What We Do

John Morgan became a lawyer with a simple mission: To fight for the people, and not the powerful. After experiencing firsthand the perils of choosing the wrong lawyer and representation after his brother Tim was paralyzed, he dedicated his life to helping people so that no one should ever have to go through what his family endured.

Tim was just a teenager when he was working as a lifeguard at Disney World when he suffered a spinal injury that left him confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. The Morgans made a life altering decision and they hired the wrong lawyer, who was by no means qualified to take on such a large corporation and their army of lawyers. As a result, Tim never got the compensation he deserved.

This experience left John outraged and determined to level the playing field for all people who, like his brother Tim, were injured or mistreated by big and powerful corporations. John decided to become a lawyer, and the rest is history.

Since 1988, Morgan & Morgan has been fighting for the people. Every client who walks through our doors is treated the same way John wished his family would have been treated all those years ago. No one, no matter who they are, or where they’re from, should ever feel powerless when fighting for the justice and compensation they deserve.

With $20 Billion dollars recovered for our clients, offices across 50 states + Washington D.C. and an army of over 1,000 attorneys - we are everywhere for everyone.

All law firms are not the same. There’s only one Morgan & Morgan.
