Zac Morris
West Texan born and Panhandle raised. Zac Morris put down roots in Lampasas Texas in 2016 by way of a literal 30 year journey around Texas.
Mr. Morris completed undergraduate studies with a degree in Public Relations in 2008. After graduation, Zac continued his education at the Texas Tech School of Law and received a Doctorate of Jurisprudence in 2011. Mr. Morris received his student bar card in 2010 and has spent the last decade focusing on the needs of the criminally accused. He spent time cutting his teeth as a public defender in Bowie County Texas right out of Law School for a little under 2 years. After establishing his confidence in the courtroom, he blazed a trail to Austin in 2013. Since that move, Mr. Morris has represented folks in the greater Austin, CenTex and Hill Country regions of Texas.
Mr. Morris prides himself on being a zealous and dynamic trial attorney. He feels that maintaining a positive relationship with prosecutors is paramount. However, he’ll openly tell you that to this date, he hasn’t found one he’d back down from on his client’s behalf.
Marcella “Marci” Morris
Marci was born and raised in Odessa, Texas. She received her BBA in Marketing from The University of Texas of the Permian Basin in 2007. She moved to the Austin area in 2008 where she became licensed in cosmetology. She also met her husband, Zac Morris, while living in the Austin area and the two became married in 2015. She moved with Zac to Lampasas in March of 2016. After 11 years in the cosmetology industry, she began law school as a hybrid student at the University of Dayton School of Law in August of 2021. In 2023, while in law school, Marci gave birth to her and Zac’s only child, Zachary, who they lovingly call “Dos.” In January of 2025, Marci graduated with her J.D. and became licensed to practice law in Texas in April 2025.
Shellie Hutsell
Shellie Hutsell, Paralegal Extraordinaire at MORRIS LAW P.C. has over 14 years of experience in the legal field including working at the Texas County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, Harrell, Morris & Stermer, Attorneys at Law, alongside with Zac in his solo practice and now with Zac and Marci at MORRIS LAW P.C. in Lampasas, Texas.
As far back as she can remember she has wanted to be an integral member of the legal field. In second grade she was asked to come to school dressed as what she wanted to be when she grew up. Let’s just say she didn’t wear a princess dress or a superman cape. She wanted to be an Attorney or in the justice arena. Her desire and determination to reach her goal, led her to taking night and online courses. However, she will say “her hands-on experiences, passion and hard work has gotten her to where she is today.” She has embraced her passion and is devoted to helping others and supporting them in their time of need.
Becoming a mother of three at a young age wasn’t planned, but that didn’t stop her from raising her children and accelerating her career. She believed her children would benefit from seeing firsthand how hard work pays off, no matter the obstacles in the way. Now that her children have graduated she is thrilled her youngest Hailey Hutsell has joined the MORRIS LAW Team and can’t wait to have a “Shellie 2.0” in the mix. When she isn’t focusing on work, she enjoys reading, taking walks and listening to music.
“I truly love my job and what I do, there aren’t too many people that get to say that. I believe fate has placed me here to help others during their time of injustice, need and uncertainty. I am fortunate to work alongside Zac and Marci Morris, Attorneys, who believe in advocating for their clients, bringing justice to all, no matter the challenges or hurdles thrown their way.”
