Posted by Howard | August 07, 2013 | Personal Injury

A passionate, smart, hardworking trial lawyer

When it comes to representing a client in a court case, Mr. Russo is truly one of the most creative hardworking, and passionate lawyers I know. Cases which do not appear to many lawyers to have merit have frequently been reviewed by Mr Russo and handled to successful conclusion. He has represented p...eople from all walks of life- celebrities,professionals, and ordinary people like you and me. He has great expertise in personal injury, including tractor trailer, auto , products liability , medical malpractice, and slip and fall cases. He has a team of paralegals and support staff that support his efforts. He keeps you informed and is easy to talk to.

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.
