Kirshenbaum & Kirshenbaum did an exceptional job managing our automobile personal injury case. Chris Russo navigated us through the arduous legal process. His record keeping and the attention to detail was most impressive. He answered our questions with clear concise responses and offered his opinion when asked. Most of all we built a relationship that was more than client/attorney. We would not hesitate to use Chris Russo as our attorney.
I was advised to speak with Attorney Christopher Russo after a significant injury involving a neighbor's dog. I had never been involved in a legal procedure of this type and was quite reluctant. I made an appointment with Attorney Russo and after the initial meeting, felt much more at ease and made a decision to move forward. Attorney Russo kept in frequent contact with me throughout the legal process, keeping me up to date, listening carefully and patiently, answering all of my questions and reassuring me through every step. The judgment was decided in my favor and I am now able to pay for all of the necessary medical expenses. I am grateful Attorney Russo and his legal expertise as well as his personal warmth and kindness. Ellen T.
