About Russell
Biography
Twenty years' experience in the federal judiciary has given me a unique skill set that provides a tremendous advantage to my clients. I was a highly decorated and well-respected presentence investigation officer, team leader, sentencing guidelines specialist, and supervisor of a federal court unit, and I now work for the Scott H. Palmer law firm in Addison, where my focus is on federal criminal defense law.
I have been admitted to practice in all federal districts in Texas, and in addition to the legal services I provide, I also proudly assist other attorneys as a federal sentencing consultant. Call for an appointment!
