This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Highly recommend

Robert Russell and his office were spectacular. I would hands down hire him again and highly recommend his office. He thoroughly outlined the process and what was to be expected. He is a straight shooter, to the point, and very professional. He is a great communicator and listener. He called me on ti...me for every phone call we had scheduled, he was prompt in responding to my emails. He followed up with me timely and immediately let me know the results of my case when they were available to him. I am very pleased with the outcome as it was just as he expected it to be. He was highly compassionate and caring about my case and situation. Hands down the best lawyer I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with.

Awesome Attorney

He offers a free consultation, & during mine he was so nice & straight forward, explaining everything to me in a way I could understand but did not make me feel dumb. I was nervous & left out a pretty big detail (the amount of my debt) & said it was wayyy less than it was (I actually only said the am...ount of one of my debts) & he told me it would cost more to pay him than for me to pay that debt, & I was like ok & said the total of all my debt, & he looks at me & laughs & was like wait, that's all your debt & not this? Well, that is a different story.. We both laughed at my blonde moment & I knew right there he was my kinda guy haha.. I retained him that day & we got to work, everyone in the office I had any interaction with was great! Shout out to Brandin, super cool & made me feel comfortable & welcome every time I came in. I definitely recommend Robert & his team. I'm so grateful I did this. Thank you all so very much!

Client

Being in the difficult position of having to file bankruptcy, you have to find someone you trust to help you through the process. Mr. Russell put us at ease and was so easy to work with! You never felt judged or looked down upon by Mr. Russell or any of the office staff. The staff was friendly and he...lpful as well. I would recommend Robert Russell Law Office to all my family and friends!

Great Choice!

Robert handled an issue for me with a major US bank. It was a very old and complicated issue that had been nagging me for years, Robert dealt with the bank, figured out what needed to happen, and then got it done. The outcome was the optimum one for me, I was willing to settle for less but didn't ...have to. Thank You Robert.

"When you look for a lawyer, the first thing you should look for is someone who is compassionate. A compassionate attorney will be kind but will not let you run wild doing things that you shouldn't be doing. It is obvious that Rob is compassionate and has the qualities every lawyer ought to have. I have observed that he pays attention to the details that other lawyers might overlook. For these reasons, I am happy to be able to offer Rob Russell my heartfelt endorsement."
