local laws, familiarity with local courts and procedures, relationships within the legal community, and accessibility make them essential for individuals and businesses seeking legal representation in their jurisdiction. Their expertise and local connections can be invaluable in achieving a positive legal outcome.

What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?

During a consultation, a lawyer can provide you with various types of information and guidance, including: Legal Advice: Lawyers can offer advice on your specific legal situation, explaining the relevant laws and regulations that apply to your case. They can help you understand your rights and responsibilities. Case Assessment: Lawyers can evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of your case. They can discuss the potential outcomes and risks associated with pursuing legal action or defending against a legal claim. Strategy: Lawyers can help you develop a legal strategy tailored to your goals. They can advise you on how to proceed, whether it involves negotiation, settlement, litigation, or alternative dispute resolution methods. Legal Options: Lawyers can explain the various options available to you, including potential alternatives to going to court, such as mediation or arbitration. Costs and Fees: Lawyers can provide information about their fees and billing structures, as well as estimated costs for handling your case. They can also discuss potential fee arrangements, such as hourly rates or contingency fees. Legal Procedures: Lawyers can walk you through the legal process, explaining the steps involved and the timeline for your case. They can also inform you of any filing deadlines or requirements. Risks and Benefits: Lawyers can discuss the potential risks and benefits of pursuing legal action, helping you make an informed decision about how to proceed. Confidentiality: Consultations with lawyers are typically protected by attorney-client privilege, which means that the information you share during the consultation is confidential and cannot be disclosed without your consent. Legal Documentation: If applicable, lawyers can explain the documents and paperwork involved in your case, such as contracts, court filings, or legal agreements. Legal Rights and Responsibilities: Lawyers can educate you about your legal rights and obligations in your specific situation, helping you make informed decisions. It's important to note that during a consultation, you are generally seeking information and advice, and you are not yet entering into a formal attorney-client relationship. If you decide to hire the lawyer after the consultation, you will typically sign an engagement agreement outlining the terms and conditions of the attorney-client relationship. It's advisable to prepare any relevant documents or questions in advance to make the most of your consultation with a lawyer.

What information do you need in a free phone consultation?

We only need to know the general information regarding your case. We usually can obtain the information we need from the Clerk of Court faster than you can.

What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?

I frequently hear other attorneys complain about the practice and their clients. They sound burned out and tired. I, however, love what I do, and I enjoy being in the courtroom and the practice of law.

What is the most rewarding aspect of your job?

The job's most rewarding aspect is helping people going through the most challenging time of their lives.

What are your other interests in addition to law?

I am an instrument-rated pilot with over 2500 hours. I am also an avid boater and fisherman!

Are you involved in your community?

As an attorney, you are always involved in your community. People will always ask for your advice and counsel; that's why your friends become clients, and your clients become friends!
