Adoption Case

Russell is an excellent lawyer. He was upfront and honest with my from the beginning about my case. He assisted me in adopting my nephew, all while I was living in Hawaii. We hired Russ based off a recommendation. Our case special and slightly complex because of the fact that we are active military s...tationed in Hawaii. We required a Florida lawyer because that's where the guardianship paperwork originated (my parents were the guardian of my nephew). Russ stepped up to the challenge and helped us cut through the red tape and make this adoption happen in a timely manner. He was knowledgeable and answered all my questions and promptly responded to all my emails. His pricing was fair and even gave us a military discount. I couldn't be more happy with my legal representation.

Unshakeable

Russ was on point from the very beginning. I hired him to help me with my divorce after firing my previous attorney. He was able to determine what needed to be done and executed flawlessly. My divorce was dragged out for over a year. Russ always guided me in the direction of the least expensive yet m...ost cost effective actions to take. I recommend Russ. Jill is the hero behind the scenes. She was spot on with all the paperwork. She never let me forget what I needed to get done or if I was missing an item she would let me know right away. They are a great team.

Posted by anonymous | November 17, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Uncontested Divorce

Best Lawyer in Pasco County

When I began my search for a lawyer in Pasco County to handle my uncontested divorce, I was a little nervous, due to stories I had heard from friends about their negative experiences with a lawyer. After speaking with Russell Marlowe and his paralegal on staff, Jill Macaluso, I felt immediate ease. T...hey were both very knowledgeable about the necessary steps in the process and helped with prompt, comprehensible advice when obstacles arose along the way. He listened to my requests and executed my wishes. Every little question I had was explained in a thorough, prompt way without judgment, whether it be from Mr. Marlowe or Ms. Macaluso. They were able to close the case within a short frame of time. I feel very fortunate to have had their assistance over the last few months. I highly recommend their service to anyone seeking legal counsel.

Unlawful detainer action

In February 2020 my mother-in-law passed away and her home was awarded in probate to her three children. After her death, several of her husband’s family members had moved into the property and refused to leave. We worked with them for several week to depart the residence to no avail. That is when ...we spoke to Russ Marlowe about our issue with the property, and he advised us that we would have the file an unlawful detainer action to get them out of the property. Russ quoted us his fee to proceed with the action and we approved it. Russ and his para Jill where great keeping us informed and answering our questions as the case proceeded. I have had dealings with a couple of attorneys this year, one for the probate and one for the unlawful detainer and wow what a difference. The probate attorney was not one I will go back to, never telling us the total fee for his services, which cost more than expected and hard to talk to and sometime rude. Russ and his para Jill on the other hand are always there. If you have questions Jill will do her best to answer them if she can or ask Russ for an answer and get back with you. She will get Russ on the line if necessary, for you to speak to him, both are great people. Fee was as quoted with no hidden surprises. A few things to know, this is the legal system and things take time, you are as they say “At the mercy of the court” and all out of the hands of Russ and Jill it’s just the way the system works. So, if you have an issue that Mr. Marlowe can help you with, Pull the trigger and let them help you.

Would Use Again If Needed

Mr. Marlowe and his paralegal Jill were great. My questions were always answered in a way it was easy to understand and the process was a lot easier to go through with him on my side. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great lawyer who really listens and understands whats going on. ...
