We are extremely thankful for Josh Powell and this firm! All the hard work and attention to my case put us a little more at ease. Awesome, awesome people! I highly recommend Josh Powell and Morris & Dewett.
My experience with Mr. Powell & his team was excellent. Prompt communication, transparency, & empathy we’re just a few of the characteristics displayed by everyone I encountered. Highly recommend them to anyone unsure of how to navigate the legal world. Thanks!
Morris & Dewett was such a pleasure to do business with. Josh and his staff, Claire and Darbi were all professional and worked very hard on my case. They made this process so easy for me and the outcome was above and beyond. I highly recommend this firm to anyone. Thank you Josh, Claire and Darbi.
I was very pleased with my outcome! Mr. Josh Powell and his team handled everything from start to finish! Stayed in contact with me every step of the way with updates! Even when I would text Mr. Powell he would respond very quickly to get me the answer I was looking for! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM! I couldn’t be more satisfied with their services! Thank you for everything you guys did!
Easy communication and constantly kept us in the loop the entire time! Felt comfortable knowing Josh had our best interest in mind throughout the whole process and would go the extra mile for us. Highly recommend.
The staff at Morris and Dewett handled all the legal matters with the opposing Insurance co. from the very beginning and in a professional manner. They set me up with good doctors and followed up regularly with me on my healing process. My case was settled fairly, and an unpleasant trial was avoided. I would recommend the Morris and Dewett Law Firm to anyone who needs their services. Big thanks go out to Trey, Josh, Darbi and the entire staff at M&D.
