I recently had the pleasure of working with Russell Family Law & Litigation, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the moment I walked into their office, I was met with professionalism, compassion, and a genuine dedication to my case. Erin Russell and her team handled my legal matters with the utmost care and expertise. They were always available to answer my questions and provided clear, concise explanations of the legal processes involved. Their attention to detail and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for me was truly impressive. Throughout the entire process, I felt supported and confident in their abilities. Erin's knowledge of family law and her strategic approach to my case made all the difference. I highly recommend Russell Family Law & Litigation to anyone in need of legal assistance in family matters. They are a top-notch team that genuinely cares about their clients.

I had a horrible experience working with Ashley Pollard and the paralegals, in particular Alyssa Daras here at Russell Family Law. My case was in regard to child custody. I am not at all claiming to understand this process as this is my first time ever going to court, but from the plaintiff's perspective, Ashley did not fight for me. To me it seemed to be lack of experience and 'a just roll over attitude'. Ashley, created the line of questioning and planned to only put me on the stand, giving the father a chance to berate me in court. Ashley did not object to any of the invasive questions he asked about my weight and breastfeeding, because she "could tell he was getting on the judges nerves". But it was humiliating for me. There should have been the opportunity to put him on the stand to provide the judge an understanding of his lack of responsibility and initiative. Hiring a lawyer I entrusted that I wouldn't need that foresight. But in hindsight I think that would have helped. There were moments where I had felt there could have been a valuable rebuttal, that this 50/50 ruling was based on a what-if statement. The basis of the ruling is that he finds himself his own place, even continuing the case to see if he does. Come to the follow up hearing, him saying he was waiting for acceptance from an apartment was good enough for the judge to grant 50/50. Come present day he still has not move to Wilmington! Ashley did not ask the he require proof. I would think that this is something we should have insisted on. After the ruling I wanted to express my discontent, I was met with trite and defensive responses from Alyssa Daras. Ashley did not speak to me after. They were not open to discussing my concerns, and only said if I am not happy with the outcome then I can withdraw. They gaslit me into thinking the verdict was "exact arrangement" I asked for, but it was far from it. Alyssa was also not afraid of letting me know, how many times Ashley 'revised my orders'. I believe it’s crucial to have an open dialogue, especially since this is my first experience in court. I’d like to ensure that all aspects of the case are adequately represented. I shouldn't be shamed for how many times I communicate with my lawyer. I will forever tell my story and will never recommend Russell Family Law.

It is almost certain that when people seek family law legal counsel that significant pain is involved as well as various risks of bad outcomes. I am in the midst of my journey and wanted to share that I feel fortunate that I found Erin & her team. I have felt very supported from the first meeting and am confident that I am well represented. This stuff ain't easy, but I am thankful to have connected with Erin and her team.

I hired the Russell Family Law & Litigation after having another lawyer for 3 years. Once I hired Erin she got my case done in 4 months. I wish I had hired her sooner. She is a no nonsense lawyer. She doesn't deal with the petty back and forth mess. If you explain what you want she knows how to go after that and get what you want. My only regret was not finding her firm sooner. Here is a little background knowledge on my case to those who may find themselves in similar situations. My ex husband and I had a notarized legal separation agreement to which carried on past the divorce. I wanted to have that turned into an actual consent order and update the child support numbers. During this the grandparents intervened for time with the kids (mind you they were already getting their sons time if he wanted them too). Ideally what this was doing was delaying the case so it would be longer that my ex husband didn't have to pay the updated child support numbers. It should have been the easiest case for lawyers. It basically ended up getting a little crazy because my ex husbands mother wanted to get in the middle of us co-parenting and stir drama. I will add this case did NOT have any drugs or abuse issues. We are both working parents with decent jobs. Essentially, the outcome was better than what I wanted it to be which is basically the same as the legal separation notarized document and updated child support numbers with the addition of the grandparents only getting their sons time if he allows it and they have to come get the kids and drop them back off from their primary home.

Erin is compassionate to the issues with her clients and is a strong and powerful woman in helping them! She does what needs to be done that is in our best interest! Her and her staff are kind and professional, responding in timely manners. They were a strength for me in going through my divorce and encouraged me to do the tough thing when it was necessary to help get me through it while still staying true to my values. And when everything was said and done they all were my cheerleaders in moving forward! I highly recommend this team for your family law needs! Like they reminded me, this process is a marathon, not a sprint, so be patient and they will do everything they can to help you! Thank you to Erin, Alyssa, Kenna, and everyone on the team for helping me through this tough situation!
