I started practicing law in Collin, Dallas, Denton, Grayson, Fannin, and Hunt counties since November 2004. In 2016 I moved my practice to the Texas Hill Country and currently practice in Burnet, Gillespie, Llano, San Saba, Masson and McCoullogh Counties. I handle both criminal and family law cases, including divorce, child custody and CPS.
I was born in Arlington, Texas on December 22, 1974. I graduated from Texas Christian University with a B.S. in Biology in 1998. I received his Juris Doctor at S.M.U. School of Law in 2004. I was admitted to the Bar in November 2004. I believe my educational background in Biology makes me uniquely suited to handle criminal cases involving scientific evidence such as DWI, drug cases, Assualt cases dealing with DNA evidence and Burglary/Theft cases where fingerprint analysis is sometimes used.
I have been an active member in the Boy Scouts of America and obtained the ranking of Eagle Scout.

Amazing Attorney And A Must Have!
I thank God everyday I'm able to wake up I met this man. Sometimes the choices you make are not the greatest and the judicial system makes you out to be a vigilante and you do not feel like putting up a fight. I originally had a felony 2 charge which was in the process of being revoked and Russ took ...

He is an excellent attorney. Highly recommended!
Russ is an excellent attorney. knowledgeable and a positive person. He will fight your case, no matter what, as he did for mine. Although he was a court appointed attorney for me, he did not put any less time and effort as if he was hired by me. I had a class A assault charge, and despite the fact th...

Best lawyer we have ever used.
Russ far exceeded all of our expectations and he kept us informed at all times, taking a lot of worry off our family. His results could not have been better as the case was totally dismissed. We will always use Russ when the need arises.
