Review Russell Marlowe

Rock Star

Posted by

I was stuck in a prolonged divorce with an attorney who had become useless. Mr. Marlow came highly recommended and took over my case with great energy and enthusiasm. He was better than my wife's lawyer, simple as that. What started out with a $500K settlement demand and ended up at $10K and I was on my way, free and clear. He actually listened to what I had to say and was responsive. Mr. Marlow and his staff are professionals and I give my highest recommendation.

Russell Is An Excellent Choice for Complicated Divorce Matters- Professional, Ethical and Thorough

Posted by

I hired Russell to represent me in a divorce after being referred to him from a friend. Russell was the consummate professional from the onset with every aspect of my case. My divorce was very complicated due to the length of the marriage and having three children. Russell was there at every step, navigating through the challenges of this type of divorce. He was very accessible and prompt in returning calls. Most notable and admirable is the fact that he is a true gentleman, always representing himself and his client with professionalism, ethics, and integrity. He never wavered from his high standards of conduct in or out of the court room. Divorces are hard for everyone involved, but Russell helped to bring a very difficult situation to best conclusion possible.

Truely a knowledgeable office!

Posted by

Mr. Marlowe and his paralegals are the most punctual and precise group of attorneys I have ever worked with! We had all of the paperwork and filings done before my ex had even sent over the paperwork (They even filed before I did!) I highly recommend his office if your looking for an outstanding attorney with hard working paralegals!

Excellent Attorney /Law Firm

Posted by

When I contacted the firm I spoke with Russ's paralegal Jill who put me in contact with Russ right away. I explained my situation to him and he let me know that he had experience with my particular situation. I hired him to handle my case and they did an excellent job of keeping me abreast of what was going on with my case and the next steps as well as the expected time frame. They were professional, personable and easy to talk with and listened to my concerns and always got back with me in a timely fashion. This is an AMAZING attorney and team. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a team that will get behind them and become their advocate.

Highly recommend

Posted by

Needing a divorce attorney, I was referred to Russell Marlowe by my estate lawyer whom I held in high regard. I found Russ to be personable , professional and knowledgeable as he explained the many issues I was facing. He answered all my questions completely as he guided me through what could have been a much more complicated and stressful situation. It's important to mention that Russ has a very capable and competent paralegal who showed infinite patience with my questions, many of which I'm sure were redundant. If you are in need of a divorce attorney (in the New Port Richey, Florida area), I definitely recommend Russell Marlowe.

Not your typical lawyer

Posted by

My ex husband and I wanted a lawyer to process a non contested dissolution of marriage. We had already decided on assets. Russ and Jill were very easy to work with. I consulted other lawyers and they either wanted me to sue my ex husband, or just didn't return calls for weeks. I highly recommend Russ and Jill.

TWO - Adoption and Prenumptual Agreement

Russell Marlowe and his entire team were the best I've ever encountered. They were right on top of things all the way guiding us through both processes. Very professional, experienced, and kind team down there. One of the team actually officiated the wedding of my wife and I. Can't ask for better people.

Admirable honest firm

Posted by

Russ and his firm helped me through an HOA litigation. He is fair, honest, and respectable. Although my case has not ended, I am confident that he is doing everything in his power to help us. He has always been extremely responsive, he provides facts, and he is resourceful. He is a great person and wonderful lawyer. Anyone who works with him will certainly get their money’s worth.

Recommend Russell Marlowe

Posted by

Russell and Jill were the best and I would recommend them to anyone looking for help during a divorce. They were professional and knowledgeable and willing to listen to my wishes. After half a year of attempting to settle a divorce without legal council, I made the decision to hire Russell. Once I had Russell in my corner the process started, moved forward, and concluded in a timely manner. I never felt like just another client. I would recommend them to anyone. I have to thank Russell and Jill for their support during my case. Always a friend. Randal

I know my opinion of Russ is shared by many colleagues as well as the judiciary. And let's not forget that he is a great Florida Gator.
