An excellent attorney and an even better human being

My 2 partners and I utilized Russell in a very complex matter that was in Federal court as well as two different state courts. When all other professionals failed before him (4 law firms), he was able to reach a resolution for a difficult economic and personal matter that had dragged on for years. H...e is a rare breed of lawyer who makes you feel like he is in the trenches beside you fighting as if he himself was one of the litigants. He will get the job done for you no matter what and do so looking out for your best interests.

Litigation lawyer | Feb 15

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Russ is smart, energetic, strategic, skilled, and a profoundly decent guy on top of all that. He's got an excellent team, and is particularly well positioned to handle cases in the Westchester courthouse of the SDNY. We've worked together on multiple cases, and will again. It's always a pleasure for me, and a benefit to the client, to have Russ on the team."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Russell is an exceptional litigator with a proven track record. He is both a skilled negotiator and a savvy trial lawyer, which means he has all the tools necessary to effectively advocate and resolve client issues. Russell has assembled and leads what I consider to be one of Westchester County's premier litigation firms."

Litigation lawyer | Nov 03

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse Russell who is at the top of his game as a civil litigator. I have worked with him on numerous matters and cases over the last 4+ years where my firm's expertise is useful as co-counsel to his firm. A very fair person to deal will professionally but never assume his friendly demeanor makes him a pushover as he is as a tenacious and tireless advocate for his clients as they come."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
