Marilyn

From the time I consulted with Mr. Russell, he has been totally professional. He has taken time to explain every aspect of my case to me and always has time to answer questions. I never felt like just " another client". He is someone who truly is concerned about his client's future and well-being. H...e is very dedicated to what he does and has made a rough time in my life a little easier.

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.
