Morris, Haynes & Hornsby

All people deserve to be treated justly with dignity and respect, regardless of race, creed, gender, religion or social standing. The seventh amendment to the United States Constitution preserves the right to trial by jury. All individuals who deserve redress for wrongful death, personal injury and other wrongdoing shall be represented by motivated and competent legal counsel. Lawsuits benefit the public by forcing corporations to deal straightforwardly, to make safer products, provide a safer workplace, a clean environment, and quality health care.

The Vision.
The Commitment.
The Resources.

In 1991, after more than two decades of successful trial law practice, Larry Morris set-out to build a firm around a concentrated core of attorneys with superior trial skills. His goal: to represent the victims of wrongdoing and injury in their claims against the powerful corporations of the world with an absolute commitment to the highest principles of professionalism and advocacy.

Through unwavering devotion to these principles, Morris, Haynes & Hornsby stands today as a firm recognized throughout the legal community for its courtroom achievements. Moreover, by focusing on larger, more complex litigation matters, they have consciously maintained a caseload which enables their attorneys to invest the time, energy and resources needed to serve each client’s personal interests in holding corporate wrongdoers accountable for their negligence and misdeeds.
