About Anthony Ryan
Anthony Ryan Morrow built a legal education that spans disciplines and jurisdictions. He earned a B.A. in psychology from Saint Leo College in 2006, completed his J.D. at North Carolina Central University School of Law in 2009 and later returned to study at California Western School of Law, where he completed a trial advocacy program in federal criminal defense in 2011 and an LL.M. in 2012. Those credentials chart a steady move from general legal training into courtroom practice.
He began his career in public service. In 2009 he worked at the Cook County State's Lawyer's Office, taking on duties common to a state prosecutor and government lawyer. By 2012 he had taken a position as a staff lawyer at the Burke County Department of Social Services, handling matters that intersect with family and administrative law. In 2013 he opened the Law Office of Anthony R. Morrow and returned to private practice. He later served as a judge advocate in the United States Air Force in 2014, an experience that placed him in military justice and appellate procedures. In 2018 he resumed practice under his own firm name.
Morrow holds admissions in several jurisdictions. He is a member of the Illinois State Bar, the North Carolina State Bar and the California State Bar. His federal admissions include the Southern District of California and the United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces. Those registrations reflect a practice that moves between state courts, federal courtroom work and the military legal system.
Professional associations are part of his profile. He maintains membership in the American Bar Association and the North Carolina Advocates for Justice, alongside his state bar memberships. Those ties provide ongoing access to continuing education and peer networks across the states in which he is licensed.
His background shows shifts between public and private roles: prosecutorial work in Cook County, public service at Burke County social services, military legal work as a judge advocate and periods running a solo practice. The LL.M. and trial advocacy training underline courtroom skills geared toward federal criminal matters. At the same time, his earlier roles indicate experience with state-level regulatory and family-related disputes.
Morrow practices through the Law Office of Anthony R. Morrow and represents clients in federal criminal cases, military justice matters and state court disputes across several jurisdictions.
