Dale S. Morrison
Dale S. Morrison has resided in Charlotte, North Carolina
and practiced law continuously since 1978. He received his
Batchelor of Arts Degree in History in 1968 from Elon College
(now Elon University). While attending Elon, Dale was President
of the Student Government Association and a member of the
Pi Gamma Mu National Honor Society, as well as many other
college organizations. After college, Dale entered the United
States Army in the late Summer of 1968. After going through
basic and advanced individual training (infantry) at Fort
Dix, New Jersey, he attended, graduated and was commissioned
as a Second Lieutenant in June of 1969 from the Field Artillery
Officer Candidate School in Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Dale’s
branch of service in the Army was Air Defense Artillery. Over
the next six (6) years, he held duty assignments at Fort Lawton,
Seattle, Washington, Edgewood Arsenal, Maryland, Fort Lee,
Virginia, and Homestead Air Force Base, Florida as well as
overseas service in Viet Nam. Dale resigned his commission
as Captain in 1975 to attend the prestigious University of
Virginia School of Law. Dale graduated in May of 1978 with
a Juris Doctor.
Dale is currently a Master in the William Bobbitt Inns
of Court. The mission of the Inns of Court is to foster
excellence among attorneys and judges in professionalism,
ethics, civility and legal skills. Dale is also a member
of the Civil Litigation and Business Sections of the North
Carolina Bar Association and the Civil Litigation and the
Criminal Justice Sections of the Mecklenburg County Bar
Association. He is currently serving a third year on the
North Carolina Bar Association’s Bench-Bar Liaison Committee.
Dale’s experiences in law over the past thirty-one (31)
years have largely involved trial practice in both Federal
and State Courts, civil and criminal. In addition to numerous
jury and non-jury trials, Dale has experience in countless
motion hearings, mediations and arbitrations. Over the course
of his legal career, Dale has practiced in multiple areas
of the law including: white collar criminal defense, felony
and misdemeanor criminal, civil litigation, personal injury,
domestic and family law, employment law, workers compensation,
real estate, trusts and estates, products liability, suits
against the government, malpractice, contract and business/corporate
transactional law. In the past few years Dale has become
more specialized and today, Dale has limited his practice
to four (4) principal areas: White Collar Criminal
Defense, Civil Litigation, Estate Litigation and Business/Corporate
Transactions.
Dale’s philosophy about providing legal services is one of providing personal attention to each client. Most businesses and persons do not wish to be in litigation; however, if they are in litigation, they wish to have competent, experienced and zealous legal representation. In handling a client’s case with sensitivity, Dale will attempt to avoid the public media, unless the client wishes the news media to be aware of the litigation.
