Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.I had the privilege of working with Phil Russo during one of the most challenging periods of my life, and I can say without hesitation that he is an outstanding attorney. Phil is incredibly accessible — he responds to emails, texts, and calls even on nights and weekends, which made a huge difference when urgent issues arose. His pragmatic approach, backed by decades of experience, helped me navigate a complex divorce involving false allegations, multiple arrests, and intense custody disputes. Through it all, Phil remained focused on what mattered most: protecting my children and securing a fair outcome. His strategic guidance led to a favorable resolution in both custody and asset distribution. Phil Russo has my highest recommendation. If you're facing a difficult divorce and need someone who truly advocates for your best interests, he's the one to call.
Mr. Russo is an extraordinarily skilled attorney who deftly handled an emotional case involving child custody and visitation. I cannot image an attorney with keener insight, more compassion, or a greater respect for the law and both litigants. Although we "won", the case was resolved quickly and efficiently, and we came away feeling that even the "other side" would acknowledge his level of respect and decency. Eschewing artificial drama or posturing for calm, incisive details, logic and reason, he is the antithesis of the ambulance chaser, and someone to whom I would again turn should there be a need.
Phil Russo is not only a very competent and professional attorney; he's above and beyond in his understanding and advice of very complex and emotional issues involved in family and domestic legal situations. He listens and gives sound opinions and scenarios and lets you decide. I recommend Phil highly because he is all of this and more. He's also kind, interested and honest; and the value you get for his service and advice is worth it. He's also very reasonably priced.
