"Russ and I were involved in a complex real estate matter in which he represented the Yakima Air Terminal. We had an issue of first impression. We were ultimately able to settle the matter to our respective clients' mutual satisfaction thus avoiding a costly appeal. His legal analysis and advocacy for his client were first rate. I have found Russ to be an excellent attorney in other matters as well."
"I endorse this lawyer. I worked with Russ on a very complicated, complex, multi-state, estate litigation matter. Russ, was very smart and savvy and helped bring the matter to a close. I would not hesitate to refer my most complex estate planning or estate litigation matters to him."
