Disappointed!!

I hired this to take care of a situation for my husband lawyer because he was referred to me by someone who I trusted and they said they had a good experience. This lawyer didn't keep in contact with me and the only phone calls I received were about payment when asked about the case I was told I'm do...ing all I can do. I ended up hiring another lawyer and we discovered that he had not filed any motions on my husbands behave nor had done any work to help him. He stand in court and doesn't say anything but instead lets the state boss him around. If you hire him you will be wasting your hard earned money.

Lost money and time

He was quick to take my money and return my phone calls when i hired him to take my ticket to court. Did not hear from him once payment was sent to him. I got zero results for the money i gave him. I probably would have been better off to have gone to court myself dressed in a clown suit. After the c...ourt date, i did not receive a phone call or email, or any type of notification on what had taken place. I did however get a letter in the mail that was sent to the wrong address. After the fact, he refused to return my phone calls, which i had called about once a day. After 2 1/2 weeks i finally got a return phone call from him to say, "sorry, you need to hire someone else", i guess thats what i get for my moneys worth.

Reliable and Trustworthy

Russell is an excellent attorney who places an emphasis on great communication and attention to detail. He helped me with a traffic court case. What was even more helpful was this was done while I was out of my home state away for work. I highly recommend him to anyone.

Great Choice for an attorney

It was such a blessing to find this attorney when my 18 year old son was arrested for disorderly intoxication and criminal mischief. It was the scariest time if my life. He was able to get my son in a PTI program and now all charges have been dropped. It was refreshing having someone that would resp...ond at all hours by text, phone or email. I was very pleased with Mr McCormick.

Finally a honest lawyer

Recently wa involved in legal trouble for the first time in my life. I was very uneducated and worried for my future. I contacted rusty McCormick and he walked me through the whole process. Rusty was very knowledgable and honest. His attitude towards me was very welcoming! I felt as if he took my cas...e personal. Rusty is not one of those " pay me first" " ask questions later" type of lawyers. His phone is always on and he always responds! I would highly recommend him no matter the magnitude of the case! I have full confidence in rusty and would use him in the future if need be ! Rusty thank you for keeping a clear line of communication and being very fair and honest!
