ABOUT CURTIS

---

Curtis Morrison, Immigration Attorney, Federal Law Litigator, Husband, Activist.

Curtis's story is one of resilience, transformation, and unwavering dedication to advocacy. Raised in Southern Indiana, he was a good kid, an Eagle Scout even. However, he embarked on an unconventional path, dropping out of college after his freshman year at Purdue University. After a couple of years in the pizza business, he transitioned into a 2-decade career as a realtor, even starting and building a real estate firm with his younger sister Rhonda.

In his late 30's, Curtis decided life was about more than money, and that he needed to get educated. He earned his bachelor's degree from the University of Louisville, working at times as a substitute teacher, and for UPS.

After getting his bachelor's degree, he did a year of social work school, and rotated between activism, blogging, and politics in Louisville, even running unsuccessfully for state senate in 2012.

In 2014, Curtis was exposed as the source of a unflattering recording of Senator Mitch McConnell that was published by David Corn with Mother Jones, leading to a politically-inspired FBI investigation triggered by McConnell. More about that here. Being subject to investigation, Curtis decided to make the best of the situation and moved to California to attend Whittier Law School. While studying abroad in Barcelona, Curtis met his husband and love of his life, Rodolfo. They'll be celebrating their 10th anniversary this summer.

After graduating from lawsuit school, at 47 years old, Curtis moved to Oregon to work for a non-profit public interest law firm that advocated for youth to secure their legal rights to a safe climate. But he missed Southern California.

In 2018, Curtis returned to Southern California to practice immigration law, eventually starting two law firms. His newest firm, Red Eagle Law, L.C., is based in Bonsall. It specializes in federal litigation on behalf of immigrant families, and employees attorneys and paralegals across the country.  

Curtis's journey is a testament to the power of reinvention and the impact of steadfast determination. His life continues to inspire and advocate for those seeking justice and a better future.
