Invaluable, accessible, and integrity!

After being denied by disability twice I hired Colleen Russo for her expert help to navigate through the bureaucracy. Attorney Russo's confidence and professionalism immediately put me at ease. She was accessible for every call, she was empathetic to my situation, and her professional integrity was t...ops from the beginning to all the way through the hearing. Colleen Russo is an excellent example of how all attorneys should act. Thank you.

Remember this name but only if you want a Phenomenal Lawyer

I had filed a Disability Case, that had been "Denied" twice and the third appeal was a hearing in front of a Judge, I obtained Colleen Russo, Attorney At Law’s services for the “hearing” appeal. She made me feel at home, like family, right away, she looked after me, was very kind and nurturing, yet s...he let me know what she expected from me and was stern, when I needed it, like a second mother. Being so efficient, she explained the whole “hearing” appeal process, the time frame involved and her expectations of me. Colleen is a Resourceful Professional, after learning of my disabilities, both mental and physical, she helped me through them by explaining things so I could understand them or tells me what was important enough to write down or try to remember. Colleen is a gifted Intellectual and is so organized, prepared and well-thought-out, she always kept in contact with me through out the whole year to year and a half before the hearing appeal and represented me at the hearing. In my opinion Colleen, went above and beyond her duties in helping me win my Disability Case.

Colleen represented me in a serious automobile accident where I was rearended by a drunk driver. Colleen was professional and always kept me informed. She always went above and beyond what was expected. She was extremely knowledge in dealing with the insurance companies and doctors. I feel Collee...n always had my best interest in mind. I completely trust Colleen with my case and would recommended her to my family and friends.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have routinely recommended Colleen Russo to my clients who have suffered injuries because of the negligence of another. She has likewise assisted my friends and family members with the utmost professionalism. Colleen has always been prompt and thorough in answering questions that developed after each accident. My referrals were appreciative to learn what immediate steps needed to be taken so that they could focus on their immediate medical needs. As a fellow lawyer practicing in the area of Intellectual Property Law, I am always looking for the best lawyer to refer cases in areas of the law that I do not handle. Colleen Russo is at the top of my list for personal injury/accident attorneys."
