Coach Whisperer

Thank you for fighting for good people. The harm that false allegations cause to not only the coaches, but their program, family and ultimately the kids is not right. I hope you continue to be strong and know how much you are appreciated and needed.

Diana, I normally don't comment on reviews but "Coach Whisperer" made me laugh. Thank you! It was a pleasure meeting with you. Best wishes on the upcoming season. ~RP

Great job

Mr. Prince did an outstanding job representing one of my employees with less than 15 hours to prepare. He was thorough in researching the background and exceptionally knowledgeable about key aspects of policies that were being used to erroneously suspend the professional membership of my employee. Fu...rther, he aggressively but professionally challenged the representation of the policies governing the hearing to the panel that would determine the outcome. He was able to find documentation and provide that to the panel which exonerated my employee and successfully secured a legal funding in favor of my employee. I believe Mr. Prince to be a leading expert in the Ted Stevens Act, the American Sports Act and S. R. 534 as well as policies of the U. S. Center for SafeSport. I would heartily recommend him to anyone dealing with dealing with litigation at any level related to these types of issues. Lastly, Mr. Prince went out of his way to keep my employee and myself updated on the process leading to the hearing, the possible outcomes and the timelines for resolution. He did this in a very professional but all so personal manner that helped lesson the anxiety of working through the process

There is nothing Russ can’t handle!

Russ was very thorough and thoughtful with his response to myself and the adverse party. He worked tirelessly to achieve the goals we set forth in our early discussions. I highly recommend Russ whom I’m proud to call my friend!

Professional Appreciation

I recently had a need for an attorney well-versed in USA Gymnastics and the new entity, Safe Sport. My son, a coach, had been wrongfully accused of sexual misconduct. He reached out to me as I have been a private investigator for almost 40 years. Thankfully, we found Mr. Prince who is fast becomin...g a subject expert in this area. He was easy to work with, kept us informed every step of the way and guided us through this until my son was completely exonerated. Mr. Prince’s professionalism and enthusiasm to help his clients was very refreshing. Given my business, that is a high compliment.

USAG and SafeSport

We recently received notice by USAG/SafeSport that our Team Director and Head Coach was suspended due to erroneous allegations. Over the next couple of weeks I had numerous conversations with Mr. Prince via phone conversations, email and text where I received outstanding communication and excellent a...dvice. He was there every step of the way in getting our coaches suspension lifted. As an owner of Dynamo Tulsa Gymnastics in Oklahoma, I along with all the athletes, coaches and parents in our gym can’t thank him enough for helping us through this very bad and scary situation. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome so quickly. Sincerely Justin Dynamo Tulsa Gymnastics
