I highly recommend Russel Morgan and his team

Look no further; you've come to the right place. This legal group is absolutely fantastic. My wife and I relocated to this area approximately a year ago and decided to make some adjustments to our estate plans. After reading their outstanding reviews, we chose to work with Russel Morgan and his excep...tional team. We couldn't be happier with our decision. They possess an extensive knowledge of their field and are incredibly responsive. They approach situations with both analytical and creative thinking. Moreover, they adapt to your preferred pace. When I expressed my desire for a swift process, they delivered accordingly. I highly recommend Russel Morgan and his team.

Posted by Deborah Phillips | September 14, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Estate Planning

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've had the privilege of collaborating with law firms throughout my years for creating Wills and Estate Planning. However my experience with Russel Morgan has truly been exceptional in terms of thoroughness and organization. Their attention to detail and dedication to follow up were truly remarkable.... What truly impressed me was their long term perspective unlike law firms that treat it as a one time project. On top of that they provide a review process, something I've never encountered with any attorney before. Opting to work with Russel Morgan has proven to be a decision. I feel confident in saying that we now have a well established estate plan..

Smoothly and efficiently

I had some concerns about estate planning. I contacted Russel Morgan for guidance. We set up a Zoom meeting, where I securely uploaded all the necessary documents to their platform. The entire process went smoothly and efficiently. Mr. Morgan demonstrated knowledge, communicated clearly and maintaine...d an honest demeanor throughout our conversation. He took the time to understand my situation and offered advice, on which steps I could handle on my own. Enough he advised me against using his services for tasks that I originally thought were necessary but turned out to be unnecessary. Despite my offer to compensate him for his advice he kindly declined. Instead suggested when it would be appropriate for me to seek his services in the future. I definitely plan on doing !

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.
