Revocable Trust

Morgen and staff were very thorough and efficient in constructing my revocable trust and updating my will. At the end of the process, I was given a thick folder that covered every aspect of my estate and every document needed for my beneficiaries. Great job.

Home buying

Morgen and her entire team at Four Corner Legacy Law was an absolute pleasure to work with! They recently guided my sister and I through the purchase of a home and made us feel comfortable and secure throughout the entire process. We highly recommend them and will continue to use them for all of our ...legal needs in the future.

Perfect for incorporation needs!

I needed to set up an LLC fairly quickly, and Morgen took care of the entire process with great attention to detail. Her knowledge and experience are deep, and she is an absolute pleasure to work with. I could not recommend a better lawyer to solve my incorporation needs.

Excellent Real Estate Attorney

We hired Morgen Bowers for our home purchase in Valatie this summer. We were moving across state lines and ended up with a rather difficult transaction (unexpected on all fronts) - Morgen was our rock through the whole process. She is efficient, smart, straight-forward, and honest. She always let us ...know what to expect, what our options were, and guided us through the process. Her staff is wonderful as well. We ended up with a house we love and all parties happy with the outcome. I would use Morgen again for any legal needs in a heartbeat.

Great Lawyer

Morgen has helped me over the years on a number of issues. My last issue had me unnerved and Morgen quickly called me (on a weekend) and I was oh so grateful. She is strategic , and personable, and definitely guided me through the situation so that I could resolve it quickly and effectively with the ...least amount of expense. She is knowledgeable about both business and personal matters . And I’d highly recommend her.

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.
