Morton Law Firm, PLLC

Divorce
Guardianship
Ronald Morton formed the Morton Law Firm in 1997 after leaving his position as General Counsel for one of the largest employers in Mississippi. Morton Law Firm is a full-service law firm located in Clinton, Mississippi, near Jackson with a satellite office in Hattiesburg Mississippi. Providing a quality of representation most often associated with large downtown law firms, Morton Law Firm accepts representation in a full range of civil matters dealing with planning and administering estates, including business planning, estate litigation, guardianship and conservatorship litigation, probate, will contests, asset protection planning, Medicaid planning, estate planning, and elder law. The firm’s particular emphasis is on helping clients protect their wealth, whether the threats arise from creditors, taxes, or nursing home expense and Medicaid recapture. We strive to produce the highest quality representation, bearing in mind at all times the economic, business, and personal concerns and objectives of our clients. The Morton Law Firm provides quality, timely, and aggressive legal representation to its clients at a fair and predictable fee. Through its implementation and reliance on state of the art law office technology, the firm is able to provide efficient and timely service to its clients at accurately estimated costs. In fact, most matters are handled by the firm on a flat fee or percentage of success basis contingent upon results, giving the client certainty and predictability in their anticipated expense. The firm also frequently utilizes blended rates, value billing, and other progressive billing structures, rather than the traditional reliance on an hourly billing rate. Hourly billing encourages firms to be inefficient, and to delay completion of work, all to the client’s detriment. At the Morton Law Firm, we don’t focus on or get paid for time spent; our focus is on results. By handling most matters with flat fees, our clients are able to measure the value of the proposed work and make an informed decision on whether to engage the work before engaging the lawyer. No surprises later when something takes longer than expected. With flat fee billing, the client is able to determine on the front end whether the work justifies the expense, and the lawyer has an incentive to complete the work as quickly as possible without sacrificing quality. The firm represents both individual and corporate clients of all sizes in civil matters throughout Mississippi and Louisiana. The primary focus of the firm is elder law, estate planning, medicaid planning, special needs planning, and business planning. If you are in need of legal representation, feel free to contact the Morton Law Firm to discuss your case.

Personal Injury
Some matters of representation, such as Personal Injury or Estate Dispute litigation, can be charged on a contingency basis, meaning that our recovery is contingent upon obtaining a successful result for the client. For those clients and matters for which a contingency fee is appropriate, a written contract outlining precisely how the fee will be computed and expenses will be paid, will be provided at the time of engagement.
Medicaid Planning
Clients desiring a consultation in the areas of Divorce, Medicaid Planning, and Asset Protection will be charged a flat rate of $350 for the initial consultation. This consultation will be scheduled for one hour, and at the conclusion of the meeting we will recommend the next course of action, and quote a fee for the work required.

Wills
Trusts
Craig and Sandra have four children, and one of them, Will, has Down Syndrome. Will is 25 and currently receives SSI and Medicaid, but his parents also have to help out financially, and they always will. But Craig and Sandra worry about what might happen to Will if something unexpected happened to them. They know how difficult it was to get Will on public benefits, and how even a modest inheritance will cause him to lose those benefits. Also, Craig and Sandra are not wealthy, and while they know they need to provide for Will when they are gone, they do not want to disinherit Will’s siblings. Some friends have suggested that they leave all of their assets to their other three children so Will won’t lose his benefits, but they don’t want to disinherit Will either. After all, Will is going to need an inheritance more than the other three children, and leaving Will’s inheritance to one of them might result in Will never receiving it if something tragic or unforeseen were to happen like a death or bankruptcy. Craig and Sandra knew they needed advice, so they made an appointment at the Morton Law Firm. There they learned of a special type of trust where they could leave Will’s inheritance to assist in paying for extra things his public benefits did not cover but would not cause him to lose his public benefits. Craig and Sandra followed the firm’s advice and created a Special Needs Trust for Will. They now have a much greater peace of mind, knowing that if something happens to them all of their children will be treated fairly, and Will’s inheritance will be protected to provide him the extra assistance he periodically needs without causing him to lose his government benefits. They also like the fact that any funds remaining when he dies will go to their other 3 children and not the government. Craig and Sandra would have likely continued to spend sleepless nights worrying about what would happen to Will if something happened to them, but now they rest well knowing that they have taken care of their affairs.
