Posted by Patrick Fane | December 06, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Estate Planning

Grateful for personalized attention

We just relocated to New York and hired Russel Morgan to help us create new Estate Planning paperwork. Navigating the complexities of Estate Planning as a blended family can be difficult. Throughout the process, however, Mr. Morgan displayed outstanding skill, care, and patience. He patiently address...ed each of our problems and provided us with a complete set of options. He completed our Planning paperwork in a matter of weeks. We wholeheartedly recommend his firm for this critical duty, as they have proven to be the best we have ever worked with!

Very impressed.

After using Morgan's law firm to handle the probate of my mothers estate I personally witnessed their commitment, to communication and attention to detail. Russel Morgan was always quick to respond to any questions I had and made sure I was well informed about matters that required my attention. His ...communication style was refreshingly direct and easy to understand. I was pleasantly surprised by how the entire process went under his guidance from start to finish. Considering the level of service provided to my family the fee charged by the firm was quite reasonable. I wholeheartedly advise this firm without hesitation, to both my ones and acquaintances going forward.

I wholeheartedly recommend his services.

After considering other attorneys, I ultimately chose Russel Morgan to assist me in creating my estate plan. For quite some time, I had been contemplating the idea of establishing a trust, but the process seemed intricate and bewildering. However, Russel completely transformed my perspective. Alongsi...de his exceptional team, he implemented a straightforward and easily comprehensible approach to gather all the necessary information, assess my requirements and desires, and ultimately devise a comprehensive plan. Through his expertise, creating an estate plan became an effortless and enjoyable experience. Now, I can rest assured knowing that my estate will be efficiently managed in accordance with my wishes. Russel possesses all the qualities one seeks in an attorney: efficiency, knowledgeability, responsiveness, and approachability. I wholeheartedly recommend his services. And if that isn't convincing enough, when I presented my trust documents to the Bank's trust department for management, they expressed that it was the most comprehensive trust they had ever encountered. What more could you possibly need to know?

I wholeheartedly recommend the services provided by Russel Morgan

I decided it was about time to update my will and plan my estate. When I had my conversation with Russel he asked me about what I wanted to achieve. When we met in person a few days later I could sense that he was the choice for me. Russel Morgan made me feel comfortable and relaxed. He listened atte...ntively to my concerns, gave suggestions and promptly answered all of my questions. The documents were prepared quickly for me to review and any doubts or queries I had were promptly addressed. On top of being friendly Russel is highly knowledgeable. Maintains a demeanor throughout. I wholeheartedly recommend the services provided by Russel Morgan.

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.
