Thankful for professionalism

I definitely suggest Morgan Legal Group as a professional, experienced, and approachable law firm dealing in Guardianship. My mother was admitted to a nursing home last summer, and her living conditions and treatment there were appalling. Following her death, our family decided to seek legal advice i...n order to investigate the possibilities of taking legal action against the nursing facility for what we felt to be guardianship and neglect. We went with Morgan Legal Group and have never looked back. Attorney Russel's compassion for our loss and devotion to justice were attributes we all knew he would vigorously campaign for. Attorney Russel worked diligently for our family's fairness and excellent outcomes, as he does for all of his clients. We were quite pleased with the settlement we secured on my mother's behalf and the justice that was given. Thank you for your attention and assistance throughout this process, Attorney Russel.

Thanks for everything!

Finding out that the nursing home that cared for your fragile loved one ignored them is heartbreaking. I needed someone who believed in justice and holding neglectful parties accountable in such a difficult scenario. Elder Abuse Lawyer Russel Morgan was that individual. He explained the legal proces...s step-by-step. He kept me updated and was available to answer any queries. During this difficult period, Russel's assistance and compassion were vital. His priority was justice, but he also took the time to comprehend my loved one and me. I am so grateful Russel Morgan represented my loved one. If you struggle for justice, I highly recommend Morgan Legal Group. Russell, thanks for everything.

Thank you

My company got into an unpleasant situation, we have to get involved in lengthy corporate litigation. This is a very big time and money costs. In order to alleviate the situation, we turned to the Morgan Legal Group, they know very well on judicial and contractual law. The process really came to the ...finish line and soon everything will end. Special thanks to Russel Morgan for such a cool team of professionals!

Thanks

My Lawyer, Russel Morgan at Morgan Legal Group PC, was thorough in knowing the details of the real estate deal gone south that brought me to their office. He empathized with me and was not judgmental and more pleasant is that the issue was resolved without any loss

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.
