    "He Couldn't Have Made It Easier"
    Want to give a huge thanks to Russell & I would highly recommend him! He was always easy to get in contact with and answered any questions I had. He couldn’t have made this process any easier. Greatly appreciate all of his work!
    - Nikki N.
    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!
