Skilled and Strategic Guidance Through a Complex Investigation

I engaged James Morton and his team at Morton & Gettys LLC during a stressful SEC inquiry that had the potential to escalate into serious charges. From our initial consultation in his Rock Hill office, his deep understanding of white-collar defense was evident. He didn't just react to the investigation; he proactively developed a strategy that protected my interests from the outset. His recognition by Best Lawyers in Criminal Defense: White-Collar wasn't just a line on a profile—it translated into a nuanced grasp of regulatory nuance and negotiation tactics that were crucial in achieving a favorable resolution. The entire process was handled with discretion and professionalism. If I had one note, it would be that communication during particularly busy periods could sometimes have a slight delay, though his associate was always available as a backup. For anyone in the Albuquerque or greater South Carolina area facing similar high-stakes legal challenges, James Morton provides exceptional, knowledgeable representation.
