"Morton PLLC has been a perfect fit for our company. Steve Morton personally led the process of structuring us as a startup, represented us through multiple rounds of venture financing and served as our outside general counsel for nearly ten years. Through resources inside and outside his firm, he provided innovative solutions to our compensation and related tax requirements. After we grew to seven data centers we decided it was time to sell. Morton PLLC and our banker (Houlihan Lokey), took us through an auction process opposite the buyer and its financial partner (Goldman Sachs). Morton PLLC structured the deal and drafted the sale documents. Steve’s 20 plus years of experience in large firms was apparent. He knows how to bring together the right resources for a complex project. The sale resulted in an excellent outcome for us. I recommend Morton PLLC to anyone in need of attentive and sophisticated representation.
– Jim deVenny, CEO of Dataside LLC, former owner and operator of data centers
"I’ve known Steve Morton for roughly 25 years and he is an outstanding lawyer and counsellor. The best way I can describe him is he is a businessman’s lawyer. You can explain to him the business points and he will assure that you know your alternatives, and that the legal documents reflect the course of action that you have selected. Nothing could be more ideal for a businessman than to have the confidence I have in Steve that the legal advice and documents will always be on target."
– Tony LeVecchio, President, The James Group, Inc.
“We have worked with Morton PLLC since we acquired our business assets in 2009. Steve and his experienced team have handled all the legal work for that acquisition, two private placements and a bridge loan. Steve also attends our regularly scheduled board meetings, without charge, to address any legal issues that come up so we can make well-informed decisions promptly. Steve, Ariana and Lisa have excellent drafting skills and I’ve always felt that our documents were always well thought-out, clear and delivered in time to meet our mission requirements. They have a wealth of experience doing sophisticated corporate work normally found only in much larger firms. I can confidently recommend them to anyone who has financing, acquisition, or general corporate needs.”
– Joe Pollard, Founder and CEO, Vedero Software LLC, a privately-held provider of software solutions for demand response.
“Morton PLLC has been outside general counsel to Photodigm since the inception of the company in 2000. During this time Steve Morton has advised Photodigm across a broad spectrum of issues ranging from general corporate matters to intricate venture and strategic financings. Most recently Steve represented the company during a management-led buyout. Through these transactions, Steve and his colleagues at Morton PLLC have provided wise business counsel and timely legal advice appropriate to our circumstances.”
– Dr. John E. Spencer, CEO, Photodigm, Inc., developer and manufacturer of precision semiconductor lasers
Steve Morton was referred to me in 2006 by various professionals in both the legal and business field. At that time, our company was on the verge of going public, so Morton PLLC's initial role was to represent me in the sale of part of my stock in the IPO and advising me as a director of a company “going public.” This was a good match because Morton PLLC also was corporate counsel to a publicly-traded company and Steve Morton had public offerings experience.
Almost immediately it became apparent that Mr. Morton's talents could be very helpful in explaining, and advising me in, other areas of the law. Now, I look to Morton PLLC to represent me in most legal matters.
Steve's honesty and integrity were very important in my decision in appointing him my general counsel. He has a unique ability to explain many of the complexities of our often confusing legal system. One of Steve's strongest talents is his ability to explain and interpret the possible outcome and intent in the wording of contracts and other legal documents.
Steve Morton has played a very important role in the success that I have been blessed with. I strongly believe he would be a valuable addition as anyone's lawyer.
