Services
Morgan & Morgan offers a comprehensive suite of legal services centered primarily on personal injury law, though they have expanded their practice areas significantly as they've grown into a national firm.
Their core expertise lies in handling cases involving auto accidents, where they provide representation for victims dealing with insurance companies and responsible parties. Their practice extends into specialized areas including birth injury, medical malpractice, and premises liability cases where their size and resources allow them to undertake extensive investigations and expert consultations.
The firm's attorneys also handle complex litigation in areas like mass torts, class actions, and product liability, leveraging their substantial resources to take on manufacturers of defective products and corporate defendants in multi-plaintiff actions. Beyond traditional personal injury work, Morgan & Morgan has expanded into areas such as employment law, intellectual property, estate planning, family law, and business litigation, offering clients access to specialized legal expertise across numerous practice areas. Their practice now encompasses more than 50 distinct legal specialties, including social security disability claims, workers' compensation cases, and civil rights litigation.

Summary
Morgan & Morgan stands as a dominant force in the personal injury landscape, leveraging its position as America's largest injury law firm to secure substantial verdicts and settlements for clients nationwide. Founded by John Morgan in 1988, the firm has grown from its Florida roots to establish a presence in all 50 states while maintaining its family-owned character.
The firm's primary strength lies in its sheer scale and resources, enabling it to take on powerful opponents like insurance companies and large corporations with confidence. Their extensive marketing campaigns have created strong brand recognition, while their size allows them to handle everything from routine auto accidents to complex mass torts and class actions across numerous practice areas.
However, this growth has not come without challenges. Critics and competitors point to the firm's volume-based approach as potentially sacrificing personalized attention, while recent litigation has raised questions about case management practices as the firm expanded rapidly. Despite these concerns, Morgan & Morgan continues to secure impressive results for many clients, particularly in high-value cases that benefit from the firm's substantial resources and willingness to pursue litigation rather than accepting early settlement offers.
