This month, the Ruston office of Trey Morris Injury Lawyers turns one year old. It opened in July 2025 to do a straightforward thing: put injury lawyers in Lincoln Parish, close to the people who need them, instead of an hour down I-20 in Shreveport.
An Office Built for Lincoln Parish
The Ruston office serves Lincoln Parish and the surrounding communities along the central I-20 corridor, reaching into Union, Jackson, and Bienville parishes. It handles the personal injury work the firm has done since 2001: car and truck collisions, wrecks involving commercial vehicles, injuries on unsafe property, and other cases where someone was hurt because of another person’s or a company’s carelessness.
Ruston is home to Louisiana Tech University, with Grambling State University just to the west. It sits at the center of a region that moves a lot of people and freight along I-20, and that traffic brings its share of serious wrecks. A permanent office in town means the firm can respond to those cases where they happen.
Why a Local Office Matters
For someone recovering from a serious injury, a 70-mile drive to Shreveport is not a small thing. It can mean taking a day off work, finding a ride, or sitting in a car in pain for more than an hour each way. A Ruston office removes that hurdle. Clients can meet their attorney in town, hand off documents in person, and get answers without planning a trip.
Local also means local knowledge. The people working out of Ruston know the roads where these wrecks happen, the courts where Lincoln Parish cases are filed, and the employers and hospitals that come up again and again in local claims. That familiarity shortens the distance between a client’s problem and a useful answer.
North Louisiana Roots Since 2001
Trey Morris Injury Lawyers started in Shreveport in 2001 and has spent more than two decades working across North Louisiana. Trey Morris, the firm’s founding and managing partner, built the practice in this part of the state, so Ruston was a natural place to plant a permanent office rather than passing through from Shreveport.
Over the past year, the Ruston office has handled local cases from start to finish and stayed involved in the community, working alongside local organizations and showing up for area events. The firm now runs six offices: Shreveport, its headquarters, along with Bossier City, Minden, Ruston, Covington, and Lake Charles. Ruston sits in the middle of that footprint, on the corridor that connects them.
What Year Two Looks Like
Year two looks a lot like year one, which is the point. The office plans to keep taking Lincoln Parish cases locally, keep showing up for community events, and keep the door open to anyone in the area who was hurt and does not know where to start. Steady presence beats a grand opening. A local office that stays put and does the work is worth more to injured families than a promise.
