According to the homepage, Mr. Morrison has been handling injury related cases for clients since 1989. This particular website, like many disability attorney websites, is fairly short.

Dealing with disability

This is a page titled, "Dealing with Disability", on the site Turmoil leads to hope. TLTH seems to be a very helpful and and forthright site and this particular page is especially helpful since it is a personal, first-person advice page written by an individual who has had to fight the social security disability system. The page is divided into sections: Social Security A Stressful Endeavor, Ground Rules For Applying For SSD, and SSD Forms. The authors of the page points out that the information that is presented is of the non-official variety and is the author's opinion. However, the helpful and informative nature of the page is very obvious and the level of detail provided regarding the disability system is considerably more (and of better quality) than many legal sites created by disability law firms.
