Allison Spencer Russell

Allison was recommended to me by a friend who was going through a divorce, and it’s the best recommendation that I’ve taken. She walked me through our initial call with care and attentiveness that I needed given my state of mind early on in the divorce process. She was kind but also direct and didn’t... sugar coat or obscure any difficult facts. She gave me a sturdy foundation during a time that was, before I called her, complete chaos. Now we are preparing for a case and I’m very happy with Allison’s work and guidance. I would recommend her hands down for family law.

Where do I began. 1. Doesn't communicate effectively responds days or weeks later if all. 2. Prefers not to provide cellphone but emails clients and charges 30.00 per email. 3. Not on top of filing paper. 4. Is not transparent in billing clients. She basically stole 1600 dollars of my money and did ...nothing for my case. I was better off continuing my case pro se. Blamed me for mistakes in my case as oppose to "providing adequate council" Stated I hurt my own case, however instead of dropping my case, if she had reservations, she continued to bill me for service. Unbeknownst to me until I had to ask for my monthly invoice. Stated she would adjust charges since our contract makes no mention of communication charges however only made minor adjustments, and kept most of my retainer, after I fired her. And I work hard for my money. After being fired she kept my originals and I had to ask for them back. Just horrible man.

Allison was very responsive and took the time to listen to my concerns. Her evaluations and proposals were always well thought out and helped me through my situation. I felt she really cared about what happened to my children and always put their best interests first. She has an ability to keep a ...level head and keep the conversations and reactions on point and on track.

Allison Russell is an incredibly talented family law attorney. She has the ability to quickly determine the issues in a case and knows exactly what to do to get the outcome you want. She knows the law inside and out! It was amazing to watch her in court. She made me feel like I didn’t have to worry a...bout my case at all because she had this! Allison is also great at keeping in contact. I always knew what was going on with my case and she was excellent at returning my phone calls and emails. I know that the only reason I received such a great judgement was because Allison was on my side! Please do yourself a favor and hire Allison Russell - she is the best!!
