Russell Warren Dombrow's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. I endorse this lawyer. Why? If all attorneys providing answers on AVVO took the time to completely try and answer a question in detail showing like Mr. Dombrow does, their knowledge, accurate and complete and thorough advice, then AVVO would have the cream of the crop. Look at all his over 1,000 answers to questions and you can see why Russell is entitled to such a great endorsement. Russell does not simply answer: Get an attorney. Rather, he tries to explain the answer and thus why an attorney is needed in fact. Great job and appreciated by a peer in Washington State. I highly recommend this attorney for any bankruptcy-related work"
