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.

Best decision!

When faced with the news of having cancer we immediately realized the need to sort out our affairs promptly. As we delved into our research we were surprised to discover the burdens that could impact our estate. Understanding that our wills were not sufficient we wanted to avoid probate processes and... simplify the inheritance process. However we were unsure where to turn for guidance. Luckily a few people recommended Russel Morgan to us. From the beginning of our interaction, with his team their caring attitude and professional approach made an impression on us. After consulting with them we decided on that day to trust them with establishing our Living Trust and handling all important matters such as wills and medical power of attorney. By making this choice we now feel confident, secure and reassured knowing that choosing Mr. Morgan was the decision we could have made.

Excellent experience!

The staff at Morgan Legal Group is not only friendly but also thorough, making the estate planning process easy to navigate. Initially, we were uncertain about whether to use an online tool or explore other lower-cost options to create our estate planning documents. However, we are grateful that we c...hose Morgan Legal Group instead. Although it did come with a higher cost, the peace of mind in knowing that everything is correct made it worthwhile. As parents with young children, we highly recommend taking this step to ensure you have plans in place and working with the exceptional team at Morgan Legal Group. We sincerely appreciate their great communication and the excellent experience they provided us with!

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.
