Our History
Morris & Morris Attorneys has long been associated with quality, professional legal service provided in a personal way. We’re particularly proud of the fact that our clients are the greatest source of our referrals, and that we have helped two, three and even four generations of families with their legal needs.
We trace our beginnings to 1900 when Charles E. Bostwick, a prominent Rochester attorney, opened a law practice dedicated to serving individuals and small businesses in the Greater Rochester area.
In 1926, Ira H. Morris, the first of three generations of Morris attorneys, joined the Bostwick firm. He was well known as a skilled, hard-working lawyer who stayed in close contact with his clients, and he quickly gained prominence as a trial attorney.
In 2003, Deborah Morris Field – a third-generation lawyer in the Morris family and the daughter of James Morris – joined our practice. The Morris & Morris partnership now consists of James E. Morris and Deborah M. Field. Deborah’s practice, along with her team, is exclusively dedicated to plaintiff’s personal injury cases. James is a full time mediator who helps others resolve their cases.
