Kurt A. Russell

Upon being charged with fraud, elder abuse and identity theft, I personally interviewed 5 lawyers to represent me. I was facing 10 years in prison. I choose Mr. Russell because of his intelligence, demeanor and his experience. During my meeting with Mr. Russell, he patiently listened to me and ...we reviewed my case. I was very impressed with his insights into my case. IMO, Mr. Russell’s initial assessment of the possible outcomes were reasonable expectations. He did not make any false promises. Because of Mr. Russell and his office’s diligent time and efforts, the charges against me were dismissed. I will be forever grateful to Mr. Russell that I am able to move forward with my life.

Kurt Russell and his team helped me to receive a NOT GUILTY verdict on a second offense DUI charge that in my experience and research is difficult to obtain for most. My first DUI was a result and being young and irresponsible and when I received the second charge it was almost 7 years later under un...fortunate circumstances. All though I was not impaired to drive, I did however have a container of alcohol in my vehicle as a gift for a friend I was traveling to visit which did not help my case when the officer was very accusatory and aggressive from the start. For anyone who has had a prior you know that you now drive with a stigma against your record for the rest of your life operating a vehicle sadly enough but this a consequence we face with encountered with law enforcement. I want to make clear this few important details of history for myself and a detail of the night I was arrested because in all reality the odds where highly against me which became discouraging to say the least. I found comfort with the choice I made of hiring Mr.Russell not only because he did not try to rush through trial nor wanted me to take a plea of any sort just because it was easy for him but took the time to really look into all of the details of the arresting report and everything else involved to state an amazing case. He also stayed in constant contact with me and his assistant/paralegal who kept me informed of any changes or possibilities or even thoughts that were going on on their end. That really helped my anxiety in such an uncertainty type of ordeal such as this. For the record, Mr.Russell was already paid in the entirety owed for his services before we even started trial so for those questioning motives on lawyers if they will continue to do their job to the best of their ability and care for your future even if you have already paid them, HE WILL! I say that with full confidence and I never felt any less important before or after he was fully paid which is something to really consider when putting your future in the hands of someone else. With that being said, the trial lasted a couple days leaving the jury to sit with the little information they already received over the weekend which to be honest was not in my best interest. At this point I had not been able to take the stand and explain all the little details that the state was throwing out to make their case. As I understand it is the states job to do and say whatever may be necessary to make their case, it was not just. They have in my opinion a little more pull and say and will object to anything that you say or try to bring into evidence that will help you ( in this case myself ) prove you are not in fact guilty. With such restrictions I was very apprehensive that the jury would really see the truth and that this was such an out of place incident that is being misunderstood. Mr.Russell prepared me before I took the stand, reassuring me to stay positive and to just be honest and let them see me as human being and not a criminal. Taking the stand was extremely difficult because the state has a very sneaky tactic of trying to get you to say things that could and will incriminate you but I knew this was my only fighting chance to do something on my part. In the end, Mr.Russell made an extraordinary closing argument and the jury came back in less the two hours with a Not Guilty Verdict and I almost fainted! When I say the odds where against me that is an understatement and with hard work and dedication from Mr.Russell and his team and was heard and justice was found. I could not have been happier with the representation, deliverance, professionalism and promptness of everything. I highly highly recommend him and now have a second chance of freedom in life.

I was represented by Mr. Russell on a criminal offence & was very pleased with the outcome of my case. Throughout the entire process I was kept informed as to the progress & possible results to expect. I was extremely pleased with the professionalism & expertise as well as the results Mr. Russell & h...is staff were able to procure for me. I would highly recommend Mr. Russell to anyone seeking legal help & if need be would retain him for any legal matters in the future.

I hired the firm of Platt Hopwood to represent me in a criminal matter. Both Jack Platt and Kurt Russell worked on my case. At all times the attorneys and their staff were courteous and professional. While I had resigned to “take what is coming my way,” Mr. Platt and Mr. Russell told me to relax and ...let them represent me. I am glad I took their advice. Mr. Platt and Mr. Russell were able to win a hearing on an evidence issue and my case was closed, no charges. I would highly recommend Platt Hopwood.
