About

I am your neighborhood attorney.  I have been in practice for 11 years.  My experience includes the United States Marine Corps, large firms, and small firms, but I began my solo practice because the only people I like to work for are my clients.  I am a single parent who successfully fought for equal time with my young daughter.  I have extensive trial and appellate experience and cannot wait to help you with your legal problems.

Tom has been advising me regarding my post-divorce custody and support issues for almost 8 years. Tom has always been responsive when an issue has arisen. His advice on many situations, some trivial (although not to me) and some major has kept me out of court and kept my children happy and safe despite these situations. Family issues are tough and it can be even more tough to trust someone else to give you advice on how to deal with them. Tom has earned my trust and I wouldn't hire anyone else. I highly recommend him.

I highly recommend Thomas as an attorney. He has handled three separate legal cases for me, all of which he has won. Not long ago, I came across some hard times and was not able to pay my creditors. I consulted with a few attorneys and was told to just to file bankruptcy. I then heard about Thomas from a friend who had used him for her divorce and also a similar lawsuit to mine, so I met with him. He made no promises and was up front that it would be a difficult legal battle, but it was worth a shot. He has since successfully defended all three creditors suits that were filed against me for delinquent debts. This man is brilliant. Words cannot express how grateful I am to have found and hired him to assist me. He is truly awesome and I recommend him to anyone in needing assistance from an attorney. I have never posted a review before, but had to share the news about this lawyer. I will forever use him as my attorney If I ever need one again, without hesitation. He was excellent.

Thomas Morton is an exceptional attorney, His integrity is unmatched and will always give his client the most honest case analyst. He was extremely caring about the welfare of my children which was a comfort in these darkest times. Mr. Morton went up against a very aggressive, overly confident opposing attorney during my case during which Tom was collected and tactically sound throughout. I can never give Tom enough praise for the positive outcome of my divorce.

In 2017, I began a divorce I had been praying for, Pro Per and broke, and petitioned for the safety of my children and I. Following my petition, came a laundry list of heartbreaking and untrue allegations from the opposing party, in addition to harassment from my ex and my ex's new partner. Thomas Morton was assigned by my judge as the Court Appointed Advisor, to investigate both sides and our allegations. I was terrified of the thought of meeting this CAA (Mr. Morton), since I retained very few records and reports to support my claims (mostly because my ex destroyed them while living together). I figured it would be my word against my ex's, and what I had been through was worse than fiction, and the person I was divorcing had not treated me like a human. Thomas Morton intimidated me during our first interview. He is sobering to speak to, and confident in his speech. He already had a long list of VERY specific questions for me, based on research he had already completed prior to ever meeting. Some of his questions I didn't know how to answer without losing my composure, and I figured that was going to look bad on me. Alas, here is my review: Thomas Morton is exceptionally thorough, and his meticulous work (on a case he was assigned to pro-bono), saved my children. Thomas Morton found records that I had not seen in years, without being asked to look for them. His report was factually stated, and even though I still disagree with some of his assessments about me, he was fair in being critical of my faults that were true. Everything he said he was going to do, he did; including randomly drug testing me, drug testing those close to me, showing up at my house unexpected at night to see my living conditions, and speaking to management at my work about me. To this day, I am thankful to the point of tears that he followed through, because only someone dedicated to digging like Me. Morton, could have seen what I saw, and realized the reason I was scared. It hurts to read a powerful man critique you, but honest men cultivate fair justice. I see Thomas Morton as brutally honest with a cause. My judge commented MULTIPLE times that Mr. Morton's report was one of the most thorough and significant reports he had ever read. If my memory serves me well, his first report alone was 43 pages. I've read it many times. Mr. Morton was not my attorney, and therefore, he said things about me (and believed an opinion about me that I still consider untrue) that I could choose to be bitter about. However, it's impossible to feel negative toward someone so dedicated to a just ruling. He brought out the facts in an unbiased way, made fair recommendations to the court, and ultimately was the voice that helped secure my children's safety. Thank you Mr. Morton. For doing incredible work, for being fair, and for providing a body of work that helped to save my children. I pray for you often, and recommend you even more. Thank you.

I originally met with Mr Morton about a complex child support collection issue. In a matter of months, he was able to successfully do what the State of Arizona was unable to do in almost 2 decades. Mr Morton has the best interest of the CHILD - hence 'child support' - in mind. He was able to locate assets, collect assets and imagine this- locate the other parent for this process. I also used Mr Morton for a second matter and he was just as effective, professional and ethical. I would highly recommend Mr Morton.

Mr. Thomas Morton has helped me throughout the years with my child custody/child support issues and I had excellent results. He handled everything so professionally and in a timely manner. He also helped me with some of my divorce issues. I have recommended him to my co-workers throughout the years for different issues and they have told me he was able to help them. I highly recommend Mr. Thomas Morton for any family issues and child custody issues. As well as any other issues that he may be able to help with.

He handled my child support/post divorce custody case. He was very informative and gave realistic expectations based on his vast experience in the field. He made me feel comfortable through a very uncomfortable process and situation. I have already recommended him to a close friend and I will be recommending him in the future to anyone who may need it.
