About The Russell Firm

An Aggressive Defense Against Copyright Infringement And Defamation Cases

BitTorrent downloads and cable/satellite piracy may seem like victimless offenses, but internet service providers (ISPs) and cable providers take these issues very seriously. When these service providers become aware of an infringement against them, they will take action against those who they believe committed the act.

Here at The Russell Firm, we have built our business on standing up against the big businesses who come after our clients. Attorney Erin Russell has been developing her strategies to take on these companies since 2004. When these major industries send big law firms against you, you deserve an attorney who is capable of defending you and has the experience to back it up.

How We Protect Our Clients

One of the key factors in defending against copyright and trademark infringement cases and defamation accusations is keeping current when it comes to all relevant technologies and the rapidly-evolving case law. Since 2009, our firm has been defending those facing BitTorrent subpoenas and copyright infringement cases, and we have helped thousands of individuals defend their rights.

It is not enough for us just to reach the first resolution possible for our clients, and we want to be sure we are pursuing the best possible outcome on your behalf. You deserve to have an attorney you can trust at your side, and that is exactly what you can find at our firm.

Hired Attorney Ms. Erin Russell

I recently hired Erin Russell for a Strike 3 Holdings case and came looking for a site such as this, as I wanted to acknowledge the exceptional work she did. From our initial consultation, she was professional, knowledgeable, and approachable, which helped ease the stress of navigating such a lawsuit. She carefully walked me through the typical approach to these cases, clearly explaining what to expect, including the potential for settlement negotiations and outlining possible outcomes. Her insight into the process was invaluable, and her strategy ultimately led to a better settlement than we had initially anticipated. Throughout the process, Erin showcased her thorough understanding of the intricacies, consistently kept me informed and ensured that I felt supported and involved at every step. I greatly appreciate Erin; Her approach and commitment made a challenging situation far more manageable.

Hired Attorney Ms. Erin Russell

Contacted Erin over a copyright infringement noticed I received from my ISP. She walked me through the details, explained what I'm facing and charted the options I had. She was upfront about expected financial hit as well as her fees. Throughout the process she communicated what was going on and ended up settling the matter slightly under her estimates. I highly recommend her services if you are dealing with the similar copyright infirngement matter.

Hired Attorney Ms. Erin Russell

I retained Erin Russell to help me settle a dispute with Strike 3 Holdings, LLC. I had filled out an email inquiry on her website, and she responded within hours to set up a telephone appointment. During that call, it was evident that Erin was extremely knowledgeable about the process, and informed me that Strike 3 would initially throw out a large number to settle, but that she was confident to get it decreased to a more acceptable amount. After a few weeks, the case was settled for the amount that she had originally estimated. I have nothing but good things to say about Erin.

Hired Attorney Ms. Erin Russell

I hired Erin to represent me in a copyright infringement case involving torrent downloads. Her retainer fee was competitive, and she said with a high degree of certainty that I would settle for a specific range of money based on the plaintiff's claims. Competing law firms said I would never get the settlement range Erin predicted, saying I would have to settle for much higher dollar amount. It was a tense, annoying negotiation process, but in the end, Erin struck a deal on the higher end of the settlement range she expected I'd get. Mind you, this was still far LESS money than competing firms said I'd have to pay. Long story, short: She accurately predicted the settlement amount, and I left the experience feeling competing lawyers wouldn't have performed as well.
