About Elena Morgan

I am a dedicated and accomplished advocate with a strong track record in criminal defense and appeals. My career began in Chicago, where I honed my skills at the Cook County Public Defender's Office and the Illinois Office of the State Appellate Defender. In 2020, I joined the prominent California Criminal Defense firm, Maas & Russo, where I took on a wide range of cases, including misdemeanors, felonies, and post-conviction litigation. I navigate complex legal matters while providing clients with empathetic advocacy, guiding clients through every stage of their case from trial to post-conviction relief. As of January 2026, I will be moving back to Chicago, but I will be available to take on privately retained clients with California criminal cases.
