“Russell recently worked on my estate planning documents including my will, medical power of attorney, etc. He made sure I understood each of the documents very clearly and that they 100% matched my wishes before executing everything.”

Teresa LewisAustin, TX

“Russell is awesome! My wife was on hospital bed-rest with our first child and we really wanted to get our estate planning documents in place before his birth. Russell not only came to the hospital to walk us through creating our documents, he returned to the hospital with a notary just days later for an execution ceremony. Russell is a great attorney with tons of knowledge...”

Nick ShiffertAustin, TX

“Russell was very easy to work with and always kept me informed. He handled everything in a very sufficient and timely manner. Thanks to his knowledge and persistence, we were able to settle the lawsuit effectively. Also a very down-to-earth guy and easy to talk to.”

Randall LopezAustin, TX

“Russell completed fairly complex business documents for the transfer of our company. He was thorough, accurate and timely. I can not write enough as to how pleased I was with his service and expertise.”

Don RichieAustin, TX

“Russell assisted with a case where our landlord had been foreclosed on, and we were being asked to pay several different parties. He was very responsive and helpful in getting us out of our current lease. We were able to get out of that lease, and also get 23 free days to move to our new apartment. Our case wasn't a focus of Russell's, but he was very proactive in finding out the details around our situation and continued until he was able to resolve our issues.”

Drew GibbsCarlson Law Firm

“Litigation is in and of itself unpleasant, but Russell Frost’s professionalism and thoroughness of representation coupled with calmness and even humor, made my experience as pleasant as it could possibly be. He is down to earth and very easy to work and did a wonderful job of explaining each step of the process as the litigation moved along. He has confidence without the arrogance, unlike many other attorneys. I highly recommend Russell Frost and would definitely use his services again!”
