Posted by Joshua Newman | July 28, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Estate Planning

Exceptional customer service

Russel Morgan was professional in all aspects of helping me put together a new will. He was diplomatic and sensitive in discussing my feelings and preferences for my revocable living trust. Can highly recommend

Posted by Nickolas Waters | July 22, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Wills & Living Wills

Exceptional experience!

Russel Morgan helped me to create a health care proxy and a living will. I was glad at the interest he showed to my case, including his attitude. He ensured that I understood the purpose of the documents and also made the right provisions. His advices were valuable as well. Thanks Russel!

Highly recommend!

Highly recommend calling Mr. Russell Morgan. I have hired him as an estate lawyer near me, and he outlined my estate planning choices, explained thoroughly, then prepared documents. We continue to meet every couple of years to ensure I'm up-to-date. Highly recommend

Posted by Ethan McDaniel | December 17, 2020 | Probate

Highly recommend!

It was easy to work with Russel Morgan, a professional probate attorney near me, and ready to answer any questions. He got us through some tough decisions that we put off for too many years! Highly recommend!

Russel was very helpful and generous with his time after I contacted him with some complicated estate planning questions. He was a huge help.

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.
