What you should know about me:

“I represent employers exclusively — I’ve done so for over 27 years. I have my own practice and maintain licenses in both North Carolina and Ohio.

 

“I specialize in employment and labor law — on keeping my clients out of legal trouble so they can focus on their businesses.

 

“My approach is simple: Resolving potential conflict through clear, empathic communication. The result?  Substantial cost savings to my clients.

 

“And if conflict is unavoidable, my clients know that I’m a skilled and passionate advocate who has successfully defended businesses of all sizes in federal and state courts as well as administrative agencies, such as the EEOC.

“Early on, I realized that employers in North Carolina needed simple, practical, step-by-step guidance to keep out of legal trouble — so I began providing customized Employee Handbooks for my clients — the”Morris Handbook“ — a legal handbook used by many North Carolina businesses. 

 

“I’ve been trained in “social health” — increasing the effectiveness of how we interact with others. This simple, practical approach to resolving conflict through “caring communication” results in real-world results: building healthy, nurturing, and supportive business relations for you and your employees.

 

“I have an abiding, affection for the land and people of Western North Carolina, deepened through my work with helping employers in Asheville, Weaverville, Fairview, Waynesville, Black Mountain — in fact all across Buncombe and Henderson Counties. I’m committed to supporting my community personally and professionally. 

 

“So when I’m not busy keeping my clients out of legal trouble, you’ll find me volunteering at homeless shelters, and substance abuse/recovery programs in Asheville and all across Western North Carolina. I’m honored that Pisgah Legal Services and the United Way have recognized me for my volunteer services our community.”
