Excellent Service and Trusting Attorney

Mr. Russell handled our bankruptcy with kindness and no judgement. He spent the necessary time to explain our options and supported us through out the entire process. He has handled our own personal bankruptcy and another family members filing. I could not recommend him any further. He can be trusted... to serve your needs and answer all of your questions during this difficult time when struggling with debt.

Robert Russell is an Awsome Bankruptcy Attorney

After consulting with a few attorneys, I decided to hire Robert Russell. He is knowledgeable, efficient and compassionate, a winning combination! Robert Russell and his staff, made the bankruptcy process much less stressful. I highly recommend Robert Russell and his staff, they are AWESOME!

Not your typical Lawyer

I first contacted Robert Russell a year ago. I have been having a lot of financial difficulties with complex situations attached. Mr. Russell not only has helped me but only has his client's best interest in mind. I will be meeting with him again next month to continue with my bankruptcy. I had consu...lted with another lawyer and left that office feeling horrified and in tears, he only cared about getting his money and provided me with no advice concerning my situation. Mr. Russell gave me peace of mind and I would recommend him to anyone needing help, he truly cares which makes all the difference!!

Recommended ~ Top Notch Attorney

Robert was amazing in helping me decide what all my options were before my bankruptcy. Not only did he let me know all my options, he went above and beyond to make sure that I felt comfortable with my decision. It is hard when you are having financial struggles both financially and emotionally and he... was wonderful at putting my mind at ease. I have recommended friends to him and some have used him, other have not. What I can say about the people who haven't is that I heard them complain again and again about all the foot work they had to do and about how things were missed. Many had to deal with repeated calls from bill collectors and had some items that were missed. When dealing with Robert and his staff it is probably the most painless experience I have had. You get them your information and they take care of the rest. I would recommend him over and over again because I trust his knowledge.

"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."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
