This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

he needs to lose his license

WORST LAWYER EVER , HONESTLY IM STARTING TO THINK HES NOT EVEN A REAL LAWYER AND ALL THE GOOD REVIEWS ARE FAKE B.S... I ALSO HAVE REFERRED OTHERS TO HIM BECAUSE IN THE BEGINNING HE SELLS YOU THIS DREAM ONCE HE RECEIVES FIRST PAYMENT. WHAT A SCANDALOUS MAN HE IS. HE HAS AN EXCUSE FOR EVERYTHING HE ON...LY SHOWED UP IN COURT ONCE SMH WHAT A JOKE HE HAS PURPOSELY MISSED EVERY COURT DATE AFTER , NEVER ANSWERS HIS PHONE CALLS OR TEXT AND WHEN HE FINALLY DOES ITS ALWAYS SOME B.S ABOUT SOMEBODY WAS IN THE HOSPITAL OR HES ON VACATION WHEN ARE YOU EVR A LAWYER IF YOUR NEVER COMMUNICATING WITH THE CLIENT OR THE FAMILY. DOESNT EVEN VISIT HIS OWN CLIENT WHILE IN JAIL NOT EVEN VIDEO CALLS OR PHONE CALLS TO HIS CLIENT. HIS CLIENT HAS NOT ONE CLUE TO WHAT IS EVEN GOING ON IN HIS OWN CASE COMPLETLY CLUELESS. COURT DATES IS BEING ADJOURNED WITH NO BAIL BECAUSE JASON NEVER SHOWS AND ITS BEEN MONTHS!!!! THIS IS ABANDONMENT!! I BEG ANYONE THAT SEES THIS NEVER EVER HIRE HIM. YOUR MANY AND FAITH IS COMPLETELY DOWN THE DRAIN WITH THIS GUY.

unproffesianol

this guy who calls him self a lawyer, is only interetsted in your money, once he hs your money he does nothing but lie to you oover,and over with out any result, and convinces you to take a plea bargain which in my case has destroyed my life, with out consulting with a immigration la`wyer made me sig...n a plea agreement which he swore would not any effect on my immigration status which was untrue, and i got a deportation order because of it, if i was not cuban i would had been deported years ago, destroyed my life , i dont know how he can sleep at night.

Best decision I ever made

Jason Russo is an absolute professional, approachable, down to earth lawyer. He handled my complicated and nuanced court case with tenacity. He helped me achieve the best possible outcome I could have hoped for.

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.
