Client Reviews

“Joe has your back. I'm an Oncologist and am pretty much the last person anyone wants to meet. Divorce attorneys are right up there too. That said, when you need us it's good that we are there. Joe surely was there for me when I needed him. Joe helped get me through the most difficult chapter of my life so I was able to focus on the wellbeing of my children and my patients. He and his staff kept me up to date on all issues in a respectful, professional and compassionate manner. I am indebted to Joe and his team.”

“Meticulous, zealous advocate. Joe is the real deal. As a lawyer myself, I hold my lawyers to impossible standards. Not only was he meticulous and extremely detail oriented, but he paid close attention to my needs and advocated zealously for me from beginning to end. He is also efficient and practical - two attributes that are very important in legal counsel. Highly, highly recommend.”

“Joe continually had a firm grasp on the pulse of my case. His insight as to how to proceed with each step was spot on, and proved to be invaluable to me and the settlement of my significantly complicated divorce case. Joe is honest, trust worthy, and demonstrated several times throughout my case his desire to NOT take a course that would have increased his fees-but rather the best course-even if it meant it would minimize legal costs. I would highly recommend his services to my family and friends.”

“I was very nervous. Divorce is unsettling. You need hope. Joe is one attorney who despite being a great listener is good at communication too. He made complex financial calculations sound so simple. What I really liked about him is his self-confidence and his behavior with the adversary. He is respectful to all and hence wins everyone. I really felt very secure in his presence as Joe was there ready to cover my back. Joe is now like family - what more compliment may I offer!”

“I spoke with several lawyers before I hired Joe to represent me in my divorce. What I liked most was his straight forward style, ie., he did not tell me what I wanted to hear, but what I needed to hear in order to view the divorce with less emotion and more like a business transaction. I trusted that he was not looking to draw out the process for more legal fees, but to realistically come to a settlement, and was mindful of my priorities throughout the process. Divorce is emotionally charged and contentious by nature, but at the end of the day the law provides some ground rules and structure, so being mindful of a realistic outcome is important if you do not want to drive up legal fees to only, most likely, get the same results in the long run. I think in a successful / fair divorce settlement both parties leave the table not 100% happy. Joe did a great job in navigating through the emotions and keeping on task, while also fairly representing my best interests. I would not hesitate to recommend Joe and never regretted my choice in placing my trust in Joe.”

“I found Mr. Joe Russell to be very professional, caring, and willing to give full and prompt attention to my legal matters. He was supportive and understanding rather than condescending. I never felt like I was being "nickel and dimed." On several occasions he worked over the weekend on one day notice to rush documents to court on my behalf successfully protecting me from unlawful seizure.”

“Joe was extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the whole divorce process. Joe also showed real compassion, he was honest, practical, patient and responsive to all my questions and needs, which made the difference, and this difficult.”

"Joe Russell is the best in the business"

"Mr. Russel and his team is excellent to work with. For me they had made my case so much easier to handle and deal with. I was given the best and practical advise to deal with the mess I was in. When a family is breaking , the best is to break apart with the least possible emotional and financial damage and Mr. Russel has given me this direction and advice. Which really eased so many complications and made life better for me and my kids. The entire staff is very cooperative and on top of the matter always. I had another attorney before , who had made my life miserable and she was extremely incompetent and reluctant to look at my case which cost me a lot of financial and mental stress. However, I was lucky to have found Mr. Russell who put my case back on track and got me the best exit. I am very thankful for everything, especially the patience and guidance I have received from the entire team."

"Joe was great to work with. Reliable, helpful, empathetic."
