Her expertise includes guiding clients through issues such as domestic violence, parentage, support, and community property disputes.

Experience & Background

Morgan is known for her proactive approach to advancing her clients’ cases. Her meticulous organization and consistent communication ensure that her clients stay informed and complete the necessary steps to achieve successful outcomes, whether through court rulings or negotiated settlements.

Her attention to detail sets her apart from many other family law attorneys. Morgan treats each client with care, seeing them not just as cases but as individuals she is personally committed to helping. Her methodical approach, combined with a genuine investment in her clients’ well-being, enables her to achieve favorable results time and again.

While Morgan is highly effective at negotiating settlements, she does not hesitate to take a case to court if necessary. She takes pride in her advocacy skills, which have led to significant victories for her clients, including:

  • Financial Reimbursement Case: Morgan secured over $122,000 in reimbursements for her client after a full-day evidentiary hearing, thanks to her thorough preparation of mortgage statements, bank records, and receipts, and impactful courtroom advocacy.
  • Child Support Case: Working with a CPA, Morgan successfully reduced her client’s child support arrears from $151,000 to zero by proving incorrect calculations and ensuring equitable credit for periods of reconciliation.
  • Paternity Case: She convinced the court to set aside a paternity judgment after demonstrating that her client had not been properly served and had never undergone the required genetic testing.
  • Domestic Violence Case: Morgan won a one-year restraining order for her client after successfully presenting evidence of emotional harm caused by the abuser. Her compassionate client interviews helped the court understand the impact of the abuse.

Morgan is skilled in handling cases involving income imputation, Gavron warnings, and the use of vocational evaluators. She frequently collaborates with financial experts such as forensic accountants and CPAs to protect her clients’ interests in complex financial matters, including the characterization of RSUs, valuation of business interests, and child support disputes.

In domestic violence cases, Morgan advocates passionately for both victims and those wrongfully accused. She believes these cases require a nuanced understanding and works diligently to ensure that the court correctly interprets the facts. Morgan is particularly dedicated to fighting for fathers’ rights and ensuring that children feel loved and supported by both parents.

Advocacy for Children and Special Needs Families

Morgan is particularly passionate about advocating for the best interests of children in custody cases. She takes pride in crafting personalized parenting plans that address the emotional and developmental needs of the children involved, particularly in cases with infants, special needs children, or behavioral challenges.

Morgan’s unique background in special education law makes her especially skilled at handling cases involving special needs children. Having grown up assisting her mother, a Special Education teacher, and working with school districts after law school, she understands the complexities of the IEP system and how to advocate effectively for special needs students. Her deep understanding of both the parents’ and school district’s perspectives allows her to navigate these cases with exceptional insight, ensuring her clients’ children receive the support and benefits they need.
