Mr. Russo is an EXCELLENT attorney! He recovered money owed to us after a traffic crash that we were not at fault for. He has great wisdom and knowledge! He responds quickly to calls and messages. I would not hesitate one bit to have him represent us should the need ever arise again!!

I needed assistance with a non-profit. I located Chris Russo through my work place legal plan. Once I contacted his office, I received a call back within 2 hours to discuss my needs. We were able to schedule a phone meeting the next day. Chris was patient, informative and so pleasant to speak with. I didn't feel that any questions were beneath him, nor did I feel rushed. I appreciate his professionalism and positive attitude.

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

If you are in need of someone you can trust, this is your guy. From day one, he was fair about $ and kind to me. I feel very fortunate to have come across him during my search for an attorney. He is an incredible, kind, and wise person. If you are on the fence about whether to pick him or someone else, the answer is to pick him! Mr. Russo is a special person!

I want to thank Chris Russo and Fernanda Kretzer for being there for me and my husband for the last two years since my husband's accident. Chris and Fernanda were our advocates during an awfully hard time for us, and were a very diligent, prepared resourceful team. They made me feel like they sincerely cared about our case and they were ready to fight for us. The way that Chris connected with us, in my opinion is key when you are about to trust someone to handle your case. Chris was always punctilious and answered every question we had. I am eternally grateful for the talented service that was
