Russell Sheridan Babcock

My wife and I retained Mr. Babcock to help us with a post sentencing issue and he was always reachable and extremely professional. His knowledge of the law is second to none and wish I had him from the very beginning of my case. Do not hesitate to use Russell! He’s a breath of fresh air and will leav...e you with a sense of being in good hands and on your side.

Russell is very experienced (he used to be a prosecutor, so he knows how the other side operates), and in criminal defense situations that is almost all that matters. The rest of what matters includes legal proficiency (Russell knows the law), clearly conveying ideas to the prosecution and the court... (he certainly did in my case), and not missing the forest for the trees (getting bogged down in useless details is a waste of time and can hurt your case). Put simply, Russell is an excellent advocate. He also possesses the qualities that one would like to see in his/her lawyer, but often does not - prompt responses, polite disposition, simple and concise explanations of the available options, and a genuine care and concern for the well-being of his clients (they are humans, not numbers). If you hire Russell, you'll know that he's working hard to get you the least amount of punishment possible, and it will be money well spent.

Russell had him firm were great attorneys. With the help from them they kept me from serious federal charges being filed against me. They were very informative every step of the way. I at no time felt I was being ignored or neglected. I felt they were honest and trustworthy. They knew what they were ...doing. I was very impressed.

I am very grateful for the representation provided to me by Russell Babcock. I went to San Diego on vacation with some friends to get away from a brutal Rocky Mountain winter. On our second day there one person in our group brought drugs with him to the beach and decided to help himself to a pocket i...n my daypack to stash them. I took them out and gave them back to him and that was witnessed by plain clothes police who then arrested us both and charged us with felonies including conspiracy and intent to distribute. I had never been in trouble with the law, and now I was locked up with a high bail and facing a prison sentence. I was devastated. A felony conviction would also mean the end of my career. Nobody wanted to listen to my side of the story. My family called Russell Babcock and he listened to how I had ended up in jail and he immediately told me his goal was to get me out of jail with a much lower bail and to fight the charges until they were dismissed. He recognized that being a convicted felon was not an option for me. Mr. Babcock was very confident in his abilities to defend me and told me of recent similar cases he had worked on with successful outcomes. Based on his eagerness to help me turn this case around and use all of his experience and knowledge of the criminal justice system to represent and defend me, I decided to retain him as my attorney. Sure enough, at my first hearing I was released on a lower bail, and over the course of the next few months and all my court appearances he took the time to get to know me and the facts of my case. He represented me extremely well and worked on my behalf with the District Attorney so that I could be placed in a court-sanctioned program for first offenders. This meant I did not have to go to trial and after I completed the program, my case was dismissed and I have no criminal record whatsoever. My employer even found out about the case through the periodic background checks they do, and I could confidently tell them I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and that the charges were dismissed. They were very happy with that outcome, too, and have never mentioned it again. For all these reasons I am extremely satisfied with how well I was represented by Russell Babcock. I recommend him without reservation to anyone who has need for expert criminal defense.
