This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Very Caring

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.

Very Helpful

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 h...e 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.

Very knowledgeable and helpful!

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 a...nd 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.

"Ross Russell is by far one the most intelligent young lawyers I know.

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."

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.
