AUGUSTA — McKee Law has announced that effective Jan. 1, the firm became McKee Morgan.

The change in the firm name is in recognition of partner Matt Morgan’s importance to the firm and decade of high level work for the firm’s clients, according to a news release from the firm.

Walt McKee, the firm’s owner, noted: “It is no small matter to change a firm name, and especially in a small firm like ours. But Matt is a top-notch attorney and an exceptional person, and I am proud to have his name next to mine.”

Morgan’s practice, along with the general practice of the firm, will focus on criminal defense and civil litigation.
