True Professional

Russell was extremely knowledgeable of my rights as a victim of crime. He thoroughly represented me throughout the course of multiple hearings and appeals by the defendant. Before, during and after each hearing, Russell clearly explained the details of the proceedings and case status throughout my ...painful ordeal. I have the utmost respect and trust for his professionalism and abilities.

Russell Butler

In addition to providing my family with many hours of legal counsel on our rights as victims, Russell Butler, Executive Director of Maryland Crime Victims' Resource Center was able to overturn Maryland's denial of our Criminal Injuries Compensation in the death of our daughter. Russell also successuf...lly lobbied for changes to existing legislation regarding wrongful death statute of limitiations, specifically regarding the timeline for criminal homicides.

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.
