Posted by anonymous | March 15, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Probate

Dishonest and Beyong Unethical

All communication goes through her paralegal. She has incorrect or zero knowledge of our case when attending hearings. Does not inform clients of upcoming hearings. Dishonest to both judges and other lawyers. Absolutely destroyed my son’s estate due to repeated accounting mistakes. After my son sudde...nly and tragically lost his dad and I lost my husband, she destroyed our financial future. Beware.

Amazing and compassionate

I have no words to say how thankful we are to Darlynn and Karen that made the process so much simpler and easily understood. As stressed as I was I was able to get an amazing trust done and I know the process has given my husband and I peace of mind, thank you for your kindness, compassion and wuick...bturn around with the whole process. Thank you for explaining everything and thank you for being there to help us. We will be forever grateful!

Ease, Professionalism and Family-Friendly Environment

“Working with Morgan Law Group has been a rewarding and educational experience. I worked in law offices and with attorneys for years and the Morgan Law Group approach really sets them apart from the rest. Ryan and I were so pleased and relieved with the ease, professionalism and family-friendly env...ironment offered. It could not have been made easier for us."

Highly Recommend Estate Planning Services of Morgan Law Group

Just prior to leaving on an international trip, my husband and I realized that we had to seriously look at our affairs by updating our very outdated estate planning papers. We called on Morgan Law Group and were immediately ushered into a professional and timely sequence of meetings that gently guid...ed us in gathering our varied financial assets and coordinating them on one document so we could move effortlessly through a series of questions that would achieve our estate planning goals. We are more than satisfied with the result of our time with Darlynn Morgan and her team—we feel secure and prepared for the future. We highly recommend the estate planning services of Morgan Law Group. Sincerely, Becky T. Corona Del Mar, CA

Professional and Knowledgeable

We appreciate the job Darlynn did in helping us with our estate planning. She was professional and knowledgeable and answered all of our questions without using ‘legalese’. I now have the peace of mind that should anything happen to me or my husband, our interests are well taken care of.

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.
