Russell Sheridan Babcock

Brilliant lawyer, exceeded my expectations! My elderly mother was used as a blind mule and got arrested when crossing the border from Tijuana to San Diego. As soon as I found out about the arrest, I started doing extensive research on several attorneys. Our family had no prior experience with the le...gal system as it pertains to criminal defense. I had no idea what to expect or what all needed to be done. It was quite a frightening experience. When talking to Russell Babcock I felt comfortable talking to him, his ability to listen and his more than 30 years of experience in criminal law, I agreed to hire him for my mother's case. Also, gave me the lowest price compared to other lawyers. Mr. Babcock was so caring, took the time to know my mother and guided our family through the process. Every time there was new information, he emailed or called. He was responsive and called me back promptly. The end result was "Dismissed without Prejudice". We owe a lot of thanks and gratitude to Mr. Babcock for going above and beyond. He is very professional and knowledgeable. He is honest, trustworthy, true to his word and more than anything else, he truly cares.

My grandson was involved in an incident in which he was arrested and booked for some very serious felony and misdemeanor charges . A gun, under the influence and drugs and a vandalism charge was very concerning. We were so fortunate to have obtained Mr. Babcock as his attorney to represent h...im. Relying on a personal friend for a recommendation and reading the positive reviews we could not have been more pleased with our decision to retain his services. All reviews are true to his representation as he was always in touch with us every step of the way. He asked all the right questions and had all the right answers. His recommendations to us were followed to ensure that our cooperation would help with a successful outcome for my grandsons court appearance. This week when we appeared for the court appearance Mr. Babcock came out of judges chambers after discussing the case with the judge and the DA . He gave us the good news that the felony charges were dropped and now reduced to two misdemeanor charges! No drug charge and there would be NO jail time. One year probation with no need to report but to submit proof back to the courts within 6 months of 40 hours community service, attend 25 DA meetings and take a gun safety course Restriction for not having a gun for one year probation period and his confiscated gun would be destroyed. He will pay a fine for the vandalism damage as requested by the homeowner and a minimal $150 for court fine. We could have not asked for a better outcome. Our many thanks to him for saving a young man from time in jail or prison. He will now go on to look back on this and be thankful that he was represented by someone who cared about his future.

Not all super heroes wear capes. I have nothing but praises for Mr. Russell Babcock, he is the closest I have seen with super powers in a court room. Mr. Babcock represents the layman side of the law; through his counsel we were able to digest and understand all the terminology and processes requ...ired to follow taking our decision making to the next level. Since the initial counsel seeking phase Mr. Babcock showed true availability and genuine interest in knowing and understanding the case. He showed a very humane side since the first meeting, inspiring confidence, knowledge and experience. Due to these facts, it was an instant match and there are no regrets on this decision. Mr. Babcock during each of our meetings was very detailed oriented, pointing out all possible ramifications on each decision/path we decided to explore. Through his experience of over 30+ years helping defendants and his up-to-date knowledge of the federal/state law a very satisfactory result is guaranteed. How he handles himself in court shows professionalism and helps to transmit confidence to the defendant even in front of the toughest judge. He was able to pull a short of a miracle with one of the hardest judges in the southern district. I sincerely hope no one is even in the need of a lawyer but in the unfortunate event you are then Mr. Babcock is your go to lawyer. Highly recommended if you are looking for the best outcome. 100% availability is assured through him or his super-efficient assistant Nathalia, you will always get a quick response and attention to every of your needs. Nothing but praises for the super-fast track trial that Mr. Babcock helped resolved. Mr. Babcock is the poster child of professionalism, resourcefulness, knowledge and skillset of the law.

A close relative recently moved to San Diego, and subsequently got drawn in by a colleague to cross the SD/TJ border to lend her car to his friends; she was left in a hotel room, and when they gave back the car, Border Control detected a gas tank full of drugs. Thus began a nerve-wracking nightmare. ... We sought out a knowledgeable attorney to guide us through our options. I interviewed three to query their approaches, tone and attempt to elucidate their effectiveness. Mr. Babcock provided the most meaningful and coherent explanation of what needed to happen, sounded empathetic yet realistic, and had broad experience with similar cases. The case dragged on, with so many tense moments and fears of the unknown. Yet through it, Russell proved to be attentive, responsive, patient and understanding. While much of his work was invisible to us, he helped us understand we were in a marathon, not a sprint. The twists and turns in the process were navigated adeptly, and it was clear Russell had his finger on the pulse of the system. He never ceased working towards the best solution under the circumstances, even when it meant waiting. I found that the best way to interact was to deliver what he requested in the most expedient manner. I was often delivering quicker than he expected, which gave him greater freedom to work on our behalf. If you have questions, ask; when he didn't respond in my timing, I'd ask again. He always found the time to give a thorough explanation. While he didn't believe everything told to him by us or the client (and admittedly, our emotions were high) he did always receive and process it, and attempt to verify its fit with all the evidence. We learned that Russell, although he's seen a wide variety of situations, has a passion and integrity in his work, as well as a thorough knowledge of the law I have to say the outcome was truly extraordinary, and if you choose Mr. Babcock, he will look for the real "you", demonstrate compassion with your plight, and guide you into your best solution. You, as the client, a friend or relative, should show your support at every turn, pray without ceasing, take some deep breaths, and help all your loved ones rebuild towards stronger bonds and futures.
