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.
