Atty. John B. Morgan
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.
