Henry S. Morphis founded Morphis Law & Mediation in 2014 after working eight years with his father's law firm, Young, Morphis, Bach & Taylor, where he spent three years practicing alongside his father, Thomas Chambers Morphis, Sr., before his father's passing in 2009. His path to law was delayed; he graduated from North Carolina State University and worked in the furniture industry for almost nine years, rising from staff engineer to plant manager to head of engineering, and serving on the Steering Committee of a corporation with over 250 employees. He earned his Juris Doctorate from Campbell University's Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law in 2006. His practice concentrates on wills, trusts, estate administration, guardianship law, small business and non-profit law, elder care law, tax law, and mediation. Martindale-Hubbell has awarded him its highest AV rating based on peer reviews.

The firm is staffed by Amy, who runs the office, Michelle and Sandra, who work with estate and guardianship administrations, and Vivian, Henry's mother. In November 2017, Copper Belle, a certified therapy dog trained at Catawba Valley Obedience Club, joined the firm to provide clients with comfort and support.

The office sits on 2nd Street NE near 2nd Street Northeast and Cripple Creek, with Hickory Career & Arts Magnet High School, the Viewmont neighborhood, Hickory Foundation YMCA, and Viewmont Eye Associates all within roughly a third of a mile.

Henry's blend of corporate engineering experience and legal training gives him a practical approach to advising small businesses and families on tax, estate, and business matters throughout the Hickory area.
