HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS LAWYER

I had a rather complicated case to present and I found Mr. Russo to be very responsive and knowledgeable. He helped me through the details and was quick to offer detailed responses to my multitude of questions. We may not be able to find the resolution we wanted but he gave it every effort he possibl...y could under the circumstances. We could only go as far as a demand letter but the points in this case were complicated and his charges were more than reasonable. I am still hoping to pursue the issue and I know Mr. Russo will be there to ensure that I proceed in the right direction. I would say that , in issues of litigation and funds recovery ( which was my issue), anyone would find Mr. Russo to be an honorable lawyer and would not be disappointed in his wide range of abilities and his dedication to truly assisting his clients.
