Hired Attorney Russell Kornblith

Russell will talk a big game. He will go over all of the potential strategies that he will use to win your case, ranging from easy to hard. He will say that he will be with you every step of the way. Once I became a client of his, his multiple strategies for my case disappeared and he only wanted to try the easy route. After explaining to me how strong my case was and how much leverage we had, he ended up being outstrategized by lawyers for an insurance company. Once this took place, Russell refused to continue working on the case and refused to explore the other strategies that he said we could when I decided to go with him as my attorney. Russell is very polite, talks like he knows what he is doing but when it came time to actually perform, he did not perform and then ran away and left me with no where to turn.
