If an attorn\nEy asks you to pay him in cash , don't do it

My state certified general contracting company was accused falsely by a client and falsely accused by a detective in Melbourne by the name of Harry Bermudez detective, I hired this attorney, the minute. I was arrested and he said he could put this to bed because it was not true. He knew the prosecut...ing attorney all he had to do was make a phone call and he insisted on being paid $5000 in cash with a $1000 retainer, and the next day when I called him and asked him, is it all over? Is it done? Did you get ahold of the person? He said? Oh no I couldn't get ahold of them. So now you've been arrested and you have to go through the court system. I told him that's not what we agreed upon. I want my money back. He wouldn't my full amount back. He said it cost him $500 to do nothing. This gentleman and his firm are useless. I'm learning that about a lot of Melbourne attorneys they're just con artists, and they hour you to death. This individual also when I met with him was not right mind. I'm not sure what his issue was, but he was very sketchy. I would not advise anybody to talk to this man or to this firm , not unless they wanna be lied to and ripped off

First Choice in legal representation

If you’re experiencing a very difficult time in your life and you need the best representation available. You won’t find anyone better to represent you than Kurt Russell. He’s compassionate and understanding. He will always go to extra mile. His knowledge of the law and courtroom manner is artful. He... is well respected by the court and the state. I can’t say enough Kurt and the entire firm. I’ll be forever grateful.

Highly recommend

Kurt Russell provided exceptional legal representation throughout our entire case, demonstrating a deep understanding of the law and ensuring we had the best possible outcome. Kurt and his legal assistant, Amanda, communicated clearly, consistently, and responsively to our concerns. Our case was very... stressful, and they made the situation manageable. On top of this, he is kind and caring. I highly recommend Kurt Russell, he will fight for you. He is your go-to if you are seeking skilled and compassionate legal counsel.

Lifesaver

I've been in many situations where I needed a lawyer and no one would be straightforward with me. kurt is the only one I can trust to go to for leagal advice. I've recommended him time and time again to my friends and he is always there to get you the answers your looking for while still offering you... options if things dont go your way. His team is always available and even on holidays they have responded to me within 24 hours even though thier system Said they were closed. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my future.
