The best of the best

Mike Russ has been a really good help throughout my whole civil case. He never let me down and did everything he said he was going to do to get me and my family the best outcome. I truly appreciate him, he not only makes you feel like a client but he also makes sure your respected and cared about lik...e your his own family. Definitely made sure I was satisfied and that everything worked out in my favor and best interest for my loved ones. Thanks so much for everything, If you need him for anything civil he definitely is the way to go!!!!!!

Russ Firm helped me navigate through a business matter

Mike Russ helped me navigate through a series of business issues I was having with a business partnership. I needed help figuring out how to reverse out of a contract due to false information given to me before executing the contract. He helped me get out of it without any stress. He was very knowled...geable with next steps, gathering facts, and reassuring me of the outcome. I can't thank Mike enough for his help. He really got me out of a rough patch.

Client

Mike is not an ordinary attorney. He saved my life when the system tried to take advantage of me. Not only is he a great attorney, he is a great person with a passionate work ethic that has surpassed any lawyer that has fought for me. I put my life in his hands and he continues to help me evolve as a... man even tho my case is done. He is my role model and we are the same age. This is not just a lawyer but a man who will care about you as more than a client.

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.
