Meet Max Hantel
Max Hantel is originally from Houston, Texas, where he developed a lifelong interest in ideas, justice, and public service. Before entering the legal profession, Max built a distinguished academic career as a professor, teaching political theory, feminist studies, and environmental politics at Rutgers University and Dartmouth College. His work in the classroom focused on examining power, equity, and accountability systems. Motivated to expand his impact beyond academia and serve people more directly, Max decided to pursue a legal career and graduated with honors from Harvard Law School.
After earning his law degree, Max focused his practice on representing individuals in complex and high-stakes litigation, including mass torts and cutting-edge technology cases. His background in critical analysis and public advocacy informs his thoughtful and strategic approach to litigation. Max is driven by a commitment to standing up for people facing powerful corporations and insurance companies, and he brings careful preparation and principled advocacy to every matter he handles.
Max now continues his work fighting for justice at Morgan and Morgan, where he remains dedicated to protecting the rights of individuals and families. He lives in Los Angeles with his family and values the balance between meaningful work and time spent at home. His career reflects a consistent theme of service, whether in the classroom or the courtroom, and a belief that the law can be a powerful tool for positive change.
