"I endorse this lawyer. I retired as a U.S. Immigration Judge after 20 years with the U.S. Department of Justice. Now, having returned to private practice, I have had the opportunity to work with attorney Michael A. Morgan. He is very knowledgeable regarding the immigration laws. Most importantly, he is passionate about obtaining the best results in representing his clients in immigration matters. I have personally referred an extremely difficult case to him and his partner wherein they were able to obtain the best results. He is a strong advocate for his clients. He does not quit in his pursuit of justice in immigration matters for his clients. I respect and admire his tenacity. Absolutely blessed to have him as a colleague!"

"Michael Morgan is an excellent attorney who combines an understanding of the law with compassionate and zealous representation of his clients. It is unfortunate that our government has taken such oppressive measures against immigrants to this country; those who have come here or who live here under the threat of arrest and/or deportation could not be better served than by being represented by Michael. He is fighting the good fight daily."

"Mr. Morgan is an outstanding lawyer who stands out immediately because of his dedication, transparency and thoroughness. He is, in my opinion, as fierce an advocate as individuals in difficult situations can get. He is also a very good researcher and enjoys learning the law as much as defending it in a court room. It is a great combination."

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.
