The August, 2008, edition of Orlando Magazine featured the following article on Mary Ann Morgan, Managing Partner of the law firm of Billings, Morgan & Boatwright.
Attorney Mary Ann Morgan is fighting to make a difference in the lives of her clients. “I represent the individual,” Morgan explains. “When I get up and go to work, I am representing someone who cannot do what I do for them. I represent the little guy.”
Morgan, a managing partner with the Billings, Morgan & Boatwright law firm, has been practicing law for 22 years. The Orlando native joined the firm after graduating from Florida State University College of Law in 1986. She was the first female attorney with the firm and specializes in personal injury law.
Since joining the firm, Morgan has changed the way the practice evaluates new cases and has made pro bono work mandatory. She is a strong advocate for her clients’ individual needs.
“The most important part of being a good lawyer is your listening skills. I found out that you truly become a counselor-at-law in every sense of the word.”
Morgan is past president of the Orange County Bar Association and the Legal Aid Society. She is a member of the Central Florida Association for Women Lawyers and is establishing a mentoring program for young attorneys.
Morgan and her husband, Patrick Burke, are the proud parents of daughter, Bethany. Morgan also volunteers at Orangewood Christian School and teaches Sunday school at St. Margaret Mary Church in Winter Park.
