Russel Morgan, Esq.

Russel Morgan founded Morgan Legal Group with a simple premise: New York families deserve a single trusted firm that can handle the full arc of their financial and family legal needs — estate planning before the crisis, probate during it, and litigation if disputes follow. That premise drives everything from how new clients are screened to how matters are staffed.

Russel personally oversees every estate-planning engagement and every contested Surrogate's Court matter. His estate-planning practice focuses on outcomes, not paperwork: every revocable trust, irrevocable Medicaid asset-protection trust (MAPT), special-needs trust, and durable power of attorney is drafted to perform in the New York legal environment, where common-form templates routinely fail.

His probate and litigation work draws on a deep working knowledge of the Estates, Powers and Trusts Law (EPTL), the Surrogate's Court Procedure Act (SCPA), and the procedural realities of each county's Surrogate's Court — from Manhattan and Brooklyn to Nassau and Suffolk.

Russel earned his Juris Doctor from New York Law School and completed advanced coursework at Lloyd's of London on insurance and risk transfer — a foundation that informs his approach to asset protection and fiduciary risk for his clients today.

He is admitted to practice in the State of New York and is a member in good standing of the New York State Bar Association.

Russel is fluent in Russian and serves a substantial Russian-speaking client base across Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens. Outside the practice, he is active in community mentorship and education initiatives, particularly programs supporting children's educational outcomes.
