Miracles still happen!

It has been 23 long years since I have seen and hug my Dad. My case was very technical and seemed impossible. Ms. Antonette used her knowledge of US immigration law to find a legal precedent which had evolved over many years - to skillfully make a long lost dream to become an actual reality for... myself, my family and my friends. Both Ms. Antonette and her wonderful staff were kind, supportive and engaged fully in the process of assisting me in winning my case. I would not be united with my family today if were not for Russell Law Firm. I thank God for bring us together!!!

Top-notch Immigration Attorney who cares

Antonette completed the paper work for my family's immigration to the USA and was an excellent advocate for us. She communicated regularly regarding the status of the case, carefully and thoroughly explained the process as it unfolded. She also also provided extremely valuable information to us to he...lp us navigate the US landscape as it related to many issues upon our arrival.

Miss Russell is amazing!

A friend of mine recommended Antonette to me. That was a blessing! She was not the first lawyer I hired to assist with my complicated case, but she proved to be the most efficient, professional and effective. I received my Green Card yesterday! A previous lawyer had told me that It would be impossibl...e for me to get through. Antonette pulled out all the stops, she was calm, focused, extremely organized, proactive and a great listener and thinker. She is so confident and competent that my anxiety and doubts were soon diminished. She successfully anticipated everything that the official would ask for. I am so grateful to her. I would recommend Miss Russell to anyone who desires to win their case. She DOES NOT lose!

Exeptional service

I was recomended this Lawyer by my sister in law and let me tell you I do not regret hiring her to help me with my DACA. Her personallity is ver profesiinal but also opens her mind/heart to have a great relationship with her clients. She answered all my questions and doubts and txed me the updates on... my papers being processed, which it was great. Her office is one hour away from my house but I do not mind the driving, she gave me a great sarvice so the driving was worth it. I will most definately recomend Ms. Rusell to be your lawyer.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
