Excellent overall experience working with Robert Russell

I had a very difficult bankruptcy case with a creditor that exercised every option available to them and the creditor was very challenging and Robert Russell helped me navigate through the legal process and advocated on my behalf for a reasonable final outcome. I will recommend him to my friends.

Extremely satisfied customers,...We couldn't be happier...!!

After my wife and I delayed the inevitable for many years, we finally decided we needed a fresh start, and filed for bankruptcy. The fear of the whole bankruptcy process, and what it entailed keep us from filing for quite some time. Upon our initial meeting with Robert and his team, they put our mind...s at ease, and we knew we were in good hands. Everyone there made the process easy, and with minimal hassle. We would definitely recommend Robert Russell and his team for all your legal needs, and we will not hesitate to refer others to him..

Friendly yet professional

This was a very long and hard process for me and Robert Russell and staff always made me feel at ease. There was never any questions unanswered whether it was in person, email or phone. Always very prompt!

Bankruptcy is a serious matter! Go with the best!

I knew I needed to file for bankruptcy, but what lawyer would I go with? Bankruptcy is a serious matter and I needed someone who had great reviews, this is not just some random restaurant on yelp. I needed the best for my bankruptcy case. I needed it all to go according to plan so I could come out th...e other end with no debt. I noticed Robert Russell had so many positive reviews, right then, I knew I found the right person to handle my case! Bankruptcy means filling out lots of paperwork. Robert Russell has it all in a worksheet format, so it's easy to fill out, just takes lots of time from start to finish. When I went to the courtroom, (other debtors also in there), to have a public meeting with the bankruptcy trustee for questioning. I had the chance to observe other bankruptcy attorneys with their clients. All the clients seemed nervous (just like me) but some could not answer questions correctly or made errors in the paperwork and their attorney never caught it and they had to reschedule the trustee meeting. Robert Russell was up there with me and oversaw my questioning. I answered the trustee questions and my paperwork was in perfect condition, everything went through smoothly. The two legal assistants were very quick to respond to the emails and keep me up-to-date on everything. They were super kind and double checked all my paperwork for mistakes. They work very hard and are on top of everything. I would recommend Robert Russell to anyone who is looking into the possibility of bankruptcy. This attorney knows bankruptcy inside and out.

Excellent Help From Robert Russell

I recently had a lawsuit filed against me for past medical bills. Not knowing what to do, I called Robert Russell. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. After helping me to realize bankruptcy would not be my best option, he worked with the other party to reach a settlement agreement. Without his ...help, I wouldn't have known what to do. I highly recommend Robert Russell to anyone needing help with bankruptcy.

"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."
