John Morgan doesn't just talk about fighting for the people—he's built his entire life around it.
In 1988, John and his wife, Ultima, founded Morgan & Morgan with a simple but powerful mission: to ensure that no one—no matter their background or financial means—gets outmatched in the courtroom by powerful corporations and insurance companies.
“I see Tim in every single person who walks through our doors, and I’ll be fighting for them all until the day I die.”
For John, the fight is personal. As a sophomore at the University of Florida, his brother, Tim Morgan, was paralyzed while working as a lifeguard at Walt Disney World. The Morgan family put their trust in a lawyer who failed them, and they saw firsthand how the legal system can chew up those without power. The injustice changed John’s life—he vowed to become the lawyer his family never had, and to continue to stand up for people who have been wronged.
What started as a small firm in Florida has grown into America's largest injury law firm, with:
1,000+ attorneys
50+ practice areas
$25+ billion recovered for clients.
John's work extends beyond the courtroom, as well. He's led major ballot initiatives—like the fight to legalize medical marijuana in Florida and the push to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. Today, he continues to support causes that matter to families nationwide.
