Russell Family Law

Testimonials & Reviews

"I hired Ms. Russell for child custody settlement. I was desperate to find a decent attorney who would actually advocate the best interest of my child and handle my ex's aggressive attorney. This attorney is good at her job and will be straightforward and honest with you.

When I came into Ms. Russell's office, I had "trust issues" with attorneys I had hired in the recent past (for the same case). Ms. Russell was very understanding of my reservations and reassured me her representation would be a much different experience. I could tell at that moment Ms. Russell had stellar confidence in her representation. She literally picked up the pieces and got the case resolved in a reasonable timeframe.

Ms. Russell was great with communicating and keeping me informed. She would either call or email (whichever was more appropriate). She also returns phone calls. Her office is very modern, comfortable and welcoming.

I was very headstrong in what I wanted in child custody. Ms. Russell listened to my requests and offered support and guidance. Ms. Russell also had the ability to emphasize with me and my experiences on a level much different than any other attorney I had in the past. In addition, Ms. Russell would tell me when I was being completely unreasonable (this is important). When people split and children are involved our emotions run high and we do not always think rationally. Ms. Russell will help bring you back to reality with courtesy and compassion.

Ms. Russell was able to negotiate and settle child custody out of court. The custody order was everything I wanted and I was 100% satisfied with her representation. If I ever need family law representation in the future, I will go back to Ms. Russell. She has my trust and I have confidence in her representation."

“My case was a rather large mess from the very beginning. When I first walked into Ms. Russell’s office, she was very direct and straight to the point, which in return made things easy for me to understand. She picked up my case after leaving my first attorney.

Ms. Russell knew I was trying to do everything I could to provide my daughter with a proper upbringing. She was always on-point and extremely professional in court, which made all the anxiety I am personally feeling subside. She truly cared for my daughter and me, and she never judged me for my outward appearance, which many do.

Then, after years defending me and gaining sole custody and child support, the battle still hasn’t ended due to her father’s neglect to pay his dues. She still defends us even to this day, trying to get us our support.

I highly recommend her to anyone who is going through one of these tough times life gives us. She is, in my eyes, everything someone would want on their side in a battle for your life and children.”

“Erin has represented and fought for me for more than a year. I came to her a fearful and distraught individual, a victim of domestic violence for five years. She helped me understand my legal rights and maintain my safety. She was my backbone in court, assertive, confident, and a step ahead.

Erin fought for my rights and for my child's safety. She was reassuring but always realistic with me. I could not have gotten through court without her by my side, and surely would not be where I am today.

With Erin's help, I was able to get sole custody and a protective order. I am no longer the fearful and distraught individual I was when I first walked into her office.”

Erin Russell has been my attorney on file for the past two years. In 2016, I hired Erin for a high-conflict, child custody matter. Before I hired Erin, I had gone through two other attorneys, who did not care about my child's best interest. When I hired Erin, I was skeptical. However, Erin proved to me that I could trust her completely. With Erin's excellent legal expertise, the custody matter was resolved outside of court. Issues that were important to me were Erin's top priority. Erin's professionalism, honesty, lightheartedness, knowledge and most importantly trustworthiness influenced me as a returning client. I was confident I was hiring one of the best attorneys in the area to represent me- again!! 

In Early 2019, Erin was my attorney on file and represented me in a high-conflict Grandparents Rights matter. From the beginning, I knew I could trust Erin to protect my childs best interests. I was highly impressed with Erin's written "Motion to Dismiss." I was even more impressed by her representation in the Motion to Dismiss Hearing. Erin was very knowledgeable, prepared and confident when interacting the Judge and the opposings attorney. Although I was highly stressed about my case, I was confident I had one of the best attorneys in the area representing me. From past experience, I knew I could completely trust her judgment and expertise. The case turned out in my favor and I did not expect anything less. If I ever need legal representation for a family law matter, I can count on Erin to deliver desirable results.
