My experience with this firm has been marred by unresponsiveness, unprofessionalism, and blatant dishonesty. After hiring them for a guardianship case in early 2023, communication was almost non-existent, and updates had to be chased down constantly. When I would question the amount of time it would take for a response, I would get snide remarks like, “You only reached out a couple days ago.” The case frequently changed attorneys without notification or updates, another reason I had to hunt down who was assigned to the case. Even after I OFFICIALLY terminated services in writing in September 2024, in Janaury 2025, I was hit with inflated balances and unauthorized charges for services rendered in December 2024, almost a year after the AIP transitioned and SEVEN months after having ZERO communication with anyone. Yasmin threatened me with arbitration and to charge me “9% daily in interest,” a ridiculous, outlandish stipulation that is not on the retainer agreement. “This is non-negotiable!” When I refused to pay over $2000 in services I didn’t agree to (i had already exercised my right to terminate), Yasmin used my saved credit card on file to charge it anyway and refused to rectify it! I was only refunded and issued credit after I starkly informed them of my intention to escalate to the NY Bar Association. They sent back a bunch of excuses, but I have the paper trail (and my credit!), soI didn’t bother bantering with them about it.

As a client, I am “entitled to be treated with courtesy and consideration at all times by my lawyer and non-lawyer personnel in my lawyer’s office.” It is also my right to be reasonably informed and have my communications responded to in a timely manner. That was not my experience working with this firm–courtesy and prompt attention were non-existent. The staff have a history of being disrespectful and condescending. One of my few attorneys said the office is run by “immature high schoolers” and I agree. I told the named partner via email documenting unprofessionalism with Destiny (one said High Schooler) a few days after i signed my retainer agreement–i know, I should have ran then! The same demeaning, degrading, bullying–and additionally blatantly dishonest–behavior continued to be evident through my interaction with Yasmin.

This firm has failed to meet basic standards of courtesy, professionalism, and client care. They are dishonest, disorganized and unreliable. If you’re looking for reliable legal representation and for them to uphold your client rights, look elsewhere. Definitely not here!

My mother's financial power of attorney and advance directive were handled expertly by the Morgan Legal Group team. Since I had no experience with estate planning, choosing a company that could help us first seemed overwhelming. But Russel and his crew made sure there was no stress involved, from the first call to the final signing. They were accommodating, friendly, and highly professional; they answered all of our questions and gave clear, thorough explanations. It was a quick and easy process all around, and I highly recommend using their services. An overwhelming five stars in my opinion.

I had a fantastic experience with Atty. Russel Morgan and his entire legal team. The entire process was faultless, from the initial consultation at their law firm office to the final preparation and signing of my Estate Planning package. This has given me enormous peace of mind, knowing that in the event of incapacity or premature death, all of my intentions will be carried out and implemented. Atty. Russel Morgan and his colleagues genuinely deserve a 5+ star review for the professionalism, sensitivity, and generosity exhibited to me as a client.

After spending months researching information online and seeking advice through the internet I decided to approach Russel Morgan to help me with my documents. Right from the start Russel showed attentiveness as he listened to my concerns about planning. He took the time to explain each New York law that I might unintentionally violate and how it could complicate matters for both me and my family. What stood out to me was not not only his expertise but also the genuine care he displayed during our conversations. It felt like we were having a discussion between brothers than a typical attorney client interaction driven solely by financial considerations. Having dealt with attorneys across areas such as business, real estate and other legal matters I can confidently say that none have earned my trust much as Russel Morgan has. With confidence I am entrusting himwith my entire estate plan because I genuinely believe that he is someone I can truly rely on

The idea of applying for Medicaid on behalf of my mother felt overwhelming. I experienced a mix of fear and uncertainty as I tackled the paperwork and submissions. However Morgan Legal Group offered me the reassurance and peace of mind that I needed to proceed. I cannot stress enough how valuable their guidance has been, throughout this process. They patiently walked me through each step addressing all my concerns and ensuring an experience. Currently they are also assisting us with our estate planning. I must say they continue to impress us with their work ethic and approachability. Whenever we have questions or need assistance they respond promptly and thoroughly without any hesitation !!

I've always been impressed by Russel’s professionalism ever since we first met. Whenever I have questions about estate planning he's always quick to respond and goes above and beyond to help me understand the complexities of the field. Despite the distance between us Russel makes it easy for us to communicate through channels like phone, email and text. He even offers weekend appointments, which's really convenient for someone like me who works away from his office.What really sets Russel apart is his commitment to prioritize his clients best interests, which is a rare quality in today's market.I'm excited to continue working with Mr. Morgan in the years

We've had an experience collaborating with Mr. Morgan. Dealing with the probate process during a time after losing my parents has been physically and emotionally exhausting. That's why it's so important to find someone dependable to help you in situations... That someone is Mr. Russel Morgan. What makes him stand out is his attentiveness and accessibility. Unlike attorneys we've worked with in the past who lacked communication skills Mr. Morgan ensures that we stay well informed about the progress of our case. Whether its, through email responses, text messages or brief conversations he and his team consistently deliver service ! Working with Russel Morgan has been sailing. I recommend him without any hesitation !!

My wife and I approached Mr. Morgan to make revisions to our trust. We communicated our desired changes to him, and he provided us with exceptional advice regarding the requested updates. Additionally he offered valuable suggestions on the existing trust documents. Despite the complexity of our trust, Mr. Morgan efficiently and accurately implemented the updates. The entire staff at Morgan Legal Group was polite, friendly, and prompt in their assistance. We found the cost of these revisions to be very reasonable.Several months later my adult nephew tragically passed away from natural causes, leaving behind his children. During this challenging time, Mr. Morgan made himself available to offer guidance and support as I assisted my brother through the process. I highly recommend Morgan Legal Group for their expertise in trust, probate, and estate planning.
