A brief personal note from Russell:
“One of my favorite parts of practicing law is interacting with clients from different backgrounds and striving to meet everyone at their level, whatever it may be. It is important to me that my clients always feel like they are heard and understood and that they feel at ease knowing that their legal needs are taken care of. “
Outside of the office, Russell enjoys rooting for LSU, Tulane, and Saints football, playing golf, traveling, and spending leisure time with his wife, Meg, their cat Ralphie, and dogs Lucy & Daisy.
