Amazing

Miss Russeck is by far the best attorney I have ever worked with, her attention to detail and devotion to my case far exceeded my expectations. Miss Russeck walked me through all aspects of my case and made me feel very informed and comfortable. She won my case with spectacular fashion and I will wit...h out a doubt recommend and or hire her again.

PISSED OFF CLIENT

First of all she let me sit in jail for five days when i told her i was not gonna make it to one of my court dates.For my D.U.I and i have a CDL license and i made that clear to her so she enrolls me in a program that does not help CDL drivers so either she didnt know that or she screwed me over.And ...I spoke to a different attorney and he told me she clearly overcharged me for a service that did not benefit me.And when i ask about it what was wrong she even tried lying to me,and she told me she did not know that i had a CDL when its clearly all over my paper work.I feel as though she got over on me because she thought i was an incompetent younger kid.

WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS TOBI RUSSECK'S EXCELLENCE!

@ the moment, I should be sitting in a jail cell. I was convicted for dealing a significant quanity of narcotics & was sentenced to serve House Arrest. In addition to this I was already on probation for a similar charge. While on house arrest I violated the strict guidelines & sanctions. Out of fear ...of being put in prison I dodged both my probation officer & the courts. I knew I had to hire an attorney & decided to go with this young pretty Lawyer Ive seen in the court room by the name of Tobi Russeck. Honestly I was unsure how things would go & knew I was in some trouble. After my 1st time speaking with Ms. Russeck I knew I was in good hands & made the right desicion. Through the process of waiting on my hearing, Tobi kept close contact w/ me & she was there to consult with each & everytime I reached out to her. Today we went to court & I was sure I was headed to jail- it wasnt a matter of if, just a matter of how long. Due to the care, hard work, & dilligence of Ms. Russeck that didnt happened! In fact Tobi was somehow able to convince the judge to release me on the spot & vacate my original house arrest sentence. Not only did I avoid the jailtime which appeared to be inevitable, I left court in less trouble all due to Tobi's representation. For such wonderful private counsel, she is very affordable & wort every penny. Tobi Russeck is the definition of a hard working lawyer who truly cares about her clients. You cant go wrong retaining her as your defense counsel! Calling Tobi was 1 of the best choices I ever made & I strongly reccomend you do the same if your in need of an attorney who will look out for your best interest. On top of everything Tobi is also beautiful which doesnt hurt! Collectively, all these aspects equate to Tobi Russeck being the best lawyer Ive ever worked with... Take my word for it & Hire this woman.

Tobi Russeck....

I was just represented by Tobi on Tuesday. This was my 3rd court date and everything that was promised to me was done.. Ms. Russeck got me released from cfcf while pending a open case on special probation. I was just about the only one on the block to be released and it was solely due to my legal rep...resentation. She is smart , intelligent and knows what she's doing.. she knew more about my case then I did and in about 3minutes I was convinced she would be my lawyer. Her name rings bells n she's a very young woman for such a reputable lawyer. I basically got off Scott free and I'm not the type to have luck so I need a lawyer like Tobi.

Honest, Sharp, and just simply a DAMN GOOD LAWYER

Tobi was hired to handle a very messy case for a family member that consisted of multiple DUI's, Possession, and 2 Failure to Appear charges. Unfortunately we had originally hired one of Philadelphia's so called "Best" Attorney's to defend her and ended up with an even bigger mess and over 10K down t...he drain. Tobi was called in as a last ditch effort to save my cousin from going to jail due to the FTA's after her prior attorney somehow forgot to tell her about a change in her sentencing date. How I wish we would have gone with her from the beginning, it would have saved us a few sleepless nights, and hours of time in phone calls that never were returned with our other Attorney. Tobi wrapped up in one week what it took over a year for the other guy to do. Not only did my cousin NOT go to jail, but Tobi also got her sentencing scheduled for the following week! She will cut to the chase, give you a direct and honest evaluation of your case which is SO refreshing! So many Attorney's I have met give you unrealistic expectations to prospective client's in order to obtain business which in my opinion, is such a disservice to clients. I am impressed by her knowledge, attention to detail, and caring attitude towards people and their legal issues. I would trust Tobi with any legal issue that comes up!
