Hired Russell for estate planning, excellent attorney

Russell Sweeting is a remarkably proficient and effective attorney. His vast experience, particularly in the areas of labor and employment, estate planning, criminal and contract matters, enables him to narrow and filter a client’s matter towards resolution efficiently and with the finest of resu...lts. Russell is well known among his colleagues to be on trial, successfully taking an employment discrimination jury verdict by day, and then, meeting estate planning clients that same evening. With his encyclopedic knowledge of the law and pragmatic approach to his client’s disputes, Russell always has the highest confidence of those who seek his counsel and those who work with him. Russell offers a superlative trust in representation of the firm’s clientele. You cannot ask for a better, more informed, or more devoted lawyer than Russell Sweeting.

Russell was extremely helpful and responsive

I hired Russell to execute will documents, which can be a very confusing and overwhelming process. He was extremely well organized and responsive to my questions and phone calls. The entire process went smoothly and quickly, and I was entirely satisfied with my experience. Russell was very profess...ional and receptive to my concerns.

Great communication

Russell handled the administration of my Mother's estate. It was an extremely difficult time for me and my family but Russell really helped to make the process go as smooth as possible. As you may expect, I had a lot of questions about the process, her will, and a bunch of other things. Russell alway...s got back to my emails and calls the same day. That is not something you find with all lawyers.

  • 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.
