Russel Morgan's Reviews

Posted by Tim Werley | January 04, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Guardianship

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.

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!

Thank you!

I have worked with numerous lawyers across various specialties and I must say that Russel stands out as one of my absolute favorites. His unwavering commitment to ethical standards, attentive listening skills, and ability to provide well-informed and decisive answers to questions truly impressed me. ...I felt completely at ease sharing my personal information with him. As I continue with my estate and business planning I have full confidence that Russel genuinely has my best interests at heart. I am sincerely grateful for his assistance. Thank you!

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 !

5 stars!

While drafting my will Russel Morgan made sure that I knew he was always available, and always ready to listen. He made it clear that he truly valued me as a client and had the integrity to not craft a will that was anything less than perfect.

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.
