Jeanne Morris

My calling is to provide service to others. One of my greatest strengths as a lawyer is how well I relate to people. I place a high value on my relationships with clients. As a result I have been rewarded with many loyal clients and I achieve positive outcomes for them.

I am a strong client advocate and respected negotiator. I take pride in my keen sense of ethics and high integrity.

Background

I engaged in the general practice of law in the Twin Cities in two small law firms from 1986 to 1996. I started Morris Law Firm in 1996 and continued my general law practice.  In 2024 I joined Lommen Abdo Law Firm, which allows me to spend more time  practicing law and less time running a business. Joining Lommen Abdo Law Firm also gives my clients other attorneys I can refer to or call on to assist.

As a general practitioner, I developed an ability to get up to speed on many areas of law very quickly. As time went on, I gradually narrowed the scope of my practice to the areas of law that are the most rewarding to me.
