Julianne Morgan uses her personal experience as a child of divorced parents to relate to the strenuous and stressful ordeal her clients are going through.

Though she offers her clients support, empathy, and encouragement, Ms. Morgan said her main role throughout the process is to act as an advocate.

“At all times, my number one priority is to passionately and effectively advocate for my client to accomplish the goals we have established,” she said.

Her refusal to accept the status quo was never more evident than when a father she represented was awarded primary custody after originally being given limited visitation at the temporary orders hearing.

“I feel that I am able to provide my clients with not only valuable experience in family law but a clear and realistic perspective on the issues they are facing and an effective strategy to accomplish their goals,” Ms. Morgan said.

Kelly L. Burris got into family law to help people instead of corporations.

“I wanted to be able to help people get through these tough situations in their lives and do it the right way,” she said.

Ms. Burris has settled and litigated complex custody cases and property cases involving multi-million dollar estates. She has also successfully litigated child custody relocation cases.

Ms. Burris said those experiences allow her to inform her clients of the best possible options and do what is right for them in each case.

“It is important to have an attorney that can understand and be supportive of you throughout the process while doing what is necessary to protect your interests and your children’s interests through litigation or settlement,” Ms. Burris said.
