Gratitude

From the outset, we have been client-focused and team-oriented, seeking to serve our clients consistent with the highest standards of ethics and professionalism. Our future will be premised on the core cultural values that have brought us 90 years of success.

At Morris James, we share the following values:

Client-Focused

Lawyers and professionals promptly respond to clients, strive to understand and achieve the clients’ goals, and develop and maintain excellent client relationships.

Teamwork

Whenever appropriate, work is delegated and clients are serviced by teams. We value a work environment where every person’s contribution to servicing clients’ needs and pro bono efforts is fairly recognized and rewarded.

Work Ethic

Lawyers consistently work hard and recognize there are times when personal sacrifice may be necessary to address clients’ needs. The firm strives, however, to value the desire to devote time to a satisfying and rewarding life away from work, including community involvement.

Integrity

We value honesty, candor, and ethical behavior, and we enforce those values by holding individuals accountable.

Lawyering

We value clear thinking, creative and efficient problem-solving, plain speaking, persuasive writing, and adhering to the highest standards of ethics and professionalism.

Mutual Respect

Relationships are respectful, civil, and collegial.

Diversity

Diversity at all levels of the firm enhances our ability to compete and serve clients.

Professional Development

Professionals are attracted and retained by providing a work environment characterized by mutual respect, mentoring, skill development, and the level of responsibility each professional demonstrates the ability to handle.

Decisions

The partners make decisions by striving to arrive at a consensus. Leaders practice what they preach.
