One of the Best Attorneys in Pennsylvania

Jerry Russo is one of the most professional, well-spoken, honest, and knowledgeable attorneys I have dealt with. I recently hired him, and from the beginning I felt that he was straightforward with me, explained things clearly, and did not make promises just to tell me what I wanted to hear. He is t...he type of attorney who makes you feel like he understands the seriousness of your case and is willing to actually look at the facts and the law. I have dealt with different attorneys before, and my experience with Mr. Russo has been completely different in a positive way. In my opinion, he is one of the best attorneys in Pennsylvania. If you need someone for a trial, PCRA matter, criminal defense, motions, appeals, or other serious legal work, he is someone I would recommend considering. He is professional, honest, well-spoken, and gives you confidence that your case is being taken seriously. If you are looking for an attorney who will communicate with you and approach your case the right way, Jerry Russo is the guy I would recommend.

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.
