Attorney Profile

Bob Morton is a true business and civil litigation generalist. He has successfully tried multiple civil jury trials. He regularly assists his business clients with planning, litigation avoidance, employment matters and virtually all other legal matters that his business clients face. He has been featured as a consumer advocate on ABC's "Good Morning America," has served three terms as chairman of the local Better Business Bureau, been recognized as an Outstanding Volunteer Lawyer by the Volunteer Lawyer Program of Wake County, and can be seen Sunday mornings as the pianist and youth choir director at Bay Leaf Church in North Raleigh. But before he was a lawyer, Morton was a high-school music instructor, and then a small-business owner. Having studied law after owning his own successful business, he is uniquely qualified to provide practical advice, understanding where his clients are, where they want to be and helping them develop a plan on how to achieve their goals.
