Before law school, Emilee worked at the Oklahoma Department of Human Services in child welfare as an investigator.

Emilee is an involved member of the Tulsa County Bar Association and the Tulsa Title and Probate Lawyers Association.
When Emilee started Morris Ratcliff Law, PLLC (Tulsa Estate Planning Firm and Owasso Estate Planning Firm), she decided to focus on estate planning and asset protection because she saw how important it was to her own grandparents and great-grandparents. Additionally, she saw that clients in her community were not being truly heard by law firms and attorneys. When you work with us, we treat you like family. We do not have a one-size fits all approach. Rather, we uniquely tailor your estate plan to your needs, just like we would do for our own. We take a listen-based approach with our clients and give you the tools you need to protect your family for generations to come.
In her free time, Emilee loves nothing more than spending time with her husband, Justin, their daughter, their extended family, and their friends. Emilee also dabbles in amateur photography and running and is involved in her church as a youth group volunteer.
