About

I am an attorney who has built a career around advocacy and litigation.  I am a  life long resident of Philadelphia and utilize the associated vigor in my practice .  My practice is concentrated in toxic tort, personal injury, and workers' compensation.  Currently, I am licensed to practice law in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey.  I also am a certified arbitrator and mediator for the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia. In 2005 I earned my Bachelor of Science in Labor and Industrial Relations from Pennsylvania State University, University Park Campus. I then attended Rutgers School of Law-Camden, graduating in 2009. During law school, I was an intern at the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office and certified by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to represent the Office in court. Throughout law school, I was heavily involved in the Trial Advocacy Competition Team and was a founding member and teacher of a trial competition class.  Upon graduation, I was awarded the Philadelphia Trial Lawyers Association James J. Manderino Award for Trial Advocacy, which is awarded to one graduate from each of the Philadelphia law schools who has shown outstanding abilities in the area of trial advocacy. Following law school, I was an associate at a small firm in Philadelphia and then a law clerk for the late, Honorable David E. Krell in the Superior Court of New Jersey. Subsequently I was a law clerk in the Complex Litigation Center in the Civil Trial Division, First Judicial District, Court of the Common Pleas of Pennsylvania, assigned to the Honorable Ricardo C. Jackson, S.J..   In my present position at Swartz Campbell I maintain a wide range of matters in the practice areas of asbestos litigation, person injury, workers' compensation.  I have had the pleasure of handling matters on both the plaintiff and defense sides of the table.  This has given me a unique perspective and greatly influenced how I advocate and negotiate. I take great pride in my work and am always available to speak to a client or someone seeking legal counsel.  I presently live in the Graduate Hospital neighborhood of Philadelphia with my wife and pit-bull rescue.

Mr Morlok was a fantastic lawyer. Before any court date, we sat down and discussed the case at hand. His opinions, advice, and recommendations were excellent. After our first court date, he insisted we kept in contact, and met in person a few more times to make sure things get handled correctly. In our meetings, we went over everything more than once to make sure we were on the same page with the best direction to be going headed into court. Mr Morlok was extremely professional and explained every detail as many times as needed to make sure I understood what was going to happen while sitting on trail. We both went over my testimony over the phone when I wasent availiable, and during meetings. Very flexible hours to acme date my work schedule. At our last court date, I didn't have to do anything except show up, he took care of everything from start to finish flawlessly. I would recommend William Morlok to any individual seeking a lawyer. I hope not to need him again in the future but if a situation arises, I know who to call without hesitation.

Mr. Morlok is an intelligent, passionate, and extremely talented attorney who I would absolutely recommend to anyone seeking legal advice. We have contacted Bill on many occasions for a variety of reasons, and in every interaction he listens to our concerns, provides thoughtful insight backed by case law and other resources, and skillfully advises us on the best course of action. Bill provides impeccable customer service, is easily accessible, and devotes individualized attention to our needs and concerns. If there is an issue out of his realm of expertise, Bill consults with peers in the field and/or makes referrals. Bill is a strong advocate, and it is clear that he puts his clients’ needs first: he is a good teacher, always ensuring we understand the process; a detailed communicator, continually keeping us informed; and a skillful negotiator, confidently putting our minds at ease. I highly recommend Mr. Morlok as a lawyer and cannot thank him enough for his years of advice and hard work on our behalf.

Bill was a consummate professional in my dealings with him on a recent legal matter. Prompt, attentive, and he clearly enjoys what he does! Most of all, I often find lawyers to be intimidating and stern, but Bill was easy to speak with and very much a people person, which goes a long way toward making the stress and complexity of sorting out a legal issue that much easier to handle. I would not hesitate to reach out to him again if I ever needed additional assistance from a legal professional.
