MEET THE BILLIE-MARIE MORRISON, ESQ.

Billie-Marie is one of only a few attorneys formally recognized by the State Bar of Nevada, as an attorney “Specialized in the area of Workers’ Compensation.” This recognition and certification is not easy to come by as it takes many years of practice in the area of Workers’ Compensation, a specific number of cases managed and taken to the Appeals level, as well as the Nevada District and Supreme Courts. On top of that, it requires passing a very difficult written and oral examination.

Billie-Marie grew up in Massachusetts and moved to Nevada in 1989. She received her MBA from UNLV and was admitted to the William S. Boyd School of Law Charter Class in 1998. During law school, Billie-Marie interned at the United States District Court, District of Nevada for the Honorable Johnnie B. Rawlinson, followed by a second internship and then continued with Judge Rawlinson serving 2 clerkships when Judge Rawlinson was appointed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. After her clerkships, Billie-Marie’s legal career was focused on complex litigation, focusing on mass torts, primarily in the area of products liability.

In 2007 Billie-Marie joined our law firm, and while continuing to practice products liability and personal injury, her passion to help people turned into an amazing career representing people injured on the job and now manages the firm’s workers’ compensation department.

Some of Billie-Marie’s many accomplishments include co-teaching a Workers’ Compensation class at William S. Boyd School of Law, teaching Administrative Law at the College of Southern Nevada for a number of years, served as a Board Member for the Nevada Justice Association, served as a Board member for the Southern Nevada Association for Women Attorneys, served as a Board member for the national Work Injury Law Group (WILG), and is continually rated Top 100 Work Comp lawyers in the country, amongst many other distinctions.
