Grateful for expert advice

I was seeking expert guidance on estate planning and was fortunate enough to connect with Russel Morgan. I expressed my difficulty in comprehending the legal jargon and phrases used in the documents. Russel immediately put me at ease by providing advice in a simplified manner that I could easily unde...rstand. He patiently answered all my questions, and his professionalism was commendable. Moreover, he even sent me an email afterward, as requested, containing concise bullet points of what to do and when. I would recommend him to anyone seeking legal advice on estate planning. Thank you once again, Russel!

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!

strongly recommend!

STRONGLY RECOMMEND! Russel and his colleagues were a tremendous resource for our estate planning needs, and they helped us construct a plan that provides us peace of mind that all of our wishes and family needs will be satisfied if something were to happen to my husband and me, or one of us. The comp...any was highly responsive and professional. Russel is really knowledgeable and made his advice simple for us to understand. Legal jargon can be perplexing, but he took the time to walk us through all pages of our plans and explain everything in detail. He also identified professionals to assist us in carrying out our estate plan, making the process even easier.

10/10

Attorney Russel Morgan is truly outstanding! I had the privilege of working with him on my Probate/Trust case. I couldn't be more delighted with the result. From the moment I hired him he showed kindness and concern easing my emotions. Mr. Morgan possesses all the qualities one would seek in an attor...ney. He handled my case promptly and efficiently keeping me informed and patiently addressing all my inquiries to ensure I comprehended each stage of the process. His commitment to my case felt like having an angel by my side. Without any hesitation I wholeheartedly recommend him for any Estate Planning, Probate or Trust matters. If there were stars to award he would certainly deserve them. In my opinion he is simply unmatched! Again I cannot emphasize enough how strongly I recommend Attorney Russel Morgan.

Professionalism and attention to detail.

After moving from Pennsylvania to New York my husband and I realized the importance of updating our trust documents. We asked a friend for recommendations. She suggested Russel Morgan. We're incredibly grateful for her suggestion because Russel and his team have shown professionalism and attention to... detail. Throughout the process Russel met with us times either in person or via Zoom ensuring that we fully comprehended and felt at ease, with the changes being made. There's no doubt that Russel's an exceptional estate planning professional. We wholeheartedly endorse his services for anyone seeking estate planning assistance. He's truly the best!

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.
