Thank you

First I would like to say that I made the right choice when I hire Toni Ann as my lawyer. Her professionalism and knowledge was exemplary. She went above and beyond knowing that this was a very emotional and difficult situation for me. She new the longer this would have gone on the harder it would h...ave been for me. Thank you for getting this done in an efficient and timely manner. Also I would like to thank you for your caring heart.

Fantastic Lawyer

I found Ms Russo on an internet search. Best thing I ever did. Not only was is she knowledgeable but really put her heart with my divorce she kept me calm. There’s other choice you can make, for all legal matters. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Got me back with my daughter

I hadn’t seen my baby daughter in over a month when I approached Toni Ann Russo in the courthouse looking for help. I was distraught and didn’t know what to do. Ms. Russo took over the case that day and fought for my rights from day one. Since then she has been at my side, aggressive...ly fighting for my parenting time with my daughter. Shortly after she became involved I started getting visits with my daughter. When I was confused about family court, she explained what was going on. She allowed me to be involved every step of the way, which relieved a lot of anxiety for me. When an emergency hit last summer, she took my call on the weekend to discuss the matter and advise me before court. Since these cases can be expensive, Toni was sensitive to my financial situation and allowed me to take care of parts of the case I could, like ordering transcripts or finding police reports. She has always treated me fairly and reasonably. Family court is an ugly place to be in life, especially for a man. It is daunting and painful like no other place. Toni made it easier to deal with and allowed me to retain hope and dignity in my case. For that I owe her greatly. I don’t plan on using anyone else.

She encouraged me to stand firm for my rights

Going through a divorce can be uncomfortable. Ms. Russo always made me feel comfortable and always gave me excellent advice. She encouraged me to stand firm for my rights.

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.
