Russell Family Law & Litigation

Erin is only in for money !!
She’s a money grabbing attorney!!! day I met her and her paralegal-and then she wanted another Paralegal of hers to sit in. I told her ones enough! I was trying to file a separation from my husband.
Erin makes you think that she’s going do all this for you and makes it all sound soooo good…
NOT!! At the time I Was taking care of my sick daughter and I was under a lot of stress my daughter which she had cancer and passed away last year at the age of 38.
Erin was NO help at all!! In the legal department! She took my money and ran with it. All she wanted to do is try to litigate my case Because of our assets she thought a divorce would be better. And to just add more to her growing bank account to litigate the case.I did tell her that we would like to have a mediator. Her paralegal emailed me and said that my husband would need to have his own mediator in another room that he can’t mediate by himself which is not true In North Carolina. She would tell you what she was trying to do. Which was going nowhere. Only to benefit her completely she did not tell me the truth. She Made it sound so good as she walked out the office door after our initial visit. But, my case never even went anywhere! The only time Erin wrote me an email is when I asked her to send me a spreadsheet of the hours I had spent in her office. And she accuse me of saying all she wanted to do was the litigate our case.
There she did spoke the truth. She did.
If you try calling her, to speak with her on the phone. You only get to speak with her receptionist. She had my case for over a year. I Did have to put a hold for a couple weeks due to my daughter’s illness.
Erin never once returned my calls….!!
We never did have a phone conversation not once! Only her paralegal was the one sending me emails we only spoke twice on the phone.
Paralegal only called to let me know Erin wanted to meet again in her office. To hash over the same Conversations we had prior to ALL !! my other office visits…!!
If I had to give her any stars, it would be a big zero ! instead of a star.
She doesn’t deserve any stars. Don’t even think for a moment you want her as your attorney!!!
Find somebody that has qualifications.
Do your research. She talks big. But her outcome is in herself…! She took 10K as her retainer not to mention office visits $$ expense.
She still owes me money and never paid me back. Instead she dropped me with a certified letter because I didn’t want to come back to talk to her about the same thing all over again.Same story, just clocked her time.
While I was still her client at the time.
She had her New hired paralegal send an email to my husband which he was due back from out of state that day. The paralegal sends a email to my husband Divorce from Bed and Board. Which wasn’t even signed by a court order. It was blank? No signatures, or stamped or notarized. Just a email without signatures.
So, when My husband came back in town he comes to the house on a Sunday. Of course you can’t call my attorney she never gave me her cell number..just incase anything came up.
So my husband said,
“You going to call the cops!?
Nothing was signed, or legal?? I questioned that! Of course, I had to email that to her the next day tried to calling her office. There was no answer, or you get the receptionist.
No court order it was a blank email…?
No signatures, or stamped.
Absolutely unprofessional..
Her response to me:
(You Let him in!!) I thought she suppose to be an Attorney??
Have all documents signed and sealed.
The supposedly paper email was worthless!!
My husband and I still have it in our email.
It’s a big joke!! Telling you the TRUTH!
My husband even thought she was a Goof!
He said, what kind of attorney is she ?
He took my phone and wrote her a email.
That she should give me back what she owes me!! Or even half! No GO she pocketed all.
Her paralegal emails me back and said to me I signed the papers at first for her to represent me… she represented “only herself”! Please…! Do yourselves a favor!
Find a qualified, legal professional not them!!

She’s a waste of money and time. Do not go to this woman’s practice. She will let you down every time

Hiring and working with Erin Russell and her team was the best decision I made. Erin listens. She is thorough and she puts in real work. Having her to help me gave me so much peace of mind in an otherwise stressful situation. I will be forever grateful to Erin for all the good she did for me and my family. She really is the absolute best there is.
