Re-imagining the practice of law
About Morris Thompson
Imagine creating a personal relationship with your attorney and having him become a trusted member of your strategic team and family.
Before Will Morris and Julius Thompson became partners, they first became trusted friends. With a common background as native Arkansans, a love of family, a passion for sports, and a belief that attorneys should create personal relationships with their clients, Will and Julius built a strong foundation for their practice. Morris Thompson was created with the goal of representing clients in an integrated and collaborative way.
Their professional experience included opportunities with large firms such as: Deloitte and Touche, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Gardere & Wynne, and Allstate Insurance Company. Additionally, both had entrepreneurial experience as business owners in: personal lines and life insurance, title insurance and real estate, and specialty law firms.
On May 3, 2020, Will was shocked to learn that his trusted friend and partner had suddenly passed away of a heart attack at 49 years old. Despite this tragic loss, Will has dedicated his practice, and the continued mission of Morris Thompson, to the legacy and memory of Julius Thompson. There is no way to replace Julius, but Will has pledged to continue their shared vision. Morris Thompson plans to add new staff and attorneys to secure that vision.
Will’s specialty areas of practice include estate planning and probate as well as estate tax, gift tax, and income tax planning and uses his expertise to assist clients with their business succession planning.
