Action and Results - Especially for Complicated Cases

My husband and I were in a very complicated situation involving a trust/probate legal matter with another beneficiary who was not cooperating and was making the situation even more difficult. Mark Russakow was there every step of the way guiding us in our legal matter. Though the situation was emot...ional for us on a client level, Mark remained level headed and guided us forward all the way through to resolution. Once the matter was finally resolved, Mark Russakow and his firm were extremely fast and fair with us in regards to payment and final documentation of trust accounting. We were particularly pleased with the way that Mark Russakow answered any questions quickly that we had in relations to our case for the entire period of being a client. I would recommend Mark Russakow with a 5+ star rating, especially if you want to reach a resolution and get results for your legal matter.

There is no substitution for knowledge and experience.

Because of the complex nature of a real estate title matter on a single family residential home of mine, I was referred to Mark Russakow of Russakow / Greene & Tan by Legal Zoom.com. As I began to struggle in explanation of my precarious property titling issue, Mark Russakow waited patiently for ...that well timed pause in my story to confidently fill in the blanks in a reassuring way that he has been there and done that. He quickly and efficiently carved his way to the heart of the matter, setting a straight forward and easy to understand course allowing me the ability to self navigate the early portions of this real estate issue. Through his personal tutelage, I acquired the knowledge and confidence necessary to recognize the exact opportunity of when I should turn it over to the professionals. Thanks again Mark for your time and consideration. There is no substitution for knowledge and experience. Sincerely, Kent

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.
