I called the office of Russo. I had some questions pertaining to a small claim law suit that I was about to go through. He answered all my questions that I had about the process and what it was I was about to have to go through. He was super kind and knowledgeable. 10/10

I had a phone consultation with Chris Russo, and I couldn't be more impressed. He was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to truly understand my situation. Even over the phone, I felt heard, supported, and informed. They explained everything clearly, gave me honest guidance, and never made me feel rushed. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal advice — a true professional who genuinely cares.

I found Chris through my employer's MetLife legal plan coverage. I saw he had great reviews so called his office. We explained our situation to the person who answered the phone and soonest they could get us to connect with Chris would be Monday (it was Friday). We asked if he even has 5 mins if he can squeeze us in and they said they'd see what they can do. About 10 mins later we get a call from Chris and he spent about 40 mins on the phone with us answering all of our questions. He is very professional, knowledgeable, listens well and had a good demeanor all around that made us feel comfortable to ask questions. We left the call feeling prepared about next steps of our situation and he let us know we can contact him anytime for more advice. Highly recommend.

If you need an attorney who is fair, compassionate and a straight shooter, do yourself a HUGE favor and Chris Russo. I hired big law firm (who shall remain nameless) to represent me to quickly learn I was just a number. I reached out to Chris to get a consultation and he guided me on the best path to take. Chris thank you from the bottom of my heart Sincerely Elsie P.

I contacted Mr. Russo through my work place legal service after feeling like the first attorney my husband contacted only had his interests in mind. So glad I did. He was honest, and empathetic and explained my options thoroughly. I did not feel pressured to "sign" anything and really felt he was looking out for my best interests. If I have cause to call an attorney again, I will definitely call him.

I had a great experience working with Chris Russo on a valet parking damage claim. He provided clear and practical advice that helped me navigate a challenging situation. His professionalism and willingness to assist made the entire process much smoother. Thanks to his guidance, the valet parking company’s claim team reopened and overturned my case, and a check is now being shipped to me. I highly recommend Chris to anyone in need of legal support. Thank you for your excellent service!

From initial phone call to in-person meeting, Russo Law shattered expectations. My initial interaction was with Jeanette, who was warm and inviting. I had to reschedule last second and there was no fuss, or hint of frustration. She simply worked with a time that worked for me, that wasnt necessarily convenient for their office. After a few minutes of meeting Mr. Russo himself, it was clear what this experience was going to be. We came in ill prepared and with lots of questions. He displayed patience and understanding towards my mother and myself and allowed ample time to deliberate amongst ourselves as we moved forward through the process. He explained everything thoroughly and provided personal experience to drive home points and clarify understanding. It was obvious this law firm is for its clients and not a money grab. I recommend Russo Law to any and everyone.

I spoke to Mr. Russo at length about a legal matter yesterday and was very impressed by his knowledge of the law, empathy, and code of ethics. In a world where attorneys don't always have your best interest in mind, Mr. Russo definitely does. He listened thoughtfully, answered all of my (many) questions, fully addressed my concerns and gave great advice. The reassurance he offered as well as the humor he was able to find definitely brightened my day and made me feel a lot better given the situation. I saved his information and most definitely will be using his services again should the need arise. I absolutely recommend Chris Russo at Russo Law. Many, many thanks!

Chris called my husband just minutes after we had inquired online about an issue we were having. He spent time answering my husband's questions and giving informative and expert advice. Although we don't have an actual legal case at this time, I would highly recommend Chris because of his attention, knowledge and expertise. We will certainly use him with any further legal issues.

I reached out to Chris Russo's office to an issue with a business. The first time I called, the office listened to my issue, wrote down my contact information and set up an appointment for Chris for the same day. He called right on time and provided excellent advice and helped me walk through the process. I got my issue resolved the next day! Chris even followed up after to make sure I was satisfied with the resolution. Will 100% contact Russo Law in the future if I have any legal issues that need to be addressed.

Chris assisted my husband and I recently in creating our wills. He took my call immediately, I didn't even have to wait for an appointment. He explained everything in detail, drew up the will and had it emailed to me in only a few hours. He made a difficult topic absolutely painless. He was easy to talk to and extremely professional at the same time - a hard combo to come by in an attorney. I also had a separate legal issue to discuss and he allowed me to run it by him during that same consultation regarding our will. When I asked how much he charged for the separate legal matter, he was so gracious and told me not to worry about it. Talk about amazing customer service! I will definitely recommend him to anyone that is in need of legal advice in the future.

I'm new in the State of Florida and acquiring a morally good person in their profession is essential to me. Chris Russo listened to my predicament with an automotive claim. I was pleased with his quick turnaround time. Providing several options to choose from was comforting. He spoke in laymen terms so everything was crystal clear. His emolument was a big plus too! I truly believe I have found myself an attorney when seeking legal assistance.

Mr. Russo was very patient and compassionate when we spoke. He wasn't arrogant or pompous like most lawyers today. He cared about me as a person and listened, without rushing me or cutting me off. When people are injured, and or feel they have been wronged, they feel vulnerable and sometimes fragile. The last thing we need is a lawyer who is just out to make a buck, and sees a person as how much money they can make them. Mr. Russo was the first lawyer who took the time to advise me. I contacted at least 10-15 lawyers. They all had someone else call me to say they would not take my case without explanation, and to call the Bar. They would say "We aren't able to take your case, but that doesn't mean you don't have one, call the Bar." What does that mean? They all left me without an explanation of why. Mr. Russo was the first lawyer who took a few extra minutes to explain what happens and why. He even took a quick minute to look at a photo... I just needed to be seen as a person and heard. I tried not to take up much of his time because he was so kind... and I do know that time is money, (He never made me feel that though) but when a person like Mr. Russo takes the time to listen and offer advice that you can move forward with or information so you can see your options and make an informed decision, that person deserves me taking out my time to give a great and well deserved review. I was having a bad couple of days... Talking with him and his kindness made it better. The Golden Rule is to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. What goes around comes around and you reap what you sow. For what you did for me, which may seem small to some, I know that good things will continue to come back to you Mr. Russo, so, never change the goodness you have within you. Please continue to care and have compassion even if you can't take a case. For that, I know who I will remember, and keep in my contacts. Should anything else come up, though I hope it will not, you will be the first Lawyer I call because if there is a case to be had, you deserve the case. This is a long review, but that is how much I was impacted in just 10 or 15 minutes! Thank you Mr. Russo

I would highly recommend the law office of Mr. Russo. I made a call to his office and his staff was polite, friendly and willing to help me. The lady who answered the phone connected me with on of Mr. Russo's assistants. She listened to what I had to say and assured me he would call me back ASAP. Mr. Russo called me right away and was very understanding and extremely helpful. For me he was God sent and it was a pleasure to speak with him. If in the future I need to ask for any legal advise, my first call will be the Law Office of Mr. Russo. Thank you to Mr. Russo and his entire staff.
