Kerry Burleigh, J.D., CDFA™

Attorney Morelos is one of the most hard-working, dedicated people I have met. Not only does she attack her responsibilities with focus and knowledge, but she strives to be a leader in the community. She has raised the bar for all attorneys who want to be a real "counselor-at-law" and provide a true service for her clients. I have referred her clients with confidence and will continue to do so.
