Fantastic Attorney and a Lifesaver

To start, I do not know where to begin with the Robert Rush Firm because they honestly SAVED MY LIFE. I was arrested over a serious offense, so then I immediately started looking for a lawyer. I was stressed out and nervous, so I knew I needed a great lawyer to help me through this difficult situatio...n. Someone recommended to me to check out Robert A Rush Law Firm. I gave them a call for a free consultation on my case and I talked to Mr. Steve Frisco. After I talked to him about the details of the case, that is when I had a feeling that he was the right lawyer for me. During that phone call, he was extremely professional and was super honest about everything he told me. I like how he did not “sugar coat” anything and how he looks for your best interests. Especially when it comes to looking to the future and how a certain result could affect not only your life but also your career. Throughout the call, he explained to me in detail what the process is and what are some possible outcomes for my case. After that call, I hired Steve Frisco and he quickly got to work my case. Steve Frisco has a lot of legal experience and he was very easy to talk to about the case. Throughout the entire length of the case, he was very easy to contact because within even minutes he would respond to you. He was available during the week and even sometimes on the weekends to answer the questions that you may have about the case. He went above and beyond during the time he was my lawyer and that helped lead to the best result possible for my case. I would highly recommend Steve Frisco and this law firm if you need to hire a fantastic attorney that will help you fight your case. I am extremely grateful for the help that Mr. Frisco has given my family and me throughout this entire process.

I immediately called the law office of Robert Rush firm which Mr. Steve Frisco work with, had a phone consultation with Mr. Steve after talking with Mr. Steve I knew we wanted to hire him and he was the one for my so...n‘s case no doubt. Throughout this process from the beginning to the end Mr. Steve made sure we understood and explain every detail the good and the bad that my son may be facing at the end it was all good, we had many questions and concern about the case Mr. Steve was always available by phone or text days nights weekends to answer any questions that we had.

Excellent Attorney and person

I needed a criminal defense attorney for my grown son who had been arrested and put in jail on several drug charges. My son asked me for Mr Frisco. I called the Rush Law Firm whom Steve Frisco works with, he saw me immediately and from the moment he spoke with me and my daughter about my son’s case, ...I felt assured that when I hired him, l had done the right thing. He took the time to explain my son’s case and the different options that would be available to him as well as what he thought he could do to establish the best outcome for his future. He accomplished that and more. He put me completely at ease about any questions I had and let me know he was always available by text or phone even on weekends. I would highly recommend Steve Garrett Frisco to anyone needing an excellent attorney and maybe even a new friend.

Great lawyer, great experience!

I’ve never needed a lawyer for anything in my entire life so I was extremely nervous about my case and intimidated by the whole process. I called around to a few attorneys and I wasn’t given much information or advice because they were all either unavailable or obviously just interested in only getti...ng my money as quickly as possible. The Rush firm was recommended to me by a few people and I was told to specifially ask for Steve Frisco when I called their office. I called and I was almost immediately able to talk to Mr. Frisco about my case after speaking with his assistant, Ryan. From the very beginning Mr. Frisco made me feel much more comfortable about my case because he explained everything, he told me exactly what to expect, and he came up with a plan to get me through everything as easily as possible. I was able to meet with him the very next day and I felt like a huge load was lifted from my shoulders once I met with him. He did exactly what he said he would but never made any false guarantees or promises about anything. He was always accessible by text, email, and by calling his office so I never had to worry or wonder about what was going on. He would also reply to me (sometimes within minutes) when I contacted him even after hours through email or text and that made my husband and I feel great about the attorney I chose and the kind of representation we were getting. Steve got me through my case and even got the entire thing dropped so now I’ve hired him to clear off my record and I couldn’t be happier! I hope I don’t need them but I would definitely hire Mr. Rush and Steve again if I ever need an attorney for anything. If I could Give them more than five stars I would! I give them my highest recommendation!
