Ian Morse is a great guy. I called asking for help, and he was genuine and spent an hour with me on the free consultation. He was not just trying to get me to take out my checkbook like a lot of other lawyers in the area. He did not even take me as a client but still spent plenty of time providing me with great information. He even told me I could use his name if I was interviewed by police.

Defending Your Rights: FAQs
What are my rights if I am arrested?
If you are arrested, you have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. It is important to clearly state your desire for legal counsel and to refrain from answering questions without an attorney present. These rights are designed to protect you during legal proceedings.
Can I represent myself in court?
While you have the right to represent yourself, it is not advisable. Criminal defense is complex and having a skilled attorney increases your chances of a favorable outcome. An experienced defense attorney understands the legal system, can negotiate on your behalf, and will work to protect your rights.
What types of cases do you handle?
We handle a wide range of criminal cases, including DUI, drug offenses, assault, theft, white-collar crimes, and more. Our team has experience in both misdemeanor and felony cases, providing tailored defense strategies for each unique situation.
What should I bring to my first meeting?
Bring any relevant documents such as police reports, court notices, bail papers, and correspondence related to your case. It's also helpful to write down your recollection of events and any questions you have. This information aids us in understanding your case and designing a defense plan.
