He’s a strong lawyer & is never condescending when we asked a lot of questions. He has such a wealth of knowledge & so helpful, is kind but a very strong advocate & presence that we needed. He drew up our wills and so many other private matters that we needed him to task . Thanks to him immensely!

He is an excellent communicator and takes the time to explain things in a manner that non lawyers can understand. So many lawyers talk over your head, but David takes time to explain things. He has assisted us setting up two type S corps as well as a will and trust for our children and grandchildren. I've known David for over twenty years and will continue to seek his advice in his areas of expertise.

Mr Russell worked hard and made a lot of time for a very unrewarding difficult case. He was available 7 days a week and holidays. When I has questions he called back in a timely manor. He made my problem his problem.

I’ve used Mr.Russell for many years now and have been quite pleased with his results. When I have come across a situation which didn’t come under his legal expertise, he was more than willing to assist me with acquiring an attorney that specialized in my situation. Mr.Russell has always gotten back to me in a reasonable amount of time considering he works without a paralegal or secretary . I consider this a good thing so when you hire Mr.Russell you get Mr.Russell and not a subordinate with less legal knowledge .

We hired Dave to represent us in a real estate transaction. Selling our first home was already difficult on its own and Dave made sure to not add any additional stress. He is very knowledgeable in this area and did everything possible to insure our best interest came first. It was such a pleasure working with him. Will absolutely trust him to represent us for any future needs.
