This guy became a lawyer to avenge his brother, and built a $2 billion empire! In 1977, John Morgan is in college when his dad calls with the worst news of his life. His brother Tim just broke his neck as a Disney lifeguard, diving into a lagoon to rescue a girl he thought had drowned, and ended up in a hospital unable to move anything below his neck. The family is poor, so they hire the wrong lawyer, and Disney spends years fighting them in court. Right there, John decides to spend the rest of his life fighting for the families the system leaves. So he grinds his way through law school, lands a job at a personal injury firm, and spends two and a half years proving himself until the firm he thinks is insulting. He walks out that same day and opens his own firm. Morgan & Morgan. The genius move when every respectable lawyer in America considered advertising beneath them. John borrows $100,000 and puts his face on TV. The phone starts ringing. He pours every dollar back into the business and expands nationwide. His brother Tim came to work and stayed there for 30 years, right up until he passed away in 2024 at 65. Today Morgan & Morgan employs 1,400 lawyers across all 50 states and brings in over $2.0B in annual revenue.
