Review Ross Russell

Very Caring

Posted by

Ross is a very caring and compassionate attorney. Aside from his practical expertise, he is an out of the box thinker who will come up with great solutions others have not seen. I should know, I went through 3 attorneys before finding him.

Ross spent a half hour over lunch talking with me over a civil case where a contractor ran off with my money. He was knowledgeable, helpful and gave us very valuable advice and suggestions on how to proceed.

I wish he was my full-time attorney

I wish he was my full-time attorney. This man is truly amazing when you are at the lowest of the low and everybody is taking from you from your business your family he is the man .he actually answers the phone he knows who you are he knows everything about your case without even looking at a folder he responds faster than any attorney I know of. I have nothing to say negative about Mr. Russell the only thing he needs to do is to be licensed in every state for me .my business and my family appreciate him more than he will ever know. He is reasonable and looks after his clients.

Ross called me in the allotted time period and spent quite a bit of extra time answering my questions. I did not feel hurried or that I was being an annoyance by running a bit over time. Ross obviously has some expert knowledge in the area I need help and I was relieved with some of his suggestions and advice. I have lawyers in my family but they are not Texas Bar admitted so I am familiar with good competent lawyers and definitely felt I was in the hands of a competent attorney. Thanks for your time Ross.

EXCELLENT PERSON ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP!

Posted by

After a few hours of posting my question, I received several answers, most of them very vague and just to the point. But Lawyer Russell was completely different, he took the time to ask more questions until he provided the correct answer. He is very knowledgable and overall very patient and kind. I now know more about my issues just by interacting with Lawyer Russell. Thank you very much for his time.

Today I consulted with attorney Ross Brenton Russell on the phone about a civil case I'm involved in concerning a Breach of Contract over a business dispute and arbitration. Attorney Russell took time out of his busy day to answer my legal questions and give me valuable legal advice. He was also very professional. I highly recommend Attorney Ross Brenton Russell.

A valued professional.

Mr. Russell offered excellent advice in an honest, straightforward candor. He was able to hone in on exactly what I was hoping to accomplish and offered me the best tools to do so. It is truly exceptional when an attorney is able to extend sound advice without pretension. A true diamond in the rough. Thank you, Mr. Russell.

Relationship: Friend

Ross Russell is by far one the most intelligent young lawyers I know. His ability to look at a situation from several angles and determine the best possible course of action is unparalleled for someone his age. As a young attorney myself, and a personal friend of Mr. Russell I can say with full confidence that if you need help with a legal situation that falls within Mr. Russell's practice area, that he should be the first person you call.
