Mr. Morgan was able to effectively coordinate between conflicted family members in a timely fashion and win the case all in a professional manner.
Mr. Morgan is a very well educated and seasoned attorney. He reviewed my case and saw the impact. He helped to provide a voice for my brother who had been taken before his time. I am thankful that justice was served and for the counsel Mr. Morgan provided.
After being turned away from another attorney after my grandmother had been abused in a nursing home, Mr. Morgan found us and believed in our case and believed in retribution for my grandmother. He and his staff are professional friendly and communicate with all needs or concerns they may have. Amazing to work with!! 10 star review if there was an option!!
When the need arose to seek out help from a law firm specializing in elder abuse, I was very fortunate to find Lanzone Morgan. I cannot say enough great things about everyone! During what was a very difficult time regarding my Mother’s lack of proper care and treatment in a nursing home, the Lanzone Morgan team provided the empathy, compassion, and support one would receive from their own family. My initial contact was a meeting with Emily Jensen, who is the most sincere and compassionate soul that reviewed the allegations and immediately began fighting on behalf of my Mom. Emily remained in contact with me until eventually scheduling an introduction with Mr. James Morgan. From that point moving forward, I always felt the firm really cared for us. Their solicitude is further exemplified by the office wall displaying so many beautiful pictures of clients represented by the Lanzone Morgan firm. Emily and Mr. Morgan continued to follow my Mom’s declining health from the nursing home neglect, which ultimately led to her passing. Their frequent communication and concern always made me feel someone was fighting for my Mom. Every lawyer, para-legal, and staff member involved with the case worked as if it was their own mother who was neglected and abused. Each person brought a tremendous level of experience and compassion! To Emily and Mr. Morgan, I cannot thank you enough for your kind hearts and incredible dedication! Everyone’s efforts resulted in a favorable case resolution and on behalf of my Mom, I’m forever grateful. With great appreciation, Troy, Orange County
In less than six hours after filling out the online questionnaire, around eight am, I received a call from Emily, Jim's assistant. Emily made the appointment and I was sitting in his office talking with him that very afternoon. From the start, Jim was so prepared and informative and honest with me. When I first met Jim I felt relief, and for the first time since the beginning of this ordeal I felt hopeful. But more importantly, I felt respected and understood. Jim realized that my Mom was a valuable person. What Jim did was remarkable. Jim's professional and personal touch is beyond measure. Jim, we all thank you so much for helping our family through this difficult time. Thanks for acknowledging my Mother as more than just your client, but as a person who tried to live her life with pride and dignity. That's what you do, Jim, you don't represent clients, you touch souls.
I never met Mr. Morgan in person, but during one of the most difficult times in my life, he was an amazing advocate. He stood for truth and justice in an industry of elder care that shamefully harms the people it has vowed to protect. Mr. Morgan fought for my mother and our family and stood fast in doing an outstanding job against a big company...we were respected and appreciated, not lost in a system of red tape and stonewalls. He made a very difficult experience bearable and I thank him.
Services from Atty Morgan's office were professional, thorough, and most importantly timely. Attention to detail and presenting all options helped to make the process expedient with favorable results. He and his team are very personable and they CARE!!!!! From our family to yours, THANK You!! C. Henry Family
Having been thru several attempts to get an attorney to speak with me, it was a rare pleasure to open a conversation with Jim Morgan. He responded to my email inquiry within 2 hours (most do not!), asked logical, relevant questions, and spent a good portion of his day corresponding with me. It's obvious to me that he is working to preserve the highest standard of why attorneys exist, to help people navigate the legal system! Most people can tell when they're being used...and I feel Jim let me use his experience and knowledge, because it was right....not profitable. Thanks Jim!
I want to thank James for taking the time to speak with me regarding a malpractice law suit. Although his law firm didn't take the case I appreciate James telling me the truth in regards to my matter and referring me to a lawyer that might be able to assist. Way to go James! Steph
Jim Morgan provided very competent and humane representation in the aftermath of an elder abuse incident at a nursing home involving my close relative. He was always communicative and clear about all of our options in pursuing a case against the nursing home, and said up front that he'd spare our family as much time and energy dealing with the traumatic issue as possible - he delivered on that promise. He kept us informed about the negotiations only as necessary, and answered all of our questions right away. I felt in safe hands, and like I didn't need to worry about the situation working out for us as well as possible under the circumstances. The settlement outcome was very fair, and helped our family to feel a sense of justice and closure after such a difficult experience. I would recommend him to anyone in a similar situation.
