Ms. Patricia Morris, an attorney and animal enthusiast, is the the managing member of the Law Offices.  She is licensed to practice law in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, in the state and federal  courts.  Attorney Morris' principal practice areas include animal law and equine law in business law, contract drafting and civil litigation.  Formerly corporate counsel for a large corporation, Attorney Morris handled multi-million dollar purchase and sale agreements, lease agreements, tax appeals, real estate transactions, and environmental matters.  However, as result of her passion for animals, Attorney Morris launched her own law practice in 2007, to include animal law and equine law. Now she provides timely, competent and cost-effective legal services to businesses, animal owners and animal lovers.  Cases are taken on an hourly, project, or contingency basis, depending upon the client's needs.
