Better Than Expected

The Law Firm of Russell Depersia, LLC was recommended to me by a good friend and it has served to be the best recommendation I have ever had. I was expecting the worst outcome and actually got the best outcome. Mr. Depersia and his staff were always courteous and professional. They always responde...d to my inquiries promptly and I never had to wonder what was going on with my case as they always kept me up to date with new developments. Mr. Depersia was always up front with me even though he sometimes underestimated his own abilities. From my side of things, he seems very connected to the legal system and the individuals in it. You would expect someone of his stature to be arrogant but he is a very humble and kind man, not to mention easy on the eyes. I am still amazed at what he was to accomplish in my case. I would highly recommend his services. Hopefully, I will never need his services again but he would be my first choice if I ever needed legal assistance.

Law Firm of Russell Anthony DePersia

I'm so happy to have had the opportunity to work with Russell DePersia. Mr. Russell literally knows everyone in the courtroom and how they operate. Whenever working on a case, it's vital to know the pros, the cons, the influencers, and obviously all facts of the case! Mr. Russell brought all of that ...to the table and then some! It's great to have a lawyer to contact when you don't understand legal terms, someone that's prompt with response, and obviously representing you when you cannot represent yourself. I love that Mr. Russell actually cares for his clients and is trustworthy. No matter how intense the situation is, he will remain professional, keep a calm demeanor, tell it like it is, and always look for the best outcome while staying in touch with reality. Due to my phenomenal experience while handling legal matters, the Law Firm of Russell Anthony DePersia will always be my first choice! No matter what I say, the work speaks for itself.

Great lawyer

He was my lawyer. He does a great job explains every move he will make and why and what will be good for you. Doesn’t make it seem like your just a regular old client. Once we won the case he gave me a big hug lol. I will recommend him to anyone everyone. Honestly just a great guy and if you have him... as your lawyer your very lucky

Attorney that cares

Mr DePersia accepted me as a client the day before a scheduled court hearing. He met with me studied up on the law and was prepared the next day.

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.
