    I came to the Law Office of Inna Fershteyn & Associates because my grandmother needed a will, and…read morewe couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we walked into the office, we were greeted by a friendly and welcoming staff who made us feel comfortable right away. The office has a warm atmosphere, which helped put my grandmother at ease. Inna is an exceptional attorney. She took the time to answer all of my grandmother's questions with patience and kindness, and she explained every part of the process in a way that was easy to understand. She never made us feel rushed and made sure my grandmother felt confident in every decision. By the end of the consultation, my grandmother said she felt like a huge burden had been lifted off her shoulders. It was such a relief to know her wishes would be properly documented and that everything was handled with such care and professionalism. If you're looking for an experienced, compassionate, and knowledgeable estate planning attorney, I would highly recommend the Law Office of Inna Fershteyn & Associates.

Worth Every Penny, explained all the best options and chose something that worked best for me! It didn't feel transactional or like a copy and paste situation but rather something that was custom designed by her just for me. Thank you again for your time, effort and knowledge.

    Russel Morgan Legal Group Review…read more Extremely grateful to have found Russel Morgan and his legal group, back in 2019 my mother had fallen ill with cancer and after her passing, me as the youngest sibling, was stuck dealing with real estate she had left for me and my siblings but there was no will and three children, this was by default a headache or so I thought until I had the chance of meeting Mr. Morgan. We sat down and in a matter of one hour he had managed to put all of my questions to rest and give me the peace of mind I needed as well as the guidance to proceed in the best legal way, we had been fighting my case for months before there could actually be an answer to my questions, I visited multiple lawyers to try and get their opinion on the matter but everyone would tell me the same thing "It's a complicated matter specially since there's no will". Upon moving to NYC and pretty much making peace with the idea of letting the real estate just go to waste and allow the bank to take over I met this lady at my job whom I mentioned the situation to and she told me about the Morgan Legal Group and how they helped her when she had to handle legal matters of any sort. She mentioned that he was the best lawyer in Manhattan and he would surely provide options that would make me realize I just hadn't had the chance of meeting with a lawyer who genuinely cares for what he is doing, who is passionate in his job and strives to deliver justice and the right information to his clients. Fast forward I made a call and scheduled my initial consultation with Mr. Morgan and from there my mind was able to rest easy and all of my questions were answered, he was very diligent and exploited all the options and resources to help me win this over and keep the house where I grew up and created so many memories in, other lawyers advised that I should just let it go "get into some new real estate, it's cheaper" but Mr. Morgan didn't even consider that for a second, he got all the right information, he was communicative, diligent and thorough with his work, within a short period of time I was receiving notice from the bank that the house would be remaining under the power of my family and we even managed to renegotiate a better payment plan with lower rates and more benefits than the ones my mother had established for her home prior to her death. The Morgan Legal group is filled with people who KNOW what they are doing, who LOVE what they are doing, who COMMUNICATE the way they work on things and who STRIVE to deliver the best result by any means necessary to those who arrive in a state of despair, he is now my appointed lawyer for absolutely everything that needs to be handled legally and I will keep recommending him every opportunity I may have because he changed my life through his genuine actions, he empathized with my situation and took it upon himself like it was his own.

    Mr. Russell Morgan is a competent attorney. However, he depends too much on delegation. It is…read moreperfectly fine for an attorney to assign legal drafting to a competent paralegal so long as whatever product that unlicensed legal professional produces is CAREFULLY reviewed by a licensed attorney. Furthermore, while a paralegal can certainly assist in legal research, they should not be the ones doing legal counseling. When a client calls the office with a substantive legal question, someone licensed to practice law needs to answer that question. Attorney Morgan's prices for estate planning are high compared to other similar firms in NYC - they are not unreasonable but on the higher end. Regardless of what you are paying for legal services, you should expect competent representation, but when you are spending a premium, you expect to see the value. At the very least, you should not wait months for straightforward legal documents to be produced, nor should you have to constantly chase down the attorney to keep the ball rolling. And no matter how high-end or low-end a law firm is, you should never receive a final document littered with errors. However, that is precisely the experience Mr. Morgan provided. We received a deed document transfer that had the wrong name listed, the wrong LLC listed (one that was not associate with us at all), and the wrong buyer attorney listed. And no, it is not as if they sent the wrong documents because the information was correct in some places. The issue is that Mr. Morgan delegated the drafting of the document to someone who did an incredibly sloppy job, and Mr. Morgan failed to review the document before having us sign it. Worse was that there was very little accountability. Yes, he apologized when the situation was brought to his attention, but then he proceeded to make numerous excuses, one being that the company he uses to draft the documents doesn't usually make mistakes like that. Even if that is accurate, and this is a rare mistake, he still obviously did not review the documents before having us sign and notarize them. If this was a review for the final approval situation, fair enough, though even then, it's not a great practice to send your client documents that haven't been proofread. But again, this was a notarized document with several glaring errors - unacceptable. I am sorry, but there is never an excuse for an attorney to produce delayed and sloppy work. I. do not care how busy your firm is, part of being in this profession is knowing how to manage your case load. You either need to hire more attorneys or accept less cases, but what you cannot do is send out legal documents that have not been reviewed. This was not only an unpleasant experience. I dare say it was incompetent to the point where I am seriously considering contacting the Bar.
