He saved my home

I was very fortunate to have found Mr. Russell's office. I appreciated the knowledge of everyone at the office and the communication was always timely and professional. The staff listened and Mr. Russell has a way of making people feel at ease. I never thought my mother-in-law getting sick and put... into a nursing home would have required us to take out personal loans to pay for her care and burial expenses. She thought she had coverage so we expected re-imbursement only to find out that she had no coverage at all. Suddenly we had debt that we could not pay (and it wasn't even technically our "own" debt). Mr. Russell helped me save my house that I had worked so hard to get (prior to my marriage) which was being threatened by the creditors to take. In the end, I could trust his judgement and felt adequately protected under the law. I very highly recommend this law practice for any needs you have associated with debt. He will not steer you wrong.

Exceptional Attorney!

Robert Russell is a great bankruptcy attorney. He helped us so much. Takes payments and made the whole process so less stressful than it could have been. It was handled quickly and efficiently! He was wonderful, and very personal. We highly recommend him to handle your bankruptcy needs.

Posted by Sharon | March 21, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Bankruptcy

Mr. Russell represented me on a Chapter 7 in 2019. Being well versed with the bankruptcy rules, he answered any and all my questions in such a manner that a lay person, such as myself, could understand. My petition was prepared, which we went over together, and it was then filed on my behalf. At t...he creditors' meeting, he was present and sat with me at the Trustee's table while I answered the questions put to me. With his professionalism and knowledge, I highly recommend Mr. Russell to assist as your legal representative.

The Human Touch*****

I was Embarrassed as I walked through the Door to ask for help but I was very relived shortly after as we Talked to Mr. Robert Russell and His Staff. They understood the problem and gave me all the answers so I understood going forward what was involved. I liked everything about My Experience with t...hem, the court and the classes. it was nice to Know the court day My Lawyer would be there with Us. Thanks Again Mr. Robert Russell

Freedom to start anew

Filling for bankruptcy can be a stressful situation. For many bankruptcy signifies a personal failing. My wife and I came into Robert's office owing tens of thousands of dollars in credit card debt and medical bills. With the minimum payments and high interest rates we saw an uncertain future in w...hich our debts threatened to disrupt our ability to raise our family. We researched lawyers and decided to visit Robert Russell to see what he could do for our situation. Unsure of what to expect, Robert was very informative about the process and our options, he answered all of our questions, and made the process very easy. Our bankruptcy was not simple, and he worked hard on getting us the best result available (which was better then I expected). Today over a year later, our family is free from the overwhelming burden excessive debt becomes. We have begun the process of rebuilding our credit, soon after our bankruptcy we were able to get a credit card, and we recently were able to secure financing on a 2017 minivan @ 5% interest, thus replacing our old vehicle which had begun to cost more in maintenance then it was worth. Our experience shows that bankruptcy does not signal the end of financial independence, but allows people to reset their financial future. Going to Robert was the best decision my family could have made! Our family's finances are in great shape thanks to the bankruptcy, and I would recommend Robert to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation.

"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."
