Donald D Russo

I hired this lawyer to represent me and not only did he not show up at my unemployment hearing, he also got many facts wrong on my wrongful termination lawsuit. He did not keep me informed and just kept sending me bills. I agree with other reviewers that this lawyer actually did more harm than good... for me. He also changed staff regularly and moved his office without any notification. When I tried calling the office there was a recording saying the number was disconnected! I finally ran out of money and had to walk away from my lawsuit. I agree that there are MUCH BETTER lawyers in the area!

I work for the City of Allentown for 10 years and fired under Ed. I work in the Parks Department. I was physically assaulted, threatened and sexually harassed. To begin Russo requested cash for payment a lot and I compiled. After paying him $16,500.00 he claim I only paid him $7000.00. I have proof. ...He gave me generic receipts from a booklet you can get at a office supply store. I question his bookkeeping techniques. He never had my personnel file submitted as evidence witch is the smoking gun of evidence where it is documented about the years of body slamming violence that happened in the parks dept. that happened before I started working there. He never read my personnel file, found out when I quizzed him. He never prepped me for trial. He did not show up for a deposition so I did not have legal representation. He did NOT hire a forensic psychologist to counter the cities forensic psychologist. Did not used any of my eye whininess including the HR director that was fired 2 weeks before I was because he said he could not find him. The HR director had been in the public phone book for 17 years. He showed up to my trial hung over one day. There was an additional competency trial on Dec 7th in regards to his conduct. I've got the documents. I lost the trial and filed for an appeal. The 3rd circuit court found a judgement against me??? What? This is legal a violation of my civil rights. Ed sued me for trying to sue the city for sexual harrasent and put my house up for Sherif Sale in 2012. According to the ACLU and several legal malpractice attorneys not only were many laws broken against me, but my attorney did not full-fill his legal obligation to do his job was was paid well for. Every couple of years Russo moves his office from Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton and who knows where ells. Why? I can prove every thing here is true. I have a copy of my transcripts from my 4 day trial. However, I am keeping anonymous because have have been harassed, staked and vandalized by my old co-workes for over a decade and it has finally stopped.
