Russell was recommended to me through a family friend. I was not disappointed with his services or his associate Alyssa Jankowski’s services. I worked with both of them & together they are an incredible team. Russell is straight forward, well experienced & no-nonsense. Alyssa is incredibly smart, articulate & very compassionate to an otherwise highly emotional situation. In dealing with my difficult custody case, they both helped me accomplish & fight the seemingly impossible battle I was fighting with nothing less then complete professionalism. I would highly, highly recommend both Russell & Alyssa as lawyers.

Russell and his colleagues updated our wills, health proxy's, etc. with ease. They were professional and extremely quick, despite working in a social distancing environment. Russell knows his stuff and is highly personable as well! Highly recommend them!

A friend referred me to Russell Schwartz after my divorce left me in a mess of a situation with a poor separation agreement and poor guidance from at least 3 prior attorneys. Atty Schwartz was the first attorney who gave me sound advice.... I trust his knowledge, experience and most importantly, honesty. You are in the best of hands with him and his staff.

I Am very pleased on how Alyssa and Russ are handing my family law/ divorce matters. They constantly produce great results when others fell short of my expectations.

My experience with Shwartz and Plante so far has been excellent. Russell and Alyssa both are professional, responsive, and extremely capable attorneys. They have been a tremendous asset for me while dealing with a very difficult case. Their work ethic and preparedness leading up to each hearing has paid dividends in the court room thus far. Aside from their legal proficiency, I can tell they genuinely care about the welfare of my family. My only regret is that I hadn’t hired them sooner and used someone less competent during my actual divorce.

Never in my life had I the need for legal assistance. But when the time came, having had the pleasure to retain the legal services at Schwartz & Plante in Worcester, MA....I can honestly say that I have never had a better experience than being in the capable hands of Russell Schwartz. He is completely professional, expedient, knowledgeable, timely, attentive and MOST of all incredibly talented. I would highly recommend the firm of Schwartz & Plante for ANY of your legal needs!

Russell approached my divorce it with a great deal of focus, skill, and finesse. Russell brought to my case years of experience that helped me understand the complicated process of divorce. Russell and his team were very organized and prepared in all of my care. I would highly recommend Russell to anyone looking for a highly intelligent and effective lawyer. I remain impressed with Russell and his team's effectiveness in dealings three years post-divorce.
