Toni Ann Russo

I took a chance on her after seeing other reviews.. It was the worst decision I have ever made. I am not just saying this because my outcome produced by her was not my liking. She may ask a little less retainer at first than other lawyers but she does this to suck you in. I had a pretty good case... with much upper hands than my former spouse's, ( all other lawyers that I had consulted before her shared the same opinion about my case being pretty strong) but she screwed up big time for me mainly because of the sketchy way she handled for me. She treated me like another case and did not try to even hide her attitude of milking money from me. Her motto was " it is only money". She did not do her due diligence for me and she never bother to explain things well to me at all and was very push of her opinion being final saying even to her fellow lawyer. She had the worse communication skills to me. She made many unprofessional and inappropriate comments to me especially when she pushed me for appealing after she screwed up the first hearing big time. Her paralegal has done better job communicating and her Junior lawyer seemed to have better knowledge of law than her. After the poor performance mainly due to her lack of preparation for my initial hearing, she quickly handed down my case to her junior lawyer without even asking my permission. Even the Judge complained about her unprofessional way to present the evidence during my court hearing. Her mistake with the judge caused me very important evidence for my case end up not considered. If you do hire her, I recommend that you record everything. Even the mistake she has made that was her obvious fault which can easily be proven with email trace, she never admitted of any wrong doing and lied or bend the truth with her typical bad lawyer B.S. and tried to turn around the blame on me or even on the Judge.

I was paying too much for child support and paying for too long. Toni Ann Russo saw to it that my payments were ended and that I received any payment due to me. She was very professional in the work she did. She followed up to make sure everything was taken care of. I would highly recommend her t...o anyone.

My previous attorney charged me a lot of money, and got no where. I wasn't even permitted visitation without being supervised. As soon as I hired Ms. Russo, the case quickly turned around and my custody was restored to me. The day I got my child back was the happiest day of my life! I would hire her ...again if I ever need a lawyer in the future.
