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.

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.

I called Russo Law 30 Minutes after my accident. After that they took care of everything from getting the at fault drivers insurance to cover everything, to setting me up with doctors, to fighting for me to get the best possible settlement. The whole experience was painless. All I did was go to my Dr. visits and hold out to the end. I would 100% recommend and reuse them if I ever find myself in this situation again.

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 had the privilege of working with Chris Russo, and I can confidently say that he is not just an exceptional attorney but also a remarkable human being. His unwavering commitment to justice is matched only by his genuine compassion for people. Chris is humanity in action. He approaches every case with empathy, understanding that behind legal matters lie real lives, emotions, and struggles. He listens attentively to his clients, ensuring that their voices are heard. Chris treats each person with respect. In a world where legal battles can feel cold and impersonal, Chris Russo stands out as a beacon of hope. If you’re seeking an attorney who combines legal prowess with genuine care, look no further. Chris is the embodiment of compassion in the legal profession. Note: This review is based on my personal experience and observations. Chris Russo’s dedication to his clients and community is truly commendable.

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 Russo is an excellent attorney with a heart for people. Many years ago, when an insurance company refused to pay for anything after an auto accident, he helped my family recover far more than I thought would be possible. Years later he still remembered me and was able to point me in the right directly on another legal challenge. Highly recommended. You won't be disappointed.

I contacted Chris at Russo Law through the recommendation of the FL Law Board. I did this because I was st my wits end for a civil case that I was a defendant in. I tried contacting all those big names you hear on TV and the radio and none wanted to give me the time of day because I wasn't the one looking for money. Chris understood this. He not only steered me on the right direction. He did so with understanding, knowledge, and compassion. The final solution allowed for an amicable compromise that that was seen as a win for all involved. This would have never happened without, not just the help, but the understanding Chris brought to the conversation. I will say this. Why call the other guys who will blow you off when they can't see dollar signs a plenty and headlines galore. Call someone who walks you off that emotional cliff and has the knowledge and compassion to help you when in need. Thanks again Chris. It's not often these days when someone can make you feel like you found a friend the first time they picked up the phone and answered your call.

It’s bad enough needing a lawyer but having one that’s an overall good guy you can trust is everything. Thank you for your patience and making a stressful situation extremely tolerable. Hopefully I never need a lawyer again. If for some reason I do, glad I don’t have to look for one. I already have your number. Seriously, I don’t hold a lot of trust in people, this guy has mine and is definitely worthy of yours. Can’t forget about Fernanda, she is equally as amazing. Thank you both for everything.

I have dealt with a few attorneys over the years, and you typically talk to a receptionist wait a week or more, get a crazy retainer fee you must pay and then the attorney begins charging for every email, every phone call etc. Chris had some availability, called me back the same day personally to figure out the issue I am having and even advised ways to avoid litigation. Not to avoid business, but to do the right thing for me the customer. Other attorneys likely would have dragged me through months of litigation costing me thousands in the process. Honesty is the best policy and from my dealings I really like how forthcoming Chris Russo is and willing to help.

Russo Law is amazing. I’ve had to use attorneys in the last couple of years and it has been a hassle. This is not the case at Russo Law.

I will be only using him from now on.

I called Russo law because I needed some paperwork done in regards to Will and items of that nature. Mr. Russo is a total professional. We discussed the items via phone due to the covid-19 situation and he took all my information and replied promptly. The next steps he made really easy for me as we went back and forth via email until all the items on the document were to my satisfaction. I am happy to report all my documents are in order and I personally want to thank Mr. Russo for a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend using Mt.

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.

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

Mr Russo began representing me prior to opening his own office. He and his paralegal were always professional and up to date with the progress of the case. Any question I had they provide me with answers in a manner which was easily comprehended. When he stepped out on his own and invited me to allow him to continue to represent me in the case I was initially conflicted about leaving an established firm and following him not certain of what support staff he had in place. Nevertheless I stuck with him on my case and I have no regrets. He carried my case to its final outcome. I found him to be not only a competent attorney but very ethical as well. Chris I wish you great success in you practice. I will not hesitate to seek your counsel should I need someone in your area of practice again. Randall T

I was referred to Mr. Russo by a very good friend of mine who happens to be a lawyer. I was in a tragic car accident on Christmas eve of 2014, in which I was traveling with my boyfriend, daughter and niece. We were hit head on by a drunk driver, killing my boyfriend and sending the rest of us into intensive care with multiple surgeries. Mr. Russo was a Godsend to me. He gave me his cellphone number and told me to contact him any time, which I did whenever a question would arise. This was the most tragic time of my life. So many emotions and uncertainties, however Mr. Russo was in my corner and I felt assured that he would never let me down. He honestly cared and that is priceless. I still have his number saved in my phone as Bulldog! Thank you Chris ❤🙏😇
