Attorney Joseph Morrison was quoted in the May
2007 edition of the Journal of the American Bar
Association. The article is regarding the new
law that will allow veterans to hire lawyers for
disability claims. The article states:
Joseph Morrison, a lawyer in Dallas who now largely does Social
Security disability and personal injury work, is
anticipating the possibility of taking referrals
from local veterans service organizations
looking to reduce their caseloads and pass along
particularly challenging cases to private
attorneys.
"These veterans service organizations do a great job, especially
here in Texas. We've got a strong network,"
Morrison says. "We just want to work beside
them, to really complement the work they're
doing, in no way supplanting them."
