Morgan McPheeters has over a decade of experience in appellate advocacy and strategic litigation support. After graduating with high honors from New Mexico State University and cum laude from Baylor University School of Law, she began her career at a Dallas-based appellate boutique firm. Morgan quickly gained expertise handling all aspects of civil appellate matters and, in 2019, formed McPheeters Law, PLLC, where she continued her focus on civil appeals and providing strategic support to trial lawyers across Texas and New Mexico. Known for her conversational and effective oral advocacy style, Morgan has handled appeals before the Texas Supreme Court, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, and nearly all intermediate courts of appeals in Texas.
Morgan is highly regarded for her grasp of the interplay between legal theory and legal practice, her ability to enable trial lawyers to achieve optimum results for their clients, and—as a frequent continuing education speaker—her dedication to sharing her knowledge and training the next generation of advocates. Morgan also serves as the chair of the Texas Trial Lawyers Association Amicus Committee and on the board of directors of the Dallas Trial Lawyers Association.
A dedicated and passionate advocate, Morgan is one of few to have twice received the Dallas Trial Lawyers Association’s John Howie Award, an award given for the courageous pursuit of justice in the face of adversity. And in 2021, Texas Women Lawyers presented Morgan with the Brenda Tso Rising Young Lawyer Award. She has repeatedly been named one of the “Best Lawyers Under 40” and one of the “Best Lawyers in Dallas” by D Magazine. She has also been named a “Rising Star” in the Appellate category by Super Lawyers Magazine, a Thomson Reuters publication, since 2018. Additionally, she was selected to the Super Lawyers Rising Star “Up-And-Coming 100” and “Up-And-Coming 50 Women” lists in 2024.
Morgan is licensed to practice law in Texas and New Mexico state courts, as well as in the United States District Courts for the Northern, Eastern, and Western Districts of Texas, the United States District Court of New Mexico, the Fifth Circuit, and the United States Supreme Court.
