As a policy researcher at the Yale Bird-friendly Building Initiative, I co-authored 'Building Safer Cities for Birds: How Cities Are Leading the Way on Bird-Friendly Building Policy." I routinely testify and submit public comments on municipal and institutional lighting plans.

Morgan Anthony Bourque

Morgan Anthony Bourque

Morgan Anthony Bourque grew up in The Woodlands, Texas, in a community that valued responsibility and practical solutions. Those early influences shaped his path as he earned a Bachelor of Science from Baylor University, where he also studied communication and speech. He went on to attend Samford University’s Cumberland School of Law and then South Texas College of Law, where he developed a strong interest in courtroom work through Mock Trial and Moot Court, earning championships.

During law school, Morgan learned to explain complex issues in clear terms, think critically in challenging moments, and communicate effectively with juries. Before starting his own practice, he gained experience across different parts of the justice system. He interned at the United States Attorney’s Office, Department of Justice, Southern District of Texas, as well as the district attorney’s offices in Harris County and Montgomery County. These roles gave him an inside view of how investigations begin, how plea decisions are made, and how trial preparation unfolds behind the scenes. He treated each experience as practical training, studying how cases are built and how assumptions or errors can be challenged.

After returning to The Woodlands, he began practicing law with his father, whose long-standing experience helped shape the firm’s approach. Their practice covers criminal defense, DWI defense, family law, and personal injury matters involving serious injuries or wrongful death. He handles each case as if it may go to trial, which has contributed to securing more not guilty verdicts in criminal and DWI cases in Montgomery County since 2019 than any other attorney. In family and injury cases, he focuses on how evidence was gathered and how an event changed a person’s medical, financial, and social life.

His method with clients is structured and transparent. He begins by discussing the problem and the client’s goals, then develops a step-by-step plan that may include gathering documents, preparing witnesses, consulting experts, and establishing a timetable. He maintains consistent communication and avoids drama in court, relying on clarity and thorough preparation to ensure a smooth process. He also conducts practice sessions to help clients stay calm and confident when testifying.

Living and working in The Woodlands influences how he approaches every case, and clients have direct access to him throughout the process. He encourages anyone facing legal trouble to seek help early so that the evidence can be preserved and a strategy can be developed promptly. With a focus on preparation and steady communication, Morgan Anthony Bourque continues to guide clients toward informed decisions about their future.
