The Russell Law Firm in Baton Rouge is on your side. We provide aggressive defense and knowledgeable representation so you never have to face your criminal matter alone.

A driver with a commercial driver's license will face more severe penalties for driving under the influence of alcohol compared to someone with a normal driving license. Non-commercial vehicle operators arrested for a DUI face serious consequences, but the consequences are not as life-altering as those faced by a commercial driver.
DUI accidents that result in death attract the harshest penalties such as lengthy prison sentences and hefty fines. This is a guarantee especially if the driver that caused the accident was impaired by alcohol or drugs (illegal or prescription medication). A motorist can be convicted of vehicular homicide if the accident they caused while impaired resulted in death or great bodily harm and certain other conditions were met (see video below).

I could not be more pleased with my experience with Russell Law Firm. Danny was cordial and professional. He did an amazing job of explaining the process, what to expect, and defining all legal jargon during our meetings. Our case settled very quickly (all things considered) for a fair amount (not as much as we initially asked for, but definitely reasonable). He fought for us, even convincing the opposing attorney to fight for us as well! Unbelievable! I would hire Danny again for any and all legal needs.

After my car wreck, I didn't know what to do. When I called the Russell Law Firm, they were able to quickly take care of all my needs. They were able to set up an appt with the doctor that very day. I was so relieved when we were able to quickly settle with insurance and I was able to get my car fixed and medical bills paid.

I was involved in an accident in October 2017, and then another in May 2018. I was asking around for possible attorneys, and people gave me several suggestions but none felt “right.” So I asked a friend if she knew of anyone and she suggested Danny. The best suggestion! Danny and Michelle have been there for me, working attentively to my cases and… getting me max dollars. For the October accident, we settled a few hundred less than the policy’s limits. Statistically, accidents such as mine are given less than half of what we settled for. Danny works hard, and is trustworthy

Call Danny!
My experience with the Russell Law Firm has changed my outlook upon attorneys in general. Danny and his staff were extremely professional, knowledgeable and result driven. They never confused me with legal jargon, and instead explained things simply and straight forward. They cared about my case, but unlike other lawyers, they also cared about me and what I wanted to do and what I felt comfortable with. Most other attorneys take your money and tell you when to show up. The Russell Law Firm went above and beyond to make sure all of my needs were met and I felt like my case was the only

We highly recommend Russell Law Firm for all your legal needs. Danny Russell is a very knowledgeable, hard working, and kind person! We loaned our utility trailer out to a family member. That family member wrecked with another vehicle and totaled the trailer. Neither insurance wanted to pay us for the value of the trailer. We had Danny Russell take over and he was able to get us the payment we needed to get another one. We were highly satisfied!

It was a positive experience working with Danny and the Russell Law Firm on my case. They were there to help me every step of the way. After my car accident, I didn’t even know where to begin. Dealing with… insurance companies can be nerve wracking, and an injury on top of it was overwhelming. Danny was in constant communication with me. His attention to the case allowed me to recover and get back to work quicker. I would absolutely recommend Danny Russell to handle your personal injury case.
