If you need information about accidents, personal injury, wrongful death, medical malpractice, DUI, military or criminal defense visit our website, or contact us at. Our lawyers and team handle serious injury and wrongful death cases throughout Arizona and the United States. We limit our DUI defense to Arizona.
In 2012, our legal team made a choice to devote our full attention and practice to representing the people in cases against the big insurance industry and defendants charged with crimes. In that vein, we opened The Russell’s Law Firm, PLC and focus our practice on just that, representing the people. We do not represent big business or the government.

We hired Chris to defend my son with a recent criminal charge. He was helpful, informative and you can tell he truly cared. We are happy we went with him and would recommend him to anyone in a similar position.

I hired Chris to help me fight a criminal charge. He was quick to reply to any questions and helped me understand our very complex legal system. Everyone there is great! I would recommend him to anyone needing legal help.

I came to Chris after a DUI. I was embarassed and overwhelmed. He navigated everything for me and got me the best possible outcome. I still can't believe it. Chris and his team have been so helpful. Tracy, his paralegal, is incredibly kind and quick to get back to me. I cannot thank Chris and his...

I am military member that was charged with a DUI in Sierra Vista AZ. A DUI is a career killer in the military so I needed to find the best attorney to prove my innocence. I searched all over the state including Phoenix and Tucson. After conducting more than 20 consultations I realized that Mr. Rus...

The Russell’s Law Firm, Chris Russell and his team helped me get all the money I was due for my case. Being involved in the legal system and dealing with the issues from the other side were stressful, but I trusted Chris and his team to take that worry off my plate and we persevered until the end an...
"There are those who play lawyers and then there are real lawyers. Chris is that real lawyer, the one that shows you he cares, shows you he understands, and shows you he believes. He works tirelessly on your case; he is prepared, he is present in your moment, in your life, right alongside you. He walks with you down your path, showing you the way. In a time when clients are often searching for someone who listens and understands what has happened to them, it has become increasingly difficult to find a "real lawyer" amongst the many commercials, ads, and billboards. With Chris, you don't need to look through pages of website reviews to know you've found a truly authentic, real lawyer, all you have to do is spend a few minutes with him. When you do, you'll know you've found a real lawyer, one who doesn't brag about results or talk about other cases, but one who wants to listen to your case, your story, your life, so he can feel, experience, and tell it to earn justice for you."
"Chris is one of the best lawyers in Southern Arizona. He's honest, experienced, professional, and knowledgeable. He is also very personable, with a great courtroom presence."
"Chris Russell is a fantastic trial attorney and a great advocate for his clients. We opposed each other on a number of cases, and later we had the opportunity to colloborate on some cases. Chris is an exceptional communicator, a very hard worker, and tremendous advocate. If my life or liberty were on the line, Chris would be the first person I would ask to represent me."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Chris for approximately 15 years and know him to be an excellent attorney in civil matters (including personal injury) and in criminal defense."
"Chris Russell is simply one of the best trial lawyers in the country. Chris, even though he is a leading attorney, is continually finding ways to continue to innovate his approach. Using cutting edge methods is one of the many things that separate him from the pack. I am perhaps most impressed with how much Chris cares for his clients. Anyone considering hiring Chris, should absolutely do everything they can to have Chris in their corner."
"Chris Russell is consistent in his professionalism, his dedication to his clients, and his pursuit of justice. He commands an exceptional understanding of both the civil and criminal legal systems and their processes and employs that knowledge to the benefit of those who are intelligent enough to retain him. He is fair and evenhanded in his dealings with opposing attorneys, making him one of the most respected attorneys in his community. The manner by which he conducts himself and the method by which he applies his skills in a case demonstrate that he epitomizes the calling of all attorneys to tirelessly, ethically, and vigorously advocate for the interest of their client. I strongly recommend Chris Russell to those in need of legal services."
