As an undergraduate, Harvey Morris already had his sights on becoming a lawyer and was able to expedite that process under the rules at that time by enrolling at the university’s law school after three years as an undergrad. He received his J.D. in 1966, returned to his home turf and has been practicing in Huntsville from that day to this.

At first, he worked  in the law firm of Smith, Johnston & Walker, where he concentrated his practice on personal injury, criminal defense, and domestic relations. Later, he went out on his own and founded the firm that would become Morris, King & Hodge.

Morris says he has no plans to slow down any time soon—because he loves his work too much. “It’s just fun,” he says. “Where else do you have the chance to be confronted with 12 people in the jury box—12 different personalities—and try to convince those individuals that your position is correct? Sometimes people say, ‘Why don’t you retire?’, and the answer is: Because it’s just too much fun.”
