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 !

Russel Morgan and his team are truly exceptional, in their expertise regarding estate planning and end of life preparations. They possess knowledge in this field. Excellent in providing both professional and friendly service to their clients. We were genuinely impressed by the comprehensive and detai...led estate plan presented to us by Russel and his team. It was easy for us to understand. With their guidance we were able to complete all the steps within a week. Thanks to their efforts we now have an estate plan at a one time cost. There is no doubt that Russel and his team's estate attorneys making their agency one of the best we have ever encountered. We wholeheartedly recommend them!

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!

Thank you

With many firms knowing that we unintentionally waited that long to request for lawyers help in securing long-term healthcare insurance for ourselves, the charges were ridiculous. A family member suggested I reach out to Russel Morgan from Morgan Legal Group PC, and yes, they handled the Elder Law ca...se with precision and swiftness and even suggested we create proper Wills and Trusts in place so that our kids and relatives do not have to go through the stress of the Probate process. Of course, we took the advice and the representing advocate delivered a perfect Estate Planning that only an expert could produce. Saying these guys are amazing is undermining their professionalism, they are astounding, one of kind!

He provides exceptional service

Worked with Mr. Morgan on a sale of a home we were buying off of our parents. He completed all the documentation and walked us through the process. His prices were reasonable and recommendations were priceless! I give Russel Morgan the highest recommendation!

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.
