HE LIED TO ME

I paid for a referral from the State Bar Assoc. and they gave me Robie Russel's name and number... I called 4 times ... left messages ... he only has a tape recorder answering the phone... for 4 days never received a return call! The final message I told him I had paid for the Referral through the I...daho State Bar and they told me to call them back and let them know if I heard from him. I said in that message I had called 4 times now on different days with no response so unless I heard from him I was going to call the bar and let them know. Suddenly, I get a call from him... during the call he was curt and unfriendly ... but he told me to send him the information via e-mail he would review and respond - I did immediately - no response - resent the e-mail still not response - I am in a situation where I could lose my home and he was aware of this. Time is of the essence - I left messages on the tape recorder his office phone and on his cell phone ... several over days and he Totally Heartlessly Ruthlessly accurate description IGNORED ALL CALLS AND DID NOT KEEP HIS WORD! Dumped Me w/o a word... I put 2 days into compiling the information he requested ... HE NEVER RETURNED THE E-MAIL OR THE CALLS CRUEL COLD HEARTED AND RUTHLESS ARE AN ACCURATE DESCRIPTION I COULD LOSE MY HOME AND BE IN THE GUTTER AND THIS WAS AT CHRISTMAS TIME! OMG

Highly recommended!!!

Robie Russell has been just fantastic!! I highly recommend him for representation! He's caring, compassionate, and zealous. He had gone above and beyond for my case. There are not enough words to describe my appreciation for what he has done for me. I was in a difficult situation and he helped me out... in a pinch. You're lucky if you ever get an opportunity to work with such a great lawyer. Thank you Robie!!!

Business legal issue conerning state environmental policy

Mr. Russell came highly recommended from a business associate. I had received notices from a Washington State regulatory committee and needed help responding. He guided my team and my business's attorney through the process and we came out on the other side in about the best shape I could have hoped ...for. I continue to use him for other matters and couldn't think of a better example of what an attorney should be.

Environmental Regulatory Issue

Have hired Robie several times for various issues concerning my business and its interactions with state and federal government regulations. I also use him for general business law. His background as a high-level administrator in the EPA undoubtedly helped my business immeasurably. Had a great outcom...e on a case that went before a judge and continue to use him today. He is the attorney that you'd hope to have on your side: intelligent, honest and effective.
