Posted by Jessica Mason | February 05, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Estate Planning

Positive experience with lawyer

The advantages of structuring my ultimate desires about assets in a manner that would be of significant service to my heirs were articulated by Attorney Russel in a professional manner. During my visit to his office, he was able to put together a will, a living will, a durable power of attorney, and ...a deed transfer in a highly efficient manner. As a consequence of this, while I was leaving, I had an overwhelming sense of peace. Atty. Russel and the Morgan Legal Group have provided me with great services, and I do not hesitate to recommend them without reservation.

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 expert advice

I was seeking expert guidance on estate planning and was fortunate enough to connect with Russel Morgan. I expressed my difficulty in comprehending the legal jargon and phrases used in the documents. Russel immediately put me at ease by providing advice in a simplified manner that I could easily unde...rstand. He patiently answered all my questions, and his professionalism was commendable. Moreover, he even sent me an email afterward, as requested, containing concise bullet points of what to do and when. I would recommend him to anyone seeking legal advice on estate planning. Thank you once again, 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!
