Reviews
I have worked with Attorney Weddell many times and always found him to be thoughtful, hard working, dedicated, communicative and focused on the success of the case. I highly recommend his services.
Russell was extremely difficult to get in contact with. He would continuously say that he’d call back in a day or two and then after several weeks I’d have to contact him. His response was always “sorry about that” and then it would happen again. Half of my retainer was used up on 2 minute phone calls where absolutely nothing was achieved. I would have rather spent a lot more money on an attorney that actually kept his word and was responsive. Long story short, I still have no court date and I’m out a lot of money. Thanks for nothing Russell.
