Morgan & Morgan's History

In 1988, Morgan & Morgan was founded by John Morgan in Orlando, FL. The small office was made up of three attorneys, two paralegals, and a receptionist. Our well-known motto, "For the People," originated in those early days. It was not just a saying, but a way of life for John Morgan. Unlike many other firms Morgan built his office by hiring the best trial attorneys in each legal community and giving them all of the resources necessary to fight the insurance companies and obtain huge verdicts. Morgan & Morgan quickly became known as a collection of experienced trial attorneys who will accept nothing less than full compensation for their clients' injuries. It was John Morgan's dream to establish Morgan & Morgan as the best plaintiff's trial firm in the state of Florida.

By 1992, the firm expanded to eight lawyers, ten paralegals, and a sizable support staff. Morgan & Morgan then began to focus on medical malpractice and began to experience success trying cases before juries.

By 1995, the firm had grown to 25 lawyers, and a second office in Tampa was opened. By 1999, the firm was composed of 40 attorneys and 40 paralegals and had begun to specialize in nationwide mass tort litigation. In the past decade, Morgan & Morgan has opened offices in Fort Myers, Jacksonville, Ft. Lauderdale, Daytona Beach, St. Petersburg, Atlanta, GA, Jackson, MS, and Memphis TN. The firm has grown to over 180 attorneys with a support staff of 1,000 people. In the last year, Morgan & Morgan attorneys tried more Plaintiff's personal injury cases than any other firm in the Southeastern United States. We are proud to say that we have obtained multi-million dollar verdicts in courts throughout the country and made a dramatic difference in the lives of countless families who have hired us to represent them.

To this day, John Morgan's original vision is still going strong: FOR THE PEOPLE.
