Client Reviews
Hazel Zay December 7, 2021
A Master of His Craft I was severely injured while riding my bike on the bike lane by a vehicle on the road. I was under insured and hurt severely at both my neck as well as my head wound sites, which were both compounded by a fractured nose and the need for sutures across my neck from the glass. Within a week we had rejected all offers, and Russell quickly and I mean QUICKLY secures the maximum payout of the insurance which won me a $100,000 settlement within just a few weeks. This was the maximum amount available. No doubt his intrinsic and meticulous knowledge of the law is just one facet of a truly brilliant "pitbull" of an attorney, UM and ASA experience and finally he's an attorney with Wolfson, one of the top if not the top rated law firm in Ft. Lauderdale.
