Highly Recommend

Hired Mr. Russo to review a franchise agreement I was purchasing. Although I had read the contract multiple times, Joe brought up several issues I would never have thought of/considered. Offered great advice, insight, and recommendations during the process as he can offer the perspective from both ...the franchisor and franchisee point of view. I will definitely be using him if I have any small business issues. Thanks again Joe.

Great Experience and Service

I am a Tampa business broker and Joe recently served as the Closing Attorney for one of my most recent deals. Joe's wealth of experience and calm demeanor made what could have been a very stressful experience for all of the parties involved, a very smooth process. I would highly recommend Joe to an...yone in need of legal services.

Look no further

I was so glad I met Joe through the Small Business Development Center. He reviewed my non-compete, gave sound advice (which I took), and had my business up and running in no time. He's easy to understand, easy to reach, amicable, and a no-hassle-type of guy. Thanks Joe!

Great Attorney! Very knowledgeable and proactive.

Joe is not only very knowledgeable, but he takes the time to explain concepts clearly. He has helped me with many different contracts and business agreements. He has guided many other people that I know in real estate law and business law. They have ALL been happy with Joe! He has a great monthly... program for small businesses as well that is very affordable and gives you access to him. With that he becomes more like a business advisor than an attorney, and he is very on top of solutions when you call. I also recommend him for that program if you own a small business. Just ask him about that too. He is a very important part of my small business team, and I rely on Joe often. Put your trust in Joe Russo and rest easy. He will really keep you stay out of trouble and make sure your business is protected. He'll save you time also, which saves you money! He calls and emails you back quickly. I refer him to friends often!

Great Experience and Ongoing Relationship

I've been working with Joe for about a year now. He's extremely knowledgeable about contracts and has helped us write and review several contracts. He's a very nice guy and I trust his work. There have been a few instances that he didn't know an answer but that wasn't an issue as he has a vast networ...k of people he can reach out to for specific items. If you're looking for contract work, I strongly recommend Joe.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Joe & I represented opposing parties in a very large M&A deal bogged down by the COVID-19 crisis. We weathered deal changes that might have tripped up lesser M&A attorneys or less-determined clients. Throughout, he was professional, cordial, and thorough. I endorse Joe enthusiastically for his merger and acquisition practice area."
