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 helpful 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.

The best at what he does!
A year ago I reached out to Robert due to my unfortunate circumstances, he was very patient and helpful, did everything in a very timely matter and was very responsive to my questions. A year later I needed some help with a letter and reached out to Robert again and he was again very responsive and helpful above and beyond. I highly recommend anyone needing to file bankruptcy, reach out to Robert and his crew! He'll take care of you.

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.

Simply the BEST
When you need an attorney...you NEED an attorney and Rob Russells law firm steps up when you feel practically defeated. A whole lot of different emotions are wrapped up into Bankruptcy and getting through it requires stamina and follow through and they can get you there with your integrity still in place. I can't thank them enough for all they have done and continue to do for my business, my clients, and my friends! My number 1 referral.

Mr. Russell the Magic Man
No words can describe how great Robert Russell and team are. Robert and team are extremely helpful and super responsive! My case was a bit complicated but that was not a problem for Mr. Russell and his team. Robert Russell and team are very professional and I would recommend Robert Russell Law Office to anyone. Don't wait or hesitate he is at the top of his game. Best in the Northwest! The bill Collector doesn't care what's going on in your life. Even though it's out of your control he just wants his money. Mr. Russell the Magic Man has helped give a little relief to my life during turbulent times. Thank you Mr. Russell and team.

I wouldn't go to anyone else !
I am a single Gal and I made some bad choices. Far too many bills, newly divorced and retired. I was just plain scared. I had no idea who to see about Bankruptcy, it isn't something I wanted to share with my Friends or Family. I actually chose Robert by chance and I definitely made the right choice this time! From the time I walked in the door until the day of "court", Robert reassured me everything was going to be okay. If I had questions along the way, Robert's knowledgeable Staff were happy to help.If they didn't know the answer, they made the time to find the answer. I had a million and one questions, believe me. Now they cannot do all the foot work, you will have homework to do. It's your finances, you just have to fill in the blanks. I would not hesitate one bit in recommending Robert. He knows the system and I don't think you can surprise the Guy! He's been there, done that, and he will be with you and for you all the way! Thank you Robert, my life is so much better today because of you and your unwavering commitment in what you do!
