About Sarah Coco

Sarah Coco Morris earned her Juris Doctor from SMU Dedman School of Law in 2012 after beginning her studies in 2008. Her law school years included coursework in criminal defense and practical training that prepared her for courtroom work. She completed additional trial training early in her career, pursuing programs that emphasized litigation skills and trial tactics.

After law school Morris began practicing in Texas. She opened her own practice in 2016 and has operated it since then. Running a solo firm required handling everything from client intake to courtroom appearances. That experience shaped how she manages files and communicates with clients.

Morris pursued specialized training beyond law school. She holds a Certificate of Completion from the Tim Evans Texas Criminal Trial College. She also completed the 31st Annual Rusty Duncan Advanced Criminal Law program hosted by the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association. Those programs are intended to sharpen trial technique and familiarity with criminal procedure, and she uses that training in daily practice.

Her professional life includes membership in legal organizations. She maintains current memberships that connect her to peers and continuing legal education. Those affiliations have been part of the network she draws on for updates in Texas criminal law and for practical advice on difficult matters.

Court work and client representation make up the core of her practice. Since forming the Law Office of Sarah Coco Morris, she has focused on representing individuals in criminal matters across Texas. She manages cases from initial charge through trial preparation and, when appropriate, negotiated resolutions. The office handles evidentiary hearings, pretrial motions, and trial work when necessary.

Morris balances courtroom time with office management tasks. She oversees case strategy, client counseling, and filings. Running a small practice means she often meets clients directly, prepares pleadings herself, and appears in court on their behalf. Colleagues describe her approach as practical, aimed at clear case plans and direct advocacy in court.

As of 2026 she continues to operate The Law Office of Sarah Coco Morris in Texas. Her current practice concentrates on criminal defense matters in Texas.
