Today We’d Like to Introduce You to Russel Morgan
Hi Russel, We’d Love for You to Start by Introducing Yourself
I come from an immigrant family; we arrived in this country when I was 6 years old, fleeing religious persecution in Ukraine during the 90s. My family came with nothing but what we could carry on the plane. My passion for my practice stems from a deep desire to help those with limited access to resources and education—those who are often the most vulnerable. My mission is to protect them, as my family had to learn to navigate life without the luxury of access to resources.
My father has always been the driving force behind my career. Arriving in the United States with nothing, he spent his life working tirelessly to ensure that his children received the best education and could live better lives. His focus on teaching us about money management, investing, and planning for the future instilled in me the importance of securing today for a better tomorrow.
I started my law practice in a tiny, one-room office with no capital, building everything from the ground up—advertising, marketing, infrastructure, staffing—and I built my reputation simply by doing what I said I would do and saying what I did. Beneath it all, my mission has always been, and will always be, to help those without the knowledge, resources, or access to education. I aim to level the playing field because everyone deserves to control their destiny and should not be hindered by their background or lack of access to knowledge or resources.
Alright, So Let’s Dig a Little Deeper into the Story—Has It Been an Easy Path Overall, and If Not, What Were the Challenges You’ve Had to Overcome?
Breaking into any industry means making a name for yourself, and this requires one thing above all else: delivery. The hardest part has always been staying competitive while ensuring the highest quality of product and service delivery. Limited financing meant I had to ensure that every decision was calculated, even if it involved some risk. My 15 years of marketing experience definitely gave me an edge in building my business.
Even today, it’s hard to say that the road has been smooth. Growing a business requires adapting to market changes and, most importantly, capitalizing on those changes, regardless of the obstacles. The legal landscape is constantly evolving, and staying ahead means embracing those shifts and turning them into opportunities.

What Do You Like and Dislike About the City?
New York City is the heart of business, culture, and innovation. Its fast-paced environment forces you to stay sharp and constantly adapt, which is both exhilarating and challenging. The city’s diversity is unmatched, bringing together people from all walks of life, which enriches both personal and professional experiences.
However, the intensity of New York can also be overwhelming at times. The competition is fierce, and the cost of living and doing business is high. But these challenges have also pushed me to innovate, refine my practice, and continuously strive for excellence. The city’s demands have helped shape Morgan Legal Group into the successful firm it is today.
