BIOGRAPHY
Our founder, Richard L. Morris, is a lifelong Minnesotan who started Morris Law Group in 2002. Dick practices primarily Minnesota real estate law, commercial law, and civil litigation. His 40 years of legal experience has earned him a reputation for unwavering commitment to his clients and the Edina community. He is considered among the best in Minnesota in his areas of practice.
“For me, success comes with a longtime commitment to top-notch legal services,” Dick says. “That’s why our clients come back to us over and over again — and they refer us to their friends. I’m proud of that.”
Before founding Morris Law Group, Dick was a senior partner of Morris, Carlson and Hoelscher, P.A., a firm focusing on real estate litigation and bankruptcy. Prior to that, he was a senior partner in Morris, Fuller and Seaver, P.A., a real estate, commercial litigation, and bankruptcy firm.
