Lou has taken our corporate needs to heart and represented us well. I highly recommend him for any small or medium-sized company in need of legal corporate counsel.

Lou was extremely professional, knowledgeable and more importantly thorough in handling our case and negotiating a final settlement in our favor.

I hired Lou to collect a debt from a company that had failed to pay me for more than two years. With his help I was finally able to get a substantial reaction from the company and we were able to negotiate a payment plan in which I will be paid in full.

I hired Louis to review a contract that I was signing to join an incubator type company to get my business moving. He carefully read the contract and pointed out everything I needed to be aware of before I made the final decision to sign. Louis is a great lawyer and helped me understand exactly what I should be getting out of the program I joined. I would highly recommend Louis to anyone looking for business legal work.

I have also used Lou for my legal work and have been more than happy with him. He is very professional and has a real understanding of the law. Lou is your guy if you have or will have contractual issues, so that you don’t find yourself in trouble down the road. He has an ease in explaining things which made me feel comfortable with my decisions. I highly recommend Russo Law.

I retained Lou to help settle a business divorce for an extremely small entity. He is a consummate professional that treated my tiny matter with as much seriousness as I would have expected for the largest settlement proceedings. He is responsive, knowledge, and provided honest advice even when it would have been easier to tell me what I wanted to hear. Most importantly, he settled my case for 30x more than was initially offered. I would recommend him to absolutely anyone.
