Mark Thomas Russ

Mark Russ, what can I say but “Consummate Professional”, in a scary time of my life. This Fall I was presented with a serious accident charge that occurred way back in 2000, that due to my PTSD’s memory loss issues I was totally unaware of the accident and events. As a senior gentleman now that had... never had trouble with the law and a clean record for all my life, I was facing needing to hire a lawyer to take on my case in court. Not knowing what to look for, how to find someone that understood my need for defense but my inability to pay grand amounts of fees, and needing to count on a stranger for a positive outcome was immediately a daunting and painful place to be in. I talked some of my close friends that had prior experience in having to hire defense and I had the basic list of what to look for, and took that list as my guide through the many sites of Law Offices on the internet. Yes, there are plenty of good lawyers available, how did I come to pick The Shouse Law Group? Well, my list as my guide I went through many sites and found that reviews speak a world about a Law office, its teams, and its results.to pick the right one. I was impressed by the thoroughness of down-to-earth content, reviews that provide enough detail from plain talk people like me, and Shouse Law Group client reviews spoke to high levels of results. What I learned from the site was the trusted warmth and gratitude Clients placed when mentioning Mark Russ, it made my choice easy and I called, left a message and he responded right away in spite of a large caseload. I now had my Lawyer. Mark’s intake interview calmed many of my fears of the unknown and whether or not I hired the right person for me. Mark’s calls with me then provided the building of the well-developed case to present and the case went like clockwork as planned and now an innocent defendant became and innocent outcome. Mark Russ of gets results. I found it easy over this few months to absolutely know that I was working with a trustworthy and strategic person, and found him compassionate to the effects of PTSD I live with and how it could have made me more of a victim in different hands. He is a well-seasoned person and I am very glad to say I picked the right lawyer. What I found in Mark is he is available to his client's needs, trustworthy, does his homework, think out of the box and really represents the needs of the clients throughout the whole process.

Mark Russ handled my case flawlessly. Mark is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate. He always took the time to explain things in detail and make sure that I understood all of the options on the table as the case progressed. He is very prompt with returning calls and emails and I ...never felt like I was rushed off the phone when I had questions about my case. Mark also understood my financial situation and the need to minimize costs. In the end, thanks to Mark’s skill and experience in cases like mine, I got a very good deal. Under the circumstances, I felt very fortunate to receive such a favorable resolution. If you ever need a defense attorney, Mark is as good as it gets.

The gift that Mark gave me that above all meant the most wasn’t the fact that he got the result that we wanted, which is obviously great, but to me it was the feeling I got after our first consultation. Before I met with Mark, I was truly honestly scared the charges on me could jeopardize my Immigra...tion status or worst get deported. I actually contacted 4 other lawyers and tried to set up appointments for a live, in person consultation. Unfortunately each consultation was done over the phone, and at the end of each one I felt hope fleeting. It seemed I was being met with comments regarding my immigration status and how that would make my case harder and more expensive. This all changed when Mark met with us and as I explained my situation, he quickly realized that as he would ask me questions to clarify specifics for his knowledge that I would get tense and was trying to give him the answer I thought he wanted to hear. He took a minute to reassure me that in his opinion I had done nothing wrong and his job was to make sure nothing would ever happen to me, and that I would never be negatively affected by this experience. At that point I knew he had to be my lawyer. Mark was able to give me what I needed the most in order to deal with the stress, fear, and anxiety. Peace of Mind. Thank you so much.

After finding myself in trouble, spending over a year in and out of court, and having spent nearly $20,000 in legal fees fighting charges with another lawyer I finally decided to look around for better representation. My current representation had somewhat of an air of disrespect for me over my parti...cular charges. I found Shouse law group and setup a meeting, and I was treated with only respect without the feeling of judgement over my charge. They reviewed my case and the work that had already been done and pointed out many things that had been handled poorly, and it gave me the hope I had lost while fighting this for so long already. After only 3 more court visits we came to a very reasonable deal with the court and finally the nightmare was over, much quicker and hassle free than I had imagined. Many thanks them who helped me through this process quickly, and with respect, with the outcome better than I could have hoped for before talking with them.

I had a domestic violence case and Mark helped me dismiss the case before the court day so I am very very happy and grateful about my result. Mark is very patient and helpful explaining all the legal terminologies to me since English is not my native Language. He replied my phone call very fast a...nd got things done in a timely manner. I highly recommend him for those who need help and constructive legal advices. This is my first time hiring a criminal lawyer and I was very skeptical at the beginning because a lot of people would say lawyers nowadays are more like businessmen. Mark doesn't give this feeling at all; instead he is very much of a friend and therapist in this whole process. He tried to minimize the cost of my case and meanwhile reached the resolution that I expected.
