Adam C. Russell

Adam is dedicated to your case and determined to win. I had a first time OUI case which Adam got dismissed! After a long and enduring process Adam kept me in the loop, promptly responded to emails and remaind transparent throughout the whole process. He took me to the scene of the accusations to properly investigate the incident. He thoroughly took pictures and statements and showed ferocity in the court. I would highly recommend Adam to anyone seeking a criminal defense lawyer. Joseph K.

SUMMARY: I was charged with two felonies and faced possible jail time of over a year. Adam was able to reduce my bail, get me simple probation terms awaiting trial, take my case to trial, and get a NOT GUILTY (on both counts) verdict. Adam is compassionate, extremely knowledgeable, and an absolute warrior in the courtroom. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anybody. If you are looking, stop now and call Adam. DETAIL: I'm not even sure where to start with this review. I had a very complicated case. I was arrested in California on a warrant originating out of Middlesex County, Massachusetts which I wasn't even aware existed. Adam was referred to me by a friend who is a practicing attorney in California who found him through the Trial Lawyer's College. I was held in custody in California until I was eventually extradited to Massachusetts to await my arraignment. Adam worked diligently while I was still in California to begin preparing my case and learn as much as he could before our first in-person meeting. As soon as I arrived in Massachusetts and was processed, Adam came to meet me at the jail late at night and in the middle of a snowstorm. From the start, he put me at ease with his calm demeanor and explained absolutely everything I needed to know (and more) in full detail. Don't let the calmness fool you though because he is an absolute warrior in and outside of the courtroom. He managed to get my bail reduced to a VERY manageable amount AND was able to get me released on bail a day earlier than was expected. I was put on a monitoring bracelet and ordered to remain in Massachusetts. This was devastating for me as I have my life back in California, a job that was waiting for me, my pets, etc. Adam again fought for me right away and was able to quickly get my bracelet cut off AND released back to California awaiting trial. My terms were extremely simple. I just had to make a weekly call to a probation officer and check in with a quick voicemail until I made it to trial. Before I left to California, Adam made sure to spend as much time as was necessary to learn as much as he needed to about the case and gather all possible evidence that would be needed to prove my innocence. Once I returned to California, the prosecution continued to delay my trial, almost to the point of passing the year mark. Adam maintained communication throughout the entire process through phone calls, e-mails, texts. I felt like he truly had my back and wasn't merely just doing his job. By the time the trial came, the best offer given to me was to plead guilty to both felonies and take two years of straight probation with no jail time. Mind you, I've never once been in any trouble and had cooperated fully with everyone up to that point. Adam explained my options in extreme detail. This was a very stressful situation to deal with as anybody could imagine. He kept me as calm as I could possibly be. We decided to go to trial and not take any sort of guilty plea. I arrived in Boston a few days earlier than the trial and prepared at his office. Adam explained every step of what was to come so that I knew exactly what to expect. We went through trial procedures, worst and best case scenarios, previous cases, etc. He made sure I was not going to walk into this feeling any sort of doubt. Trial began. Adam absolutely killed it in court. From his opening statement to the closing, Adam was able to deliver the message with such clarity and poise. He was able to explain and show the jurors the truth through evidence and cross-examination of witnesses. The end result? I was acquitted (NOT GUILTY) on both counts. The jurors took a mere couple of hours to deliberate and came back with the verdict I had been dreaming about for a year and a half. The two words I needed to hear the reclaim the life that was halted still throughout this order. If it wasn't for Adam, I don't know how all of this would have ended up. He truly saved my life.
