But this time I got speeding ticket from a State Trooper who is smarter than the Waze app. (He used moving radar, got me on I-71 at mile marker 34, which is not half a mile from where the speed limit raises from 65 to 75. This guy knows exactly how to game the system.) Working with Attorney JR Bernans was a breeze. He advised me on the current state of the local prosecutor (some recent personnel changes at the courthouse added some nuance to the case. We discussed strategies, and probable outcomes. And while I know that everyone will not be as fortunate as I in their legal disputes, JR was able to reduce my speeding ticket to a nonmoving violation. This guy is GOOD at his job. Took all of the hassle and stress out of the equation for me. ac And while I can't vouch for the firm at large, I expect that if they attract talented attorneys like JR, working with Rittgers and Rittgers is probably going to be a great experience for you. It certainly was for me.

Emily M. Cochran-Desantis is superior!…read more Had a custody situation where I needed help during difficult covid circumstances with limited access to court enforcement. Emily prevailed for me against strong opposition that resulted in exactly what I needed but would have been helpless to secure on my own.

Emily came highly recommended to me from a super credible source.. and I'm only too happy to add my strongest endorsement. If you need a hotshot, Emily will get it done for you.

Roger will assume cases are easy and not put in much effort. He will pass you a notebook during the…read morehearing to "take notes" but then forget he asked you to do that and take the notebook away. He will loose evidence from the time it's presented to the time it's supposed to be handed over to the judge. He shakes. He was at one point called into the judges chambers, and you could hear the judge yelling at him out of frustration. He asks to leave the court room to talk to his assistant. He asks your witnesses, "What questions should I ask on the stand?" He tells witnesses your case cannot be won without them. Two of my witnesses in the court hearing that day asked me if I thought he may have been under the influence of drugs. He does not do research. He does not put time into your case. If you hire this lawyer, you may as well make a stand during the hearing and ask for a continuance for his incompetence. Save your 11,000 dollars and do not hire.

I cannot say enough about the Russell & Ireland Group…read more In 2017, my wife and kids were in a horrific car accident where a driver was speeding and hit my wife's car head on crossing into their lane. Long story short, it was a bad situation where my son needed significant surgery. When I searched on yelp for an attorney in desperation, I discovered Adam Russell and Russell & Ireland Law Group. Adam was a complete game changer for me at a time when I didn't need to be thinking about a legal situation. 1. Adam Listens, period. First and foremost, he is a family man and puts himself in your shoes. He embodies your situation from the get go, asks questions first, and formulates a clear action plan for you. 2. Adam is knowledgeable. He is extremely familiar with the judicial system, the players in the courts, and the legal system. I always felt confident he could navigate the situation well so I could focus on my 3 year old son in the ICU. 3. Adam is persistent. To be honest, we were under covered from an insurance standpoint (this was my fault) but he looked across all avenues to get what was fair for my family and massively reduced the medical bills from my son's surgery and weeks in the ICU by working with my health care insurance company. I called him today (in 2023, 6 years later!) to ask him a follow up question and he still remembered our case and was happy to help. This is a stand up company in every possible way. Their values show up in their work, effort, and how they treat their clients. I would recommend them 100% every day.

I was calling another firm or service and was transferred over to Mr. Adam Russell. This was very…read morefortunate as he listened and truly assisted me with my concerns. He spent time and explained things I wasn't grasping. Even better, is that this attorney took time out of his day knowing he likely wouldn't/couldn't be hired by me. Good customer service is hard to come by, Mr Russell is confident, clear and concise, as well as caring-- if he is an option on your list then I would strongly suggest meeting

Jeff Lawson is the most awesome lawyer in the business! When I first walked into his office 7…read moreyears ago, I thought he seemed a little young and was skeptical about his experience.

Not only did he fight for me in court, he also made me feel good throughout the entire situation that lasted several years! He is worth every penny!!!
