Allison Spencer Russell

I would highly recommend Allison Russell. I have been working with her for about a year now. She helped get custody of my daughter back. The case was not easy, there were a lot of obstacles but she was on top of it & it worked out in my favor. Leaving trial on the first day, there was nothing that I ...wished she would have said that she didn’t say. She didn’t miss a beat. She was compassionate but also didn’t hesitate to keep it straight forward. I will definitely be using her for any future situations that may come up.

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.
