Excellent Counsel
Our son found himself in some trouble and he needed representation. Mr Russell was assigned to our son as a public defender. He was patient in answering our questions, courteous and thoughtful. We appreciated his expertise and honesty. Mr. Russell was able to negotiate a reasonable outcome for our son. His staff is easy to get a hold of and always got back to us quickly. Thank you for making a stressful situation better with your calm and excellent leadership.

I recently needed a lawyer to defend myself against a criminal charge. He was reassuring, helpful and good at what he does. The result was converting the criminal charge into a violation or non-criminal offense, which was the best outcome and avoided a trial, even though he fought we could ultimately win at trail. His advice was spot on and appreciate his expertise and resulted in a good outcome. He is an excellent criminal lawyer when you are in need.

He answered me almost immediately after I contacted him he reached out to courts and was able to answer every one of the questions I had. I would definitely recommend him to your criminal lawyer as he is well experienced and connected to the courts.
