Russel Morgan’s dedication to client-centered advocacy and education has made him one of New York’s most trusted legal minds.
A Journey Rooted in Resilience
Hi, I’m Russel Morgan, founder of Morgan Legal Group. I come from an immigrant family, arriving in the United States at the age of six as a refugee fleeing religious persecution in Ukraine during the 1990s. We came to this country with little more than what we could carry on the plane. These humble beginnings have shaped my passion for helping those with limited access to resources and education, particularly the most vulnerable. My mission as a lawyer is to protect and empower individuals because my own family had to navigate life without the luxury of access or support.
My father has been the guiding force in my career. He arrived in the United States with nothing but worked tirelessly to ensure his children received the best education and opportunities for a better life. He instilled in me the importance of financial literacy, investing, and planning for the future. His teachings taught me that success is rooted in preparation and persistence. These values are at the core of my law practice.
Building Morgan Legal Group from the Ground Up
Starting my law practice was no easy feat. I began in a tiny, one-room office with no capital. I built everything from scratch—advertising, marketing, infrastructure, staffing—everything. I developed a reputation for doing what I say and saying what I do. My mission has always been to help those without access to knowledge or resources, leveling the playing field because everyone deserves to control their own destiny. Their background or access to resources should limit no one.
The Challenges of Breaking Into the Legal Industry
The road to success has been anything but smooth. Breaking into any industry means making a name for yourself, and in law, that means delivering results—no exceptions. The hardest part was staying competitive while maintaining the highest standard of service. With limited financing, I had to be strategic with every decision, ensuring my trial and error was calculated. My 15 years of marketing experience have given me a business edge, but even now, growing a business means constantly adapting to market changes and capitalizing on opportunities despite the obstacles.
Persistence and Consistency: The Keys to Success
Persistence and consistency in delivering quality work have been the cornerstones of my practice. Going above and beyond for my clients, whether reviewing a simple document as a courtesy or assisting a family member with an unrelated issue, has set Morgan Legal Group apart from the competition. In my experience, going the extra mile always pays off tenfold. Building a legal practice while managing the business side is a constant balancing act, but it’s worth it to provide peace of mind to our clients.

What Makes New York Special
New York City is one of the most dynamic cities in the world, and I am proud to call it home. The energy, diversity, and opportunities here are unparalleled. It’s a city that fosters growth, innovation, and creativity. However, like any major city, New York also presents its challenges. The fast-paced nature of the city means you must always stay ahead of the curve. But it’s this very environment that pushes me and my firm to evolve and improve constantly.
Looking to the Future
At Morgan Legal Group, we are excited about the future. We are constantly expanding our services, growing our team, and looking for new ways to serve our clients better. We recently opened an office in Florida and are planning to continue building on this momentum by opening offices coast to coast and internationally.
