I worked with Russell on a securities matter and although the process was scary for me, he instantly put me at ease and got a successful result. He's well trained and extremely capable and not only is he a great lawyer, he's also a great person. I cannot thank him adequately for all he did for me. I pray that God blesses him and all of his clients. If you contact him, you will certainly get the best counsel.
Russell is a pleasure to meet and work with. He proved his vast knowledge when he counseled me on an EB-5 securities compliance issue. He listened to me intently and his advice was spot on. Literally everything he told me happened in text book fashion, but with his advice I was able to prepare for and avoid trouble. I am sleeping much better as a result, and my stress level is way down. I highly recommend Russell for securities offering compliance and SEC defense matters!
I spent more than ten years as a Securities & Exchange Commission branch manager and litigator. I practice corporate and securities law and have more than twenty-five years of career legal experience. My securities law practice includes both corporate and securities transactions and litigation matters. My interest is ensuring that you are protected from the legal risks of raising capital. However, if you are already in a situation where there is a threat of investigation or litigation, I will defend you from potential financial and reputational damage. The personal financial and reputational dangers to executives and entrepreneurs involved in a securities lawsuit are real, and it is my desire to protect you to the best of my ability. Read my book available at for more information on capital raising risks. Contact me sooner rather than later.
