Posted by Stacey | April 21, 2015 | Wrongful Death

Not an ambulance chaser! This guy has feelings.

After losing my beautiful mother to a car accident, my life had been turned upside down. My emotions were raw and open. I needed legal help, and in my condition, I couldn't handle one of those "ambulance chasers" who are only in it for the money. Our first meeting with Russ was unbelievably comfo...rtable. He spoke with compassion and understanding, truly wanting to help me and my brother. It took close to two years for our case to get settled, all the while Russ never wavered on his effort, kindness, compassion and work ethic. He fought for justice in our case and he/we got it. I felt that he genuinely cared, and because of that, during the case he really got to know my mother even though she was gone. That meant A LOT! And if we ever had a question, he always knew the answer and explained things in a manner that was easy for us "non-lawyers" to understand. When all the dust settled, I gained not just a great attorney, but a real friend. I highly and proudly recommend him to anyone.

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.
