A Personalized Passion for Serving Clients
At the end of the day, Morlas prioritizes serving his clients in Lafayette, LA and providing help to those who are injured to get the necessary medical care they need. Unfortunately, many clients only have Medicaid, Medicare, or no medical insurance whatsoever, and are limited to where and how quickly they can seek medical care.
His response? Morlas is able to send his clients to doctors in any specialty to be treated without delay. The client will never get billed directly. Once they get the necessary medical treatment, they are then rightfully compensated for their damages (including pain, suffering, emotional distress, medical bills, and lost wages from the liable parties) through a settlement or judgment.
A History of Results
Whether it be from a settling prior to trial or by judgment from a court, he will do all he can in negotiating cases for settlement.
I enjoy freeing my clients of the stress of having to deal with an insurance company, which can be very confusing and time consuming. I thrive off the challenge of having to be persuasive in introducing a client’s case to an insurance company, judge or jury. I’m basically a salesman. I have to sell myself and my client to the defendant. If they like us, then we will have great results.
Morlas gets fulfillment through each step of the process of handling a case. From setting up a claim with the liable insurance company, arranging for clients to see a doctor of their choosing, discussing with the client as to their best and safest options on how to proceed with their case, to the eventual settling or trying of their case in court, he’s with them every step of the way!
Honest & Authenticity
What you see is what you get with Morlas. He values being up front and honest with clients. Morlas stated, “I’m myself when I talk to clients. There is no act. I treat my clients like friends. They will respect you much more if you treat them this way. And, they will remember you, in a good way.”
He believes that honesty is the best policy in his area of practice. His father and founder of the law firm used to say, “A lawyer is no better than the case he is handling; a case is only as good as a lawyer makes it.” By applying this value, his clients are much more appreciative of the end result.
