Very Dedicated!

Russel Morgan went above and beyond in helping me set up an incentive trust. He was able to really create an exceptional document that I’m confident will help my kids when I’m gone. I would recommend him for any asset protection or estate planning needs.

Makes The Impossible Possible

I haven’t been able to stop telling people about the amazing services provided by Russel Morgan and his team. I thought there was no way to stop the constant harassment I was receiving from telemarketing robocallers. Luckily, Russel provided incredible service and worked hard to protect me. I am s...o happy with the results.

A Master of Contract Law

Leading a business can be tough. It can be tougher when I have to spend each day flipping through contracts that I barely understand. That’s why I decided to trust Russel Morgan. He helps make each contract simpler to understand and has proven himself as not only being very skillful but also as ha...ving a lot of integrity.

Really Unstoppable

When the executor of my father’s estate started deviating from his will I was livid. Things got so bad that I knew I had to contest it, so I relied on Russel Morgan. He is a pro at estate planning and worked quickly to put together an amazing case that helped me get everything my dad wanted me to h...ave.

Top lawyers

Thanks to my destiny I met Russel who was helping me with my case. The dispute was due to improperly prepared documents by me. And unexpectedly we won! Because I was already preparing myself for the worst scenario, I am very grateful to Morgan Legal Group that everything turned out better than expect...ed in the end. I cannot thank them anymore!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
