THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!

The amount of patience, skill, and help that Mr. Russell provided me ALMOST made me forget about my case all together. The world needs more HONEST and HARD WORKING attorneys like Mr. Russell.

Best Attorney

Peter was extremely professional and helped me with my court case. One of the things I loved about him was his responsiveness to me. He gave me his cell phone and I was able to call him late at night and on the weekend. He always answered his phone and was professional during each of our conversat...ions. When Peter went to court he was ready, and fought for me at every turn. I highly recommend! He is now my family attorney.

Warm and dedicated Lawyer

Mr. Peter Russell helped us with a big case. Without his help, we would be in a bad situation. We are truly thankful for Mr. Russell's expertise. He enjoys building a great relationship with his clients. If you got questions, he will have answers. He works very hard to help clients out and does great... with consulting. I recommend him if you have questions or concerns. He is the "first to go" lawyer in New Orleans.

Unprofessional

Peter was very unprofessional and late numerous times to our meetings. I'm late too sometimes, but when it happens more than once it makes me feel like my case isn't important to him. Mr. Russell was also very rude when handling my case and made my wife and I feel like we were helpless. I expect more... out of an attorney and I believe I will be seeking help elsewhere next time I am in need of legal advice.

I'm sorry you feel this way, but you were /are not a client a mine. In fact you have never been a client of mine. I have marked your comment as inppropriate and flagged it for AVVO staff.

Excellent!

Mr. Russell has been extremely effective in court on multiple occasions. He has met with me on short notice and is prompt at communication. His dedication is very apparent. I highly recommend Mr. Russell!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
