About Morrison Law, PLLC

Morrison Law, PLLC is a Tampa-based criminal defense law firm founded by attorney Zachary P. Morrison, a seasoned trial lawyer known for his aggressive, honest advocacy. With over seven years of legal experience, Morrison Law focuses on DUI defense as well as felony and misdemeanor criminal charges. Zach began his legal career at the State Attorney’s Office for Florida’s 6th Judicial Circuit, where he prosecuted thousands of criminal cases—ranging from DUI and domestic violence to drug trafficking, theft, and even murder. This prosecutorial background now gives him a powerful edge in criminal defense, allowing him to anticipate, dissect, and dismantle the prosecution’s strategies from the inside out.

Before stepping into the courtroom, Zach earned his Juris Doctor from Stetson University College of Law, where he was awarded the Book Award in Research & Writing and competed nationally with Stetson’s #1-ranked Trial Team. His undergraduate degree in Psychology from Illinois Wesleyan University—coupled with his experience as a decorated collegiate track and field athlete—reflects the discipline, persistence, and strategic thinking he brings to every case.

After leaving the State Attorney’s Office, Zach joined Franchi Law as the firm’s sole criminal defense attorney. There, he also managed a significant civil docket, overseeing more than 200 personal injury matters involving motor vehicle accidents and premises liability claims. With over 20 jury and bench trials completed and thousands of cases handled, Zach developed a dual-discipline, battle-tested approach that now informs every aspect of his private practice.

At Morrison Law, PLLC, clients benefit from clear, direct communication, individualized case strategies, and a relentless pursuit of justice. Whether defending against criminal charges or asserting the rights of the injured, Zach’s mission remains the same: to fight for the best possible outcome with skill, tenacity, and integrity.

The firm proudly serves clients throughout Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, and Polk Counties.
