A Journey Born of Struggles
Born in 1962, Brian’s life was marked by early adversity. Abandoned by his mother at the age of eight, he lived in a self-built fort until kind strangers took him in. His rebellious youth led him into a life of crime and addiction, culminating in arrests and convictions that placed him behind bars for nearly 30 calendar years, his entire adult life.
In prison, Brian found his calling. Determined to change his life and help others, he immersed himself in law, earning a reputation as a “walking encyclopedia” of Florida’s post-conviction remedies. Despite the darkness of his environment, Brian became a symbol of resilience, helping countless inmates navigate the complexities of the legal system.
The Turning Point
Brian’s turning point came when he successfully overturned his own 30-year federal sentence in a landmark case. His expertise, honed through years of study in prison law libraries, caught the attention of attorneys, judges, and even prosecutors. Upon his release in 2011, he quickly became a sought-after advocate, working with organizations like the American Bar Association and founding the up and coming National Postconviction Legal Aid Organization, Inc.

Very professional and gets results.
Brian discovered an erroneous calculation in my sentencing guidelines scoresheet that resulted in the court vacating a 40 year sentence all my lawyers had missed. Brian got the court to correct my sentence and I walked out of prison. Brian got the last 20 years’ and the rest of my life back for me! He is the best….
USA v. Eugene Joseph Casternovia, No. 10-14729 (11th Cir. 2013)
The lawyer for one of my co-defendants wrote a 250-page brief which I had read and taken pages of notes on so, I was already familiar with some of the “Points of law” in my case. Brian says; “Let me see the indictment.” As he read it, although he has not seen the 250 page brief prepared by the attorneys, Brian proceeded to quote chapter and verse the points of law highlighted in the brief and he added some additional points. Brian did this within seconds, off the top of his head, having never seen the case before him, off the 3-page indictment! just Bam! Bam! Bam. Needless to say, he had my attention. In the ensuing years, he has counseled me on several occasions. His advice is both accurate and, now get this please, tempered with the experience of how the system actually works. Not the book theory but how it actually works you know, on the back side where the folks caught up never see. His assistance has saved me from going down some dead ends and convinced the federal trial court to grant me an early termination of supervision. Brian is not just competent he is a savant. Finally, his ever-present good nature does a lot to set my emotions at ease while I’m in the thick of it. If you have the opportunity to work with Brian, well sorry about the situation you're in: but please know, you are in good hands. And by the way, If he can not help, he will tell you that also. I’ve seen him turn down money rather than peddle false hope. Gino

Brian is, without a doubt, the most focused and detail oriented Paralegal we have ever known. His research skills and overall knowledge of the Legal system is top notch. Brian has "real world" experience in the trenches that is rare in the industry. I highly recommend his services in any form or capacity when navigating the Legal system.

Brian shows excess intuition in the subject of post conviction evaluations and appeals. I have the instinct to ALWAYS read and RE-read ALL documents pertaining to whatever case law, or any subject- period, but I would always trust Brian, and actually I have never felt the NEED to read- but of course I do just out of habit. He is GREAT to work with. Gives amazing results! Independent Graphic Design Professional
SAMPLE OF SUCCESSFUL UNTIMELY SECOND AND SUCCESSIVE RULE 3.850 MOTION FOR POSTCONVICTION RELIEF PREPARED BY BRIAN A. MORRIS.
Historic Ruling: Two Life Sentences Vacated After 24 Years
Miami, FL – August 8, 2025, —
In a landmark victory for justice, the Honorable Judge Alberto Milian of the 11th Judicial Circuit Court vacated two life sentences imposed on Orenthal Green, who has served more than 26 years in the Florida prison system. The ruling grants Mr. Greens Motion for Postconviction Relief — allowing him to regain his freedom immediately.
The successful postconviction motion was prepared by Brian A. Morris, founder of Prisoner Consultants, LLC, who uncovered critical errors overlooked by Mr. Green’s prior attorneys. Mr. Morris, a postconviction litigation consultant and author of the forthcoming book, Florida Rule 3.850: Postconviction Perspectives, said:
“Glory to God. Today, the court rectified a grave injustice. Mr. Green spent nearly a quarter of a century incarcerated on two life sentences that should not have been imposed. This case demonstrates that with diligence, knowledge, and a keen eye for grounds that genuinely warrant relief, justice can still prevail. I am so grateful for the skills and abilities bestowed upon me to serve as God’s instrument in numerous victories for justice and prayers answered. Glory to my Heavenly Father.”
Attorney Teresa Williams of the Williams Litigation Group, who represented Mr. Green in court, added:
“This ruling reflects the power of effective advocacy and the importance of challenging wrongful sentences. Mr. Green can finally go home.”
Mr. Morris’s upcoming book, Postconviction Perspectives, provides practical guidance for defendants and attorneys navigating Florida Rule 3.850 postconviction relief motions.
