Profile

Kenneth M. Morris has accumulated more than 39 years of high-level, first-chair trial experience. He earned his B.A. from the University of Oklahoma (with distinction) where he served as Student Body President, and his J.D. from the SMU Law School, where he was Order of the Coif and a Hatton W. Sumners Scholar.

Ken has been selected a Texas Super Lawyer every year, and he is one of the very few (68 out of more than 85,000) Texas lawyers certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in both Civil Appellate Law and Civil Trial Law.

Ken brings sustained relentless preparation to the trial and resolution of significant lawsuits.  He thrives on righting wrongs against insurance companies, greedy institutions, and arrogant bullies.

From intense negotiations to courtroom combat through high-level appeals, Ken commits his time, toil, and talent to correct injustice.
