Efficient and effective lawyer

The honor of working with Russel allowed our family to ensure that our revocable trust and estate plan were up to date and compliant with New York law. He had a great depth of expertise, which made working with him an absolute delight. Throughout the procedure, he was not only attentive and meticulou...s, but also responsible and polite. Because of our growing faith in him, the whole process felt quite natural. Under his direction, we made wise choices and finished this important assignment.

The best recommendation

We were able to meet with the Morgan Legal Group team to discuss Estate Planning. Russel's expertise and ability to break down the intricate details of the procedure made it easy for us to grasp the intricacy and legal considerations involved greatly impressed us. He took the time to thoroughly addre...ss our specific situation and assisted us in drafting a complete collection of documentation that will be essential if the need arises. We wholeheartedly endorse Russel and his colleagues at Morgan Legal Group for all of your Estate Planning needs.

We heartily endorse Russel and his services!

Working with Russel and his crew was a true pleasure. They convey professionalism, experience, and a warm, welcoming approach. Mr. Morgan's comprehensive knowledge of estate planning, particularly numerous trust choices, is simply outstanding. We recently had the pleasure of establishing a Trust, as ...well as new wills, powers of attorney, health and financial directives, and other legal documents. For the first time in our lives, we are confident and comfortable with our estate planning selections. We heartily endorse Russel and his services!

highly recommend

Working with Russel Morgan was an absolute joy. He provided us with invaluable guidance and support throughout the entire process of understanding an existing trust and will, and helped us draft all the new documents we needed. What really stood out to me was his attention to detail - he brought up s...everal important points that we had not previously considered, which ultimately helped us make more informed decisions. His expertise in this area is truly impressive, and I felt confident in his ability to guide us through the process. I would highly recommend Russel Morgan to anyone in need of legal assistance with trusts and wills.

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.
