Hired Attorney 2021Russell and his team kept me informed and objective throughout the entire process. They were always upfront and realistic in what the outcome would be. Best of all, Russell helped us reach a settlement and not have to go to trial. I was the respondent in this case. I work nights and knew I didn’t want to waste time or money and went to them right away after being served. My kids are my world. I know that I can sit with the outcome of my case and know I did all I could to get the best end results here. I would recommend them to anyone looking for any type of help in family law.
