Founded by Russel Morgan.
Built on Results.

Russel Morgan founded this firm with one conviction: every family deserves an attorney who answers the phone. Twenty years and 5,000+ cases later, that's still how we operate. No call centers. No runaround. Your attorney picks up.

We handle estate planning, probate, elder law, and personal injury for families across New York and Florida. Our clients aren't case numbers — they're the families we see at the courthouse, the business owners we advise over coffee, and the parents who sleep better knowing their kids are protected.

  • Same-day response — we return every call the day you make it
  • You talk to your attorney directly. Not a paralegal. Not a voicemail.
  • Flat-fee pricing on estate plans. No surprises.
