    Five-Star Reviews From Happy Clients
      "Exemplary Experience"
      The first conversation that I had with him gave me peace as a Mother knowing that my son would have the right attorney in his corner. He always responded to messages and his confidence and experience were exemplary.

      "Aggressive for the Best Outcome"
      All around a great lawyer. We were able to have all the charges against me dismissed. He was aggressive in reaching the best outcome for me and he did it at a cost no one would have considered.

      "Much Love and Respect for This Man"

      Russell is by far the best defense attorney in Jax. He did an amazing job with my case. Has the respect of the state's attorneys and the judges as well, which if you know how the law works is important for your defense.

      "He Came Through"
      I hired Russell to defend me against a DUI charge. He came through and got the charge reduced to something more favorable. I thank him for helping me get my life back to normal. Definitely recommend him.
      - Carlos H.
      Called the McCormick office in trouble, with my freedom on the line. Russell answered the phone himself and confirmed he took on my type of cases. He took my information down and we scheduled a consultation. When I arrived for my consultation, he already had the information about my case,and a plan to come to my defense, already in tow! That made me confident in hiring Russell. However, my case had gotten thrown out (unbeknownst to me) and even though I paid the retainers fee, he sent me a refund.In reality he could have kept it. That right there is why he'll forever be my go to attorney if I needed one. Ready to defend and honest when need be. I appreciate him and Ms Dorothy and highly recommend. Thanks again!
