History of the firm
we earned the trust of thousands by doing everything we can to get what they deserve
Morris & Dewett began in 2001 in Shreveport, LA, by attorney Mr. Trey Morris. Quickly, the firm found its niche in personal injury law and its edge with trial preparation and litigation. As a plaintiff law firm, the initial challenge was to succeed against larger, more established firms and corporations. The key was preparation. A firm has to spend time and money on experts, jury analysis, focus groups, and document review to force the defense to come to the table with a fair offer and necessary compensation. Good preparation lets the opposing counsel know that they cannot steamroll the little guy.
Morris & Dewett has a reputation as a dedicated personal injury trial firm that works harder than anyone to win cases. Serving our clients is our highest calling, and we passionately advocate for their needs and interests. The injured, especially victims of negligence, have a story to tell, and we owe it to them to listen. Morris & Dewett is proud to help our clients tell their stories in their communities or in court.

Morris & Dewett Injury Lawyers represent injured people. We built our practice on thorough trial preparation and concrete results, not vague promises.
Every case is prepared for trial with independent investigations, expert witnesses, depositions, and mock trials. We fund all case expenses internally, which keeps investigations under our direct control and ensures consistent quality.
Our trial record speaks for itself. We’ve secured multiple seven, eight, and nine-figure verdicts and settlements for our clients. Insurance companies recognize our name because we’ve proven we’ll take cases to trial when they refuse fair settlement offers. This reputation leads to settlements in approximately 95% of cases without requiring a trial.
Over half of our cases come from attorney referrals. Other lawyers trust us to achieve results for their clients while treating everyone involved with professionalism and respect. We’ve also received more than 2,000 five-star reviews across our office locations.
Our approach focuses on specific, measurable outcomes. We investigate thoroughly, negotiate based on documented losses including medical expenses and lost wages, and litigate when necessary. Choose representation backed by concrete experience, not empty promises.
No One Has More
With over 1400+ five star reviews, our clients have further proven why we are a top personal injury firm that you can count on.
Martindale-Hubbell® awarded the firm an AV® rating – its highest achievable honor from the organization. Some of our experienced attorneys are even members of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum®, a select group that has secured at least $1 million for clients through successful settlements and verdicts. Founding partner Mr. Morris was named the 2023 Lawyer of the Year from the Top 100 Registry, a prestigious award highlighting the nation’s best attorneys. The firm’s founders are also part of Super Lawyers, a rating service of outstanding lawyers with a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement.
In the wake of a severe accident, there are several important issues that all parties must address. Unfortunately, victims of accidents often cannot focus on their or their families’ recovery and handle all the associated legal affairs. Morris & Dewett developed a legal workflow that navigates the legal complexities of bringing a case to completion. A priority in the process is communication and keeping the client fully informed. The burden is taken off the client but keeps them fully informed and included in the legal process. It frees our clients to focus on their health, recovery, and caring for their families.
The process starts when a client retains Morris & Dewett. We go to work and relieve the clients of the legal burdens while helping them gain the proper medical attention. We contact the other party’s insurance company, investigate the evidence in the case, contact all relevant witnesses, line up expert testimony, depose opposition witnesses, and ultimately bring the case to a satisfactory conclusion.
Morris & Dewett is available around the clock for current and future clients. We will listen to any case and offer our confidential and no-obligation counsel. We never charge for consultations; if we do not win for the client, they do not pay. Call now to get help from one of our experienced attorneys.
