Concerned, Considerate and Responsive lawyer

I would like to thank my lawyer Tobi Russeck for always being there to answer all my questions, always keeping me informed, and returning my calls whenever I leave her a message she has been most helpful and considerate through this whole ordeal. I would highly recomend her to anyone in need of a la...wyer.

SHE IS ALL ABOUT MONEY

Tobi was appointed by the court to my husband. When we first spoke she sounded amazing! But actions speak way louder than words. She did not contact my husband for 5 months. She did not go to his court date or see him at all. When I asked what was going on she text me to say that I am not paying her ...that she is only appointed! So she feels she does not have to do anything. Every person deserves to be treated equal and represented fairly. Tobi may be good for some but that's only if you can afford to pay her and she is not appointed to your case. If she is appointed my advice is to ask for another lawyer asap! Tobi don't take cases that are appointed by the city. You are not doing charity unless you treat them fair!

Excellent Lawyer

Tobi was just the blessing that my family needed. She was referred to us and from the very beginning she was phenomenal. Every step of the way Tobi kept us informed so that we knew what was happening and why. Her knowledge, experience, and application of both is exceptional. I recommend her for anyon...e who is in need of legal advice and representation.

Tobi "Thunder" Russeck...she brings the "thunder" in the court room.

Tobi came into our case one week prior to the trial and at first we were skeptical because she looked really young. But she totally proved us wrong. Our case was a very serious one. She was professional, always kept us informed of what was happening with the case, answered all our questions and very ...knowledgeable. She gave it to us straight and told us to prepare for the worst and pray for the best. But she kept her word and did her absolute best to help us. We were facing a very, very long sentence. But she totally delivered and we were home free! Thanks Tobi for all your help! She really does bring the thunder! We are going to recommend her services to whoever we know that may be needing representation.

A must have lawyer!!!

There's not enough I could say about this lawyer! She is absolutely amazing. She gives her clients her cell phone number so that they can reach her at all times. Tobi has very quick response times, there has never been a case where I texted her and didn't an immediate response. She explains everythin...g clearly, and works effortlessly to make sure that her clients is given a fair chance. She is young with the attitude of a veteran!!! This was the 2nd lawyer I hired for this case and my fiancé was home within a month of hiring her! She is the woman for the job!!!!

"Ms. Russeck is one of the most talented attorneys in Philadelphia. She has won jury trials for clients in cases where conviction seems all but certain due to signed confessions and other awful evidence. I highly recommend Ms. Russeck."
