Ms. Russell is a godsend!

I would like to write this review as a token of my gratitude to Debra Russell Law, LLC and highly recommend her firm for any legal issues that you might have. I retained Ms. Russell in October 2017 after trying for a very long time to get already court approved contact and visitation with my child...ren. Ms. Russell was extremely supportive from day one and always spoke very honestly of what I could expect. Ms. Russell filed for several emergency custody hearings with the court and always kept me informed about the progress and situation, and what I could expect. I can highly recommend Debra Russell Law for all your legal issues, Ms. Russell and her assistants will work tirelessly to do anything in their power to assist you and ease your concerns.

She strives to please!

When I was searching for an attorney to represent me during my divorce, numerous people recommended Debra Russell. At no time have I ever regretted that decision. Not only did she "take me under her wing" during the entire process, but she also "talked me off a ledge" multiple times. She willingly... took personal time during her family's vacation to confer with me. At the end of the proceedings, I fortunately could say that I was well represented.

Find someone else!

This attorney was a complete waste of time and money! She constantly had personal issues that interfered, never returned emails or phone calls or completed the items she was supposed to do.

Amazing attorney!!!

Debra is an amazing woman. After 7 long yrs of several attorneys not worth my time or money, I was referred to Debra by a friend. I was trying to regain custody of my daughter and with Debras help, we did it. She always maintained contact with me about my case. She was always professional and ethical.... Debra believed in me and I believed in her, sometimes thats all you need. This lady literally performed a miracle in my life and my daughters and we are both forever grateful!

Happy client!

I hired Mrs. Russell to represent me in my divorce and I have been thoroughly pleased with her representation. I never believed that an attorney would be so compassionate and take the time to explain every step of the process to me. I always knew that she cared about me, my children, and how the jud...icial process could affect my family. She balances true class and professional, with a passionate and feisty side that I TRULY RECOMMEND for any client!! She will not disappoint...

Child custody lawyer | Jul 28

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I practice in Florida, but had a good friend in South Carolina who needed help in an ongoing child custody battle. Over 8 years, this individual had used four other attorneys, and the last 3 did not seem to be giving her case or her goals the time and respect they deserved. Some attorneys just walk people through the process, others will get involved and fight, as if their own family was involved . I worked with Debra in explaining the client's situation. She immediately recognized the possible arguments and the challenges in the case. She is willing to advocate for this client, and treat the client as a team member, not just collect checks for walking her blindly through process. I'm impressed, and would enthusiastically refer her again!"
