Hired for a simple 20 minute virtual court session, spoke one word exactly, left her computer three times to work on other cases causing the judge to roll his eyes and waste tons waiting for her return. Most important! After three months delaying the requested fee itinerary for the $1000.00 retainer, she illegally added multiple unperformed fees totaling $1010.00. She did this deliberately to prevent upholding her own client rule stated on her site that any unused retainer payments will be refunded. During a personal live phone conversation with Toni Russo, I needed to prove more than once her negligence in fiduciary role I paid her for, proving she worked no more than exactly 12 minutes. She refunded me $500.00 and has been sending non stop bills accumulating interest based on the $10.00 she conjured up illegally. Currently i am working with the NJ Office of Attorney Ethics and US Bar Assiciation. Do NOT communicate with Toni Anne Russo on any matter!!

I wanted to work with her partner but was assigned to her. She was off putting, and I felt like she was not representing me for what I needed. As a result, I found another lawyer.

Unfortunately I was too deep into the process to switch attorneys. I physically handled and negotiated my case. Made copies, provided responses to other attorneys because Russo did not reply timely. The responses that were provided by the firm had another clients information. At one point I was emailed another clients entire divorce settlement. I was also mailed a copy of the same parties personal information. She drags everything out as long as possible to keep collecting, review your bills carefully as I found over $1K in discrepancies for meetings or phone calls which never took place. I was billed for services performed by the paralegal (Amanda) where they tried to attach the attorneys hourly rate. Overall terrible experience, other attorneys do not respect her which was evident.

First I would like to say that I made the right choice when I hire Toni Ann as my lawyer. Her professionalism and knowledge was exemplary. She went above and beyond knowing that this was a very emotional and difficult situation for me. She new the longer this would have gone on the harder it would have been for me. Thank you for getting this done in an efficient and timely manner. Also I would like to thank you for your caring heart.

I found Ms Russo on an internet search. Best thing I ever did. Not only was is she knowledgeable but really put her heart with my divorce she kept me calm. There’s other choice you can make, for all legal matters. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Ok, first off I have to say the professionalism of Toni Ann and Phillip shows itself immediately. Toni Ann's dedication is unlike any I've ever seen. I have had experience with other attorneys and never had I seen such determination. Toni Ann & Phillip were always on call or returned calls immediately which was also very important to us in our dire time. We got the results we sought & that was definitely all owed to Toni Ann's knowledge, passion & her unparalleled fight because ultimately she really CARES! I hope I don't need an attorney, but if I ever do I know to call the Law Offices of Toni Ann Russo.

Fantastic when it comes down to Strategic strategies and how to organize a case for a BIG WIN. she’s very polite, professional, she’s the go to attorney if your looking for someone who actually cares about you best interest. She gained my trust in all aspects and she’s worth every last penny. AMAZING DEFENSE/WIN

The law office of Toni Ann Russo handled my DV and custody case and this law firm is amazing. We won our case flat out. It was a team effort with Toni and Philip and if you want results you need to hire this law A plus.

Strong and knowledgeable She gets results Great at digging into the facts and then presenting Convenient location and easy parking Answers her own phone after hours

I went to court as “Pro Se” which was a big NO NO then I came to the office of Toni Ann Russo and worked with Phillip Petrullo for “HELP”. Philip was very knowledgeable of the mistakes I made when dealing with my case and before I sought legal counsel. Noticing how Phillip and Ms. Russo communicated on steps to mend errors I made the stress I was having began to ease off. When it was time to appear in court I received the verdict I was initially seeking. This office was a blessing to me and got the job done I recommend them and would surely use them again because I am NO Lawyer.

With little to no warning recently, I was forced to initiate a very complicated and contested custody proceeding for the protection of a family member. It was great luck that I found Ms. Russo and her team. I had no idea how to anticipate the challenges that an out of state jurisdiction custody case would have. From the moment that I spoke to Ms Russo on an 8 PM call one evening, I knew that I had found a compassionate lawyer who knew the laws, could confidently give me my options, and who would stick with me through the very end as if she were fighting her own personal case. I drove to New Jersey the next day and Ms. Russo and her team worked diligently into the night to prepare a solid case. Although the chances of me being awarded any custody seemed slim given the law leaning so heavily on parental rights, I was actually given sole legal and physical custody. A few weeks later when I was hit with a motion challenging my order, Miss Russo once again stood right by my side through the entire process, her staff worked so hard for me, and always worked to get my questions answered and even spent their own time keeping me calm when the emotions of my case got the best of me! The motion was denied. Without the commitment that Miss Russo put into my case, I'm not sure what the outcome would have been, as my case was very complicated, and took a great deal of expertise. At no time have I felt nickel and dimed, and at no time did I feel anything but respected. Her compassion and true desire to protect my young family member will never be forgotten. Toni has integrity and truly respects the law and the judges too and if you've ever been to court, you know the importance of having an attorney who will fight for you, but also shows respect for those in power to make decisions. She does this in and out of the courtroom. I admire her tenacity, energy and drive, and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a committed and serious lawyer who does not enter the courtroom with an attitude of defeat, but only with every intention for a positive outcome for her clients. There are not enough stars to rate how highly I think of Toni Russo and her entire Staff!!

I am proud to be able to call Toni Ann Russo my lawyer. Mrs Russo and her dedicated team are wonderful and it was such an honor to have them as my representation. She is a dedicated, efficient,professionals and trustworthy person ; which is extremely hard to come by. As a male I knew fighting for my children in court wouldn't be easy. Mrs Russo and her team made it easier to get my point across and have the court hear what I had to say. Anyone looking for an amazing lawyer and someone that will be on their side every step of the way should contact Mrs Russo and her team.
