Roy G. Morris — Real Estate Attorney with Accounting, Tax Law, and Developer-Level Experience

Denton’s mix of university rentals, historic commercial buildings, and new development calls for an attorney who’s comfortable across property types — and Roy G. Morris’s background reflects exactly that range. Before going to law school and eventually founding The Morris Legal Group, he was a tax specialist at Arthur Andersen, one of the most respected accounting firms in the world.

His J.D. from the University of Texas School of Law and Master’s Degree in Taxation from DePaul University led to two federal appointments: leading litigation teams that closed banking and lending institutions, and later developing the in-house litigation section of the FDIC — direct, high-stakes experience with the property and title issues that arise when institutions unwind real estate holdings.
