A long history of accomplishment

Our principal lawyer has been practicing law since 1957 and has headed our firm, the Law Offices of James M. Russ, P.A. since 1965. Our experience, our many notable cases and our dedication to clients allow us to accept even the most complex and difficult criminal matters. We handle fraud defense involving bank fraud, business fraud and embezzlement. We also defend clients against serious felony charges, such as drug charges, DUI manslaughter and sex crimes.

Dedicated to our clients

We know that many of our clients have never been involved with the criminal justice system before. It is a frightening and emotionally trying time for them. Our law firm is committed to supporting clients throughout the duration of their case, regardless of any prior criminal history they may have. In order to do this, we accept fewer cases than other many criminal defense law firms do. Because we have a lower case load, we are able to give clients the personal attention and assistance they need as they face criminal charges. If they require psychological services or evaluations, we make sure that they are referred to the correct providers. To make sure that our clients stay informed about the progress of their cases, we provide them with a private phone number that they can call anytime. We make it a goal to give our clients and their loved ones the attention and encouragement they need during a very trying time.
