RUSSELL&HILL GOT MY DISABILITY AFTER I WAS TURNED DOWN. THEY ARE THE BEST. I was denied when I filed by myself and the second time was thru russellandhill.com and I received my disability! They are awesome! read more

This is a ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE LAW FIRM!! We are filing complaints to the Bar association. They lied about their expertise. We had to fire them within 10 days. They lied about there availability. Never once took our call after the took or 10k retainer. They never produced any agreement whatsoever about their service. After witnessing then lie to the Judge we took them to a breakout session and confronted them with facts. Cory the attorney we unfortunately were stuck with was an unprepared, arrogant mess. STAY AWAY FROM THESE UNETHICAL, DISHONEST FIRM. Side note we were able to find quality attorneys that resolved our case and are helping us with the complaint in hopes of reclaiming $7900 dollars they stole claiming work that never happened! read more

I cannot recommend Dustin and Jade enough! I was at one of the lowest points in my life, facing a complicated cross DV petitions that could have potentially put my career and future at risk. I was frantically searching for a lawyer when Dustin reached out without any hesitation --on a Sunday afternoon! That alone showed me how dedicated he is. From the start, Dustin was honest and straightforward. He never gave me false hope, but instead clearly explained what to expect and helped me prepare every step of the way. His legal expertise and strategic guidance made all the difference. He and Jade were incredibly responsive, professional, and never wasted time or money. They focused on what mattered and worked efficiently to get the outcome I desperately needed. Thanks to them, my name was cleared and justice was served. If you're looking for a legal team that cares, knows the law, and fights smart--this is it. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Eric Bessent was successful in helping me receive SSDI at the hearing stage. His pre trial arguments were strong and compelling enough that the judge awarded me a fully favorable decision without me even needing to testify. Have severe anxiety and many other issues. He's a great attorney very honest and transparent. My family and I really appreciate his efforts!!! He went above and beyond my expectations. Can't thank him enough read more

The first person I talked to was very nice. The second person Constance was extremely condescending and discouraging. She treated me like I was trying to fake my daughter's life long disability. Which is heavily documented throughout her medical history. I don't think she is competent or has the tableside manner to do her job. Zero compassion, respect or skills explaining what she continues to repeat over and over. I was completely confused by the call. She effectively attempted to make me feel stupid and I'm an educated medical professional. read more

10/28/25 Spoke to Eric yesterday inquiring about possibly filing for SSDI or SSI. He told me to call the Social Security Administrators office and get two questions answered. I did call and got the answers which pertained to my work credits and my last date insured. The Social Security agent told me it was a major red flag that the lawyer wasn't calling himself. I get the information and call back Eric to let him know I have enough credits and the date he needed to get started in the process of filing. I told Eric that the Social Security agent said it was a red flag that Eric didn't call himself. Eric made his excuses. Eric then began asking me questions essentially about what proof I have to back up my case. I was beginning to feel like I was going to have to defend myself against my own lawyer. I told him yes I have proof in my medical records and in notes from my physical therapist. I told him if I did not have proof I wouldn't try to hire a lawyer. He became defensive and said I spoke over him. I asked him if he'd like to email his questions? He said ,"No". He explained these are the questions Social Security will ask me. I told him I am willing to fight this in court and I need someone willing to fight with me. I understand he needs proof, as my lawyer it would be his job to get the proof from my medical records. I felt like he was looking for a guaranteed win. He wanted me to hand him a well researched case with all the proof necessary to win so he could take his cut. He began telling me that some doctors don't believe my possible condition which makes me prone to joint injury is real. I'm already battling with doctors trying to get medical tests required to prove my condition. I do have proof of my permanent back and pelvic injury which has gotten worse over the last 14 years. I have a permanent handicap placard. This is the fight of my life. I have a dynamic condition and my symptoms vary day to day and hour to hour. I need a pit bull of a lawyer not a passive guy who wants to put me on trial before we even begin. I guess that's how you win, by only entering the boxing ring if the stakes are stacked in your favor. read more

Dustin represented me in a false assualt charge that renton wa trying to convict of even with home video provided , went on over a year but also found out there was no 911 call sent to court that I made and body cam footage was missing , he kept demanding it be dismissed after continueses and funnily fot it dismissed. So happy that I hired them . I was ready to got to jury trial , but thankfully he got it dimmed, I highly recommend them if in a bind . read more

Spoke with Jade the paralegal at Russell and Hill first impression was super responsive and good listener. I have a pretty crazy ticket case going right now and she instantly with no hesitation was ready to help ! Due to this I will be going with Russell and Hill! read more

Dustin was amazing representation for my case. He was able to walk me through the process and what to expect. Made what I had anticipated to be an awful experience with the court system to a positive outcome. Multiple times when I had needed just a quick reminder or someone to listen about the case again, Jade and Dustin made sure they were available for support. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for stress free support with any case. A few more positives from my experience working with Dustin would have been the verbal representation of me in Court at my Deposition Hearing, truly making me feel heard and seen for who I am. Jade and Dustin were understanding enough to offer me a payment plan that worked, in order for me to still pay my student loans. Thank you again to them both and if you get Dustin on your team representing you, know that you are in great hands! read more

I would highly recommend R&H to handle your case! I was sideswiped by another vehicle that ran a red light. Between my totaled vehicle, medical needs, and dealing with insurance companies, I wasn't sure how to navigate the situation both medically and being made whole financially over the losses from the crash, plus the financial impact on my life for months after the crash. R&H helped me with everything. Even the couple things that were my own responsibility to handle, they still offered me amazing guidance taking a huge weight off my shoulders. Not only did they fight for the settlement I expected, they exceeded it! I have all the confidence that this office is going to help guide you, and bring you the best outcome possible for your situation. Furthermore, everybody at this office is extremely polite, patient, and treats you with empathy / understanding. Thank you so much to Jaclyn, Dean, and everybody else at Russel & Hill! read more

Dustin was great and held my hand every step of the way. He championed me to be patient with the process and in turn, he was patient with me and my questions. This was my first brush up with the law and I trusted the system we were working with and got the result I wanted! I recommend Dustin for your legal needs. read more

Russell and Hill helped through my SSI application course. They were kind and professional throughout the entire process. I could rely on their communication to me to be timely and most importantly efficient. I definitely will recommend Russell and Hill to my family and friends for excellent legal advice and expertise. read more

Nothing but AMAZING things to say about the care and impeccable expertise that Russell & Hill, PLLC provided to me. I highly recommend their services. I have never felt more taken care of in a time of need. I had the opportunity and privilege of working with Jim Hill and his wonderful paralegal, Irena Savchenko. I was in a car accident Summer 2020, rear-ended while fully stopped at a light; the driver hadn't noticed traffic was stopped and consequently, slammed into me. The at fault party had insurance, but I quickly learned that that would only go so far. I was injured, in pain, had a concussion and couldn't work for some time. Much less care for my young son to the level pre-accident. My treatment plan was extensive and it being during the pandemic, was extra demanding in a risky environment between multiple weekly treatment appointments that went on for months. The at fault party's insurance company was a complete NIGHTMARE to work with. We knew we needed help when they were unwilling to cover more than the bare minimum towards care. From the time that my family hired R+H, we were reassured and well informed every step of the way. They collectively had my best interest at heart and more than advocated for me throughout the entire process. Response time was impressive and all of the time and genuine effort given to us and FOR us was truly amazing. I cannot thank them enough. Within a year's time, my medical bills were taken care of and a very generous settlement amount was reached. Hallelujah! I am TRULY so thankful -- Jim, Irena -- thank you for everything. Could not have done any of this without you. Forever grateful for your help. read more

This firm couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper sack! They actually delayed the second half of my back pay by more than 10 months by asking social security to investigate why they held back so much in attorney fees. They could not just ask for their amount then let them pay me the rest! Redicules! After i did all of the work, not sure what they did to be honest. Even at the hearing with a judge, my representative sounded amateurish and embarrassing. After the expert witness found a ruling in my favor, the rep asked me for more testimony. This is by the way after my case had been passed around like a pack of smokes. I counted at least 4 different reps that were given my folder, which I was also asked numerous times about information that they already had. The just are too lazy to put any real work in and to be clear, the way social security works is deny...deny....till they get a law firm involved then...OK, we approve your claim for disability. Social securities own Dr. That I had to see....twice, recommended approval for disability, but I was denied twice, and enter this firm. It's a rigged system and these people basically get $7,200 for? Unreal!!! Glad it's finally over! Thanx Russell and hill for making everything over complicated and delaying payment 11 months​ read more

I spent 7 years waiting for mediation! Brandon never ever gave up on me and this firm! Never once did i question Brandon' advice. Thank to all of Russell and Hill for giving me closure! read more

Nicole and John at Russell & Hill did a fantastic job helping my mother after her auto accident. They worked diligently to make sure she was awarded as much as possible to compensate her for the injuries she sustained. The fee they charged compared to the service they provided was well worth it. They kept her updated throughout and listened to all of our questions and concerns regarding the insurance claims. I would highly recommend this firm. read more

This is my opinion of Russell and Hill after they filed a new claim for my adult son's disability. This was after I fought for him in Court for ten years to get his disability under or original claim. During the course of that claim he had three or four different attorneys assigned to his case. I tried to talk with them, but they knew what they were doing, none really ask me anything about him. The last one I talked to disrespected me by saying my god sarcastically under his breath, because he did not want to waste his valuable time talking to me about my son. My son suffers from MD, for which there is no treatment, degenerative disc disease, congestive heart failure which requires 10 different medications or he dies, early stage diabetes and sleep apnea. His MD causes muscle weakness which gets worse with use. It also causes pain as well, as does his back issue. He cannot hold a job due to his Residual Functional Test being limiting by restricting him to 3 or 4 breaks daily of 15 minutes every 2 hours and walking for ten minutes several times a day. The Residual Functional Test also states he would be missing work for more than 4 days per month. He has memory issues, as a side effect of his medication and also diarrhea on a consistent basis, which is also a result of medication. No business will accommodate those restrictions. This is what the Vocational Expert stated at our first hearing 11 years ago. I have the transcript to prove it. I originally thought Russell and Hill were different from other attorneys, such as the one that dropped my son and would not appeal our first claim 11 years ago because she thought we had won. After that No attorney would take the case, so I had to do it for 10 years until I missed a filing deadline because I did not understand the electronic filing system on Pacer and thought I filed the pleading when it had not done so. Since Russell and Hill do not go to Federal Court after the Appeals Council denies your claim, as was done here you must find another firm or attorney to go to Federal Court. Been there done that and it is virtually impossible. I could not find one so I doubt anyone else can either. I can not in good faith recommend this law firm. Honestly, I don't of any law firm I would recommend. Thank you for your time in reading this Review I hope it helps. The system just is not fair. read more

Dustin did a fantastic job for me, I highly recommend him. He always return my phone calls and answered my questions

Nicole and Meliss were very compassionate and understanding. I appreciate their communication with me about the process and steps that were involved. read more

My spouse had been fighting with Social Security for about 5 years we finally called Russell and Hill , SSI had denied us three times. With that one call they did all the rest. With covid we were able to have our hearing on the phone and within two weeks after the hearing we had our settlement deposited in the bank. None of this would have happened without the experts at R & H. We would like to thank Jacqueline for all the support and work she did with our case. I recommend R & H to anyone needing help with their SSI. Just don't wait so long. read more

Dustin Burk was beyond my expectations. When I was arrested I was mortified. I had never been in legal trouble before. I had no idea what to expect. He was kind and caring and the communication was amazing. I had a set goal. An outcome that was highly unlikely that I wanted. Dustin did not quit. He listened to the facts I presented to him and used the information that he could. Sometimes you feel like you are not heard by an attorney and with Dustin, this is not the case. He persevered and I got the outcome I wanted and more! The judge told me to "forget this ever happened and move on" and thanks to Dustin that is exactly what I am doing. read more

I was in an auto accident and these guys were amazing at what they do. They got me what seem like an amazing settlement compared to pervious settlement by insurance. read more

I am completely satisfied with Russel & Hill. I got the settlement i was hoping for, communication was great and I didn't have to worry about anything, they got the job done. read more

Dustin is a great attorney. Got me out of some legal troubles and I was really pleased with the outcome!

I had a good experience with Tammy at Russell and Hill. She worked with me for over a year to get a settlement on a car accident. I was able to sit back and let her do the work. The only small criticism I have is that over the months, on occasion, it felt like my case might have been put on a back burner as I didn't always get an update regularly, and once or twice was asked for a piece of information I had already provided earlier. This didn't bother me, but it might others so I thought I'd mention it. She was always quick to respond when I would ask for an update. I feel that she worked hard to get the best settlement she could for me. read more

I was represented in my disability hearing by Eric Bessent of Russell and Hill Law Firm. Whenever I had questions or concerns Eric called me back promptly. He helped me get ready for the hearing and was very sweet and professional. It felt like he didn't judge me because of my disability and I felt very comfortable. He took care of everything and we won my disability! Thanks Eric! read more

Isabella was so very prompt on my case with Social Security Disability. Without her I would not of won. I highly recommend her with Russell & Hill. She is one super nice individual as well and professional. Don't do your case by yourself let the Professionals do it for you, you will be most certain to win. read more

I believe that my lawyer Brandon Batchelor was neglectful of my case and worked against me with lies and trickery. My lawyer didn't do the right thing when he said it was uncircumstantial when I told him the other sides lawyer asked me many questions on the phone without indentifying herself as the oppositions lawyer. My lawyer talked to me about He did not do the  my case possibly going to court even though he knew that it would take at least $10,000 to bring my case to court. Before I was injured I could have afforded the legal system, but because I almost was killed trying to save two other peoples lives, due to the negligence of Buzz Inn Steakhouse; now I am losing everything I built up over the years. After 10 years of being a foster/adoptive parent I could finally afford my own home, now I am slowly losing it. Now my lawyer new this and so this the insurance giant Nationwide (with the help of a morally questionable corporate lawyer, Karen Berger), who decided to take advantage of the fact that they knew I would not be able to afford court, then decided to steamroll me and offered me an insult of a settlement that will not help me deal with all my disabilities due to this brutal attack. I was purposely ambushed by my own lawyer for this meeting where they planned to manipulate me into this position. My lawyer literally told me the day before the meeting about the meeting so that I would not have time to ask him questions. He did not even meet with me beforehand to make a plan. It seems the plan was already made by other my lawyer and the other lawyer. I question who my lawyer was working for. He did not investigate and compile evidence for a case to be able to go to court. Time sensitive evidence that was obviously harder to get, if not impossible as time went on. He went from telling me my case was worth at least $750,000 to trying to get me to settle for practically nothing, with no explanation as to what changed. He did not even read the settlement contract that he was forcing me to sign with threats. The contract had a paragraph that stated Medicare was not and never will be used for my care. As he dealt with all my billing, he knew this was not the case. It seems he ether didn't read the contract that he was forcing me to sign or wanted me to sign a false statement. They did not do anything with my case for over a year. They refused to inform me with updates. The only information they ever told me about the work they have done on my case was that they investigated the people I was with at the Buzz Inn Steakhouse. They refused to contact other witnesses that spoke of how scared they were. The testimony of the waitresses was very important to show liability, but they refused to speak to the waitress that said that the company wouldn't let them or the management question customers in any way. (She mention this to the lady that was threatened. She also came to me when I was being taken away in the ambulance and said "I am so sorry that this happened to you. These people were causing trouble ALL DAY"). The restaurant allowed chaos to ensue for hours as if they had no responsibility for public safety in their public establishment. I had to contact my lawyers to remind them that the statute of limitations date to sue the negligent restaurant. At this time they asked me to their offices and let me know that they wanted to drop my case, even though statute of limitations was only a few days away. As if it was set up a purposeful sabotage. My lawyers did not gather the needed evidence for a case, apparently because they never planned on it going to court. They waited until statute of limitation dates to do the least for my case by law and inform me of things so that I would not be able to have other choices. I feel I was put on the back burner by the very people I paid to represent me, so they could get a income coming in without much work. They can sit back and wait for any settlement, whether if it leaves their clients destitute due to the case mismanagement or not. I cannot afford to pay for heat in my home that I am struggling not to lose everything I have worked so hard for over the years, all because I tried to save two peoples lives in an unruly establishment. You would think that these lawyers would take the case on pro-bono since I could not afford the legal system or any sense of justice; instead I was a quick cheap buck throw away case. IF YOU HAVE TO AFFORD JUSTICE, IT IS NOT JUSTICE My lawyer competed with three other law firms to get my case. They told me that they would benefit my case the best because one of the owners of the firm lived next door to the little old lady that I saved. They also stated that they already had done several cases already against the restaurant and so they could use that information for my case. Information on the restaurant that allowed chaos to ensue for hours as if they had no responsibility for public safety in their public establishment. He promised me if I let read more

Dustin Burk handled my protracted case with skill every step of the way. He was very insightful with any questions I had and was able to provide a WAY more favorable outcome than I could have imagined. I would not hesitate to recommend him and will. read more

Filing for Social Security Disability is a daunting and demoralizing task. The rules are complex and the process is complicated. Although we began the process without representation it soon became clear that we were in over our heads and lacked the information necessary to provide the proper documentation. And, of course, we were initially denied. I found the Law Offices of Russell & Hill online. Calling them and making an appointment was essentially a "leap of faith". It was the best decision we ever made. The best decision the law office made on our behalf was assigning our case to Jaclyn Gaddy. By the time we first met with Jaclyn (after she had received several years worth of medical records), she was not only familiar with the particulars of our medical records, she had a clear understanding of even the minutiae, those endless and seemingly small or insignificant incidents/issues that, taken together, meaningfully contribute to understanding the whole medical picture. She knew them and she understood their impacts. Jaclyn walked us through the hearing process and provided excellent guidance with respect to issues that she believed the judge would focus upon (and which were, in fact, precisely the issues the judge focused upon). She was professional, prepared and always compassionate. Disability hearings are nerve wracking, they feel adversarial and hostile, and applicants, who by definition are sick and/or injured, must present their case comprehensively with clarity, focus, and credibility. It is an overwhelming expectation that requires the help of an excellent attorney. Our receipt today of a fully favorable decision only reinforces that you cannot do better than Jaclyn Gaddy. Thank you Jaclyn. read more

I can't say nothing but good things about Russell & Hill, PLLC. I've had the opportunity to work with Mr. Hill and Mr. Russell and they are not only great attorneys but also great human beings! They are the best attorneys you can find and I highly recommend their services! Matt Russell - Thank you very much for everything you've done in the past for me and all the help that your law firm continues to offer me. I'm truly thankful! Jim Hill - Thank you very much for everything and specially for helping me with my MVA claim. The outcome was great thanks to your great work! Dustin Burk - Thank you very much for helping my husband in his case. You were great and we are very thankful! read more

My mother and I were rear-ended at a stoplight. Dealing with the insurances on our own was a nightmare. They were refusing to pay for much needed medical care. Russell & Hill's lawyers and staff helped us tremendously. Not only did we get our bills paid, but we received a nice cash settlement as well. read more

My social security case was completely lost due to incompetence. After I lost my disability hearing I went to my doctors office to find out and try to get more proof of how long I had been unable to work due to chronic pain and dizzy spells. When I asked the records department if I could get copies of all documents going back to 2012 when I could no longer physically work any more is when I found out that my attorney had only gone back in my records two years. Only two years!! No wonder they didn't win my case! Going back only two years was barely showing how long I had been unable work and all the tests and procedures that I had done prior to the two years. So when it came time I could appeal and possibly receive up to $60,000 the attorney dropped my case because of past due child support in the amount of $19,000. I have now since been cleared of all back owed support and no longer able to appeal my case because the attorney was worried they wouldn't get paid. I was looking at $60,000 that could have changed my life forever. Even if child support was taken it still would have been a sizable amount that they could have had a share of $40,000. I am now only receiving a bare minimum amount of $529 a month and barely surviving. If you want a law office that cares about you and your future I would certainly look somewhere else. read more

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME to read my review!!!! Nov 13, 2014 my boyfriend and I were on our way to the store. It's 1:00 pm. All of a sudden a woman blows through a stop sign causing me to t-bone her Jeep Cherokee. I was in an 05 Hyundai Tuscon. No doubt my car was a total as the entire front end was demolished!!! Thankfully, they're were witnesses and my boyfriend and I took tons of photo's. It was 33° that day. It took an hour for police to respond and another hour for a tow truck. We've been shivering cold this entire time. Of course the adrenaline was pounding through our veins. We finally got home about 5 pm. What do we do now?? By the time we got home and collected, we had already notified my insurance and done the necessaries. The pain started to present itself. My neck was getting very bad as was my boyfriend's. A very large bruise on my left leg was throbbing. That "uh oh" moment became really evident. Being that my Dad was an attorney, he was highly recommending to call an attorney NOW!!!! We called another attorney that was well known in our area. They basically blew us off. We called Russell&Hill. They had a representative at our house the next day. She was incredible!!! Although I had every possible amount of insurance imaginable, it became very clear that although I had the "best coverage," and had been with the same company for almost 20 year's, my best interest was not their concern. This wasn't going to be an easy process. The other driver was 100% at fault!!! Definitely no doubt about that!! Although we had stellar insurance and I was NOT at fault, the best thing we would ever recommend, is GET LEGAL ADVICE!!! Call Russell&Hill!!!! Within 3 day's of the accident we were both able to breathe a huge sigh of relief. Geico was the insurance of the idiot who flipped my world upside down. They were blowing up my phone. My own insurance was calling. Everyone was wanting me to settle, sign and go away. It felt so good to be able to say " we have an attorney!!!" Here's their name and number. 8 months later, I'm now facing neck surgery. I've been seeing my Dr / Chiropractor/ Physical therapy almost this entire time. I had surgery in July. Fortunately, Russell&Hill had settled my boyfriend's claim in a very timely and very fair settlement. Lord knows my own insurance and Geico wanted to sweep him under the rug asap!!! He wasn't hurt nearly as bad as what happened to me. The amount Russell&Hill got for him was triple the amount Geico was offering. INCREDIBLE!!! How can this system be so broken? 1 year later. This is not a fast process!!! Without going into boring details, I live on a very fixed income. I ended up having to purchase an 04 Ford Explorer. Runs like a champ, but definitely a huge step backwards from my prior vehicle. Although my case was what I thought a "slam dunk," I quickly learned that there is no such thing. I knew my case was going to take a long time because of my surgery/ recovery etc. Honestly, this felt like it was never going to end. It seemed like forever!!!!!!!! Jessie was Matt Russell's paralegal. I'm not sure there are words to describe just how amazing she has been through out this entire time. I tried to just set back and wait for the long (very long) arm of Justice to do its thing. ANYTIME I had a question or concern, Jessie was on it!!! I would hear from Matt on some of the bigger issues. Matt has a great way of explaining things without leaving your head spinning. I'd never been in an accident in my life. This entire process was totally unknown ground for us. Matt and Jessie always made sure I was informed about every step during this time. I kind of made it a regular thing to check in with Jessie. Yes, I probably might have been a pest at times? Although Jessie says I haven't. It's not because they were lacking in communication. It's because I've never been through this and didn't realize how difficult the other insurance company was going to try and make it. But Matt said to me " this isn't going to be a fast process. Geico is a BIG insurer and they're going to pull out all the stops to give you the bare minimum!! We just aren't going to let that happen!! We will take this as far as necessary!!" We are 2 years (almost to the day) and we've won our case at the FULL policy limit. Fortunately, I had under insured motorist protection. (I didn't know this) But thankfully I did. If I hadn't had Russell&Hill in my corner, I'm not sure my own insurance would have ever shared that information with me. Incidentally, my insurance company (Oregon Mutual) cancelled me. Even though I'd been a very loyal customer for 20 year's. If you're in an accident and you've got any pain, call Russell&Hill immediately!!!! You won't be disappointed!!! I'm happy that I'm better and that this story ended with such amazing results!!!! THANK YOU Russell&Hill!!!!!! read more

I hired Dustin Burke to fight a vehicular assault charge (with DUI) I was facing. It was a very scary time needless to say, but Dustin made every effort to make sure that I was well informed of the situation and all possible outcomes. He was also very easy to get in touch with if I ever had any questions or concerns. He is very knowledgeable, friendly and positive. After only a couple of hearings he was able to strike a plea deal with the prosecutor and get my case down to a reckless driving which doesn't happen very often. Easily the best outcome I could have hoped for. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a criminal defense attorney. read more
