Russell Ira Glazer

I retained Russ to represent me in a very complex legal dispute. The dispute was with a large multinational organization that was able and willing to spend significantly more resources than me. As I said, the litigation was very complex. It involved litigating two arbitration cases and two fed...eral civil cases - at the same time. During this process I came to appreciate and respect just how good Russ is at his craft. Russ was able to navigate us through these multiple cases and complex proceedings. He developed a narrative for our position (one that I had not even considered) and positioned the arguments to our strengths. Mind you, he was doing this while being bombarded by three opposing legal firms and a gaggle of a dozen or more contentious attorneys. There were times where it was just Russ and me in a room with 10-12 opposing lawyers. As intimidating as that might be to some, it was not to Russ. He defended me and my position with vigor, skill & solid arguments. I believe the opposing counsels came to realize - pretty quickly - that they were not going to intimidate Russ. Russ and I went through this highly charged contest for two years. One cannot help but learn something about a person when spending that much time - in a high stress environment with them. Here is what I learned. Russ is a consummate professional. No matter how the opposing side tried to get under his skin or treat him with disrespect, his responses were always cool and level headed. Russ is a strategic thinker always looking to position for the "end-game". Russ is excellent at cross examination and he knows how to develop and present arguments that will carry the day. Russ is also passionate about practicing "law". I once asked Russ if my case was difficult. He said "yes", then added, "but it is cases like these - the bully vs. the little guy - that made me want to go to law school.....lawyers dream of defending cases like this". It is that kind of passion about exercising his craft of "law" that, I believe, makes Russ a great lawyer. In case you are wondering. We prevailed in all of our cases - two arbitrations and two civil cases. It was a complete victory and Russ was the one responsible for making it happen. I cannot recommend Russ highly enough to anyone looking for a great advocate.
