Posted by Tim Werley | January 04, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Guardianship

Thankful for professionalism

I definitely suggest Morgan Legal Group as a professional, experienced, and approachable law firm dealing in Guardianship. My mother was admitted to a nursing home last summer, and her living conditions and treatment there were appalling. Following her death, our family decided to seek legal advice i...n order to investigate the possibilities of taking legal action against the nursing facility for what we felt to be guardianship and neglect. We went with Morgan Legal Group and have never looked back. Attorney Russel's compassion for our loss and devotion to justice were attributes we all knew he would vigorously campaign for. Attorney Russel worked diligently for our family's fairness and excellent outcomes, as he does for all of his clients. We were quite pleased with the settlement we secured on my mother's behalf and the justice that was given. Thank you for your attention and assistance throughout this process, Attorney Russel.

Posted by Tony Stopar | December 28, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

Thanks for everything!

Finding out that the nursing home that cared for your fragile loved one ignored them is heartbreaking. I needed someone who believed in justice and holding neglectful parties accountable in such a difficult scenario. Elder Abuse Lawyer Russel Morgan was that individual. He explained the legal proces...s step-by-step. He kept me updated and was available to answer any queries. During this difficult period, Russel's assistance and compassion were vital. His priority was justice, but he also took the time to comprehend my loved one and me. I am so grateful Russel Morgan represented my loved one. If you struggle for justice, I highly recommend Morgan Legal Group. Russell, thanks for everything.

We heartily endorse Russel and his services!

Working with Russel and his crew was a true pleasure. They convey professionalism, experience, and a warm, welcoming approach. Mr. Morgan's comprehensive knowledge of estate planning, particularly numerous trust choices, is simply outstanding. We recently had the pleasure of establishing a Trust, as ...well as new wills, powers of attorney, health and financial directives, and other legal documents. For the first time in our lives, we are confident and comfortable with our estate planning selections. We heartily endorse Russel and his services!

highly recommend

Working with Russel Morgan was an absolute joy. He provided us with invaluable guidance and support throughout the entire process of understanding an existing trust and will, and helped us draft all the new documents we needed. What really stood out to me was his attention to detail - he brought up s...everal important points that we had not previously considered, which ultimately helped us make more informed decisions. His expertise in this area is truly impressive, and I felt confident in his ability to guide us through the process. I would highly recommend Russel Morgan to anyone in need of legal assistance with trusts and wills.

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.
