Thank You!!!!!

Russell did my divorce and he was great. He was very patient with me when I didn't know how I wanted things resolved. My husband was being a jerk and Russell stayed cool even when I was losing my cool. He always made me feel like eveything was going to be fine. Hire Mr. Nixon. He did a fantastic job ...and I would recommend him to anyone.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
