More than a lawyer!

I have had representation from Russ in 2 cases recently regarding employment contracts. My experience with Russ is that he listens with profound openness, advises from a place of competence, compassion, and extensive depth of knowledge, and then allows the client to make her own decisions. After sh...aring with Russ my wishes, and the context for my path forward, he has been incredibly supportive, staying committed to what I am committed to - not just the "what" but the "how". Classy, professional, diligent, full of integrity he inspires trust and confidence. His heart and head are completely committed. I highly recommend Russ. He has become such a blessing in my life.

I Highly Recommend Russell Conn

I was very lucky to be represented by Russell in an employment-related case this past year. In a highly stressful matter, Russell was not only completely thorough, competent, and professional in his representation of me, but he was also incredibly personable and compassionate during what he knew was ...a very difficult time for me. Even though my case happened at one of the busiest times in Russell's year, he seemed to be personally invested in the outcome of my case, and made me feel like I was his only client. He is incredibly responsive, and is both thorough and thoughtful in all of his correspondence. His expertise and his honest approach with me and the case put me instantly at ease. I highly recommend Russell Conn, and will continue to depend on his legal guidance moving forward.

I would recommend Russell Conn enthusiastically and without hesitation

I have had the pleasure of working with Russell Conn since 2004. Russell and his firm have provided counsel to me both professionally and personally. I have relied on his expertise in employment law to support my search firm, Tomer Search Group, Inc. since it's inception in 2004. His firm was inst...rumental in the negotiation and creation of a complicated partnership agreement. His firm has also represented my family interests as well. In every instance, Russell and his firm have demonstrated their incredible talent and have represented me to my complete satisfaction. On a personal level, Russ is pleasant, accommodating and calm under pressure. He is responsive and available 24/7. He is easy to engage and takes the time to understand not only the legal issues but the personal nuances as well. Russell has won my respect, my business and most importantly, my trust.

Excellent attorney for your legal needs

Attorney Russ Conn is not only an excellent attorney but highly responsible and responsive to you. He is a straight shooter who informs you of your risks and rewards in litigation and honestly evaluates if you should pursue a case or not. I have used Mr. Conn in several trials and he has been success...ful in both cases, even one which the likely outcome was in doubt. His courtroom performance was masterful and played out like a Perry Mason courtroom drama!

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have known Russ Conn for almost thirty years. We have been opposing counsel in two complex construction cases, and I have had the opportunity to observe Russ in other professional settings. Quite simply, Russ is one of the finest lawyers I know, and I have great respect for him. He is an exceptionally intelligent, skilled, diligent, and personable lawyer; his work reflects a combination of substantive knowledge, effective strategy, sound judgment, and common sense. Russ’s character and ethics are beyond reproach. In addition to being an excellent lawyer, Russ is as good a person as you could hope to find. If I were in need of legal counsel, Russ would be my first choice, and I recommend him without reservation."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
