      He took what I was given and ran with it. Nothing but success, happiness, and gratefulness when it all came to an end! You will NOT be let down!! If I could give a 10-star rating, he’d definitely have it!!

      "He Never Failed to Impress"
      He has never failed to impress. I believe his experience as a former attorney prosecuting cases gives him extensive knowledge to defend the toughest case. I am most impressed with his professionalism, promptness, and dedication.
      - Donna S.
      Called the McCormick office in trouble, with my freedom on the line. Russell answered the phone himself and confirmed he took on my type of cases. He took my information down and we scheduled a consultation. When I arrived for my consultation, he already had the information about my case,and a plan to come to my defense, already in tow! That made me confident in hiring Russell. However, my case had gotten thrown out (unbeknownst to me) and even though I paid the retainers fee, he sent me a refund.In reality he could have kept it. That right there is why he'll forever be my go to attorney if I needed one. Ready to defend and honest when need be. I appreciate him and Ms Dorothy and highly recommend. Thanks again!

      "Highly recommend Russell McCormick."
      Highly recommend Russell McCormick. Upon calling he immediately went to work on my case. He clearly communicated the process and walked me through any questions I had. He was also able to get my sentencing talked down and made the process as painless as it could be. I am so glad he was referred to me!
