Russell George Marlowe, PA

I hired Mr. Marlowe to help me protect my daughter from her abusive mother. My daughter's mother was charged with felony child abuse and contributing to the delinquency of a minor for giving my daughter illegal street drugs since my daughter was 12 years old. I sent Mr. Marlowe's office an email with the evidence needed to get my daughter home to safety, only the week before the hearing for my Motion for Temporary Emergency Custody. Mr. Marlowe's office never asked for this evidence, I sent it knowing the judge had to see something, I couldn't go in there unprepared and without evidence of the crime comitted. Had I not sent this evidence I would have had nothing to show the judge during our hearing. The evidence consisted of a video of my daughter using drugs with her mother, a picture taken by my daughter of my daughter's mother using drugs, attendance records of my daughter missing over 20 days of school while in her mother's care, text messages of my daughter's motherand text messages between my daughter and her mother with explicit verbiage of drug use. Mr. Marlowe did not use all the evidence I provided. Mr. Marlowe did not subpoena the deputy who took the report which consisted of a full confession from my daughter of the dangerous and intentional drug use. Mr. Marlowe never attempted to reach out to me before the hearing to discuss the court proceedings or how we would approach opposing counsel. I was blindsided by all the questions and the proceedings of the hearing because of Mr. Marlowe's inability to prepare for the hearing. I attended the hearing via teleconference. Mr. Marlowe did not attempt to be present during my hearing while my daughter's mother's counsel was sitting next to her during the proceedings. I have trouble describing how little I felt during the hearing, having retained counsel who obviously could not care less about me, my daughter, or the proceedings. It was shameful how apparent it was that Mr. Marlowe cared so little about the justice system and a courtroom. I attended the hearing from my home while Mr. Marlowe attended the hearing from his vacation home out of state (Mr. Marlowe owns a vacation home out of state which he was operating out of). I am aware of this because I have a family member who is a friend of Mr. Marlowe's who shared this information with me. When I originally hired Mr. Marlowe to represent me and get my daughter home and away from a dangerous and abusive situation, he did not think it prudent to share with me that he lives at his vacation home out of state for roughly eight months out of the year . During our hearing, Mr. Marlowe did not share with the court all of the evidence I had provided to his office. Mr. Marlowe did not share the text messages which consisted of pictures of the drugs, my then 12 year old daughter, and her mother were using together. During the the hearing, Mr. Marlowe rolled over at every objection made by opposing counsel. Mr. Marlowe did nothing to ensure my daughter came home to a safe environment. I was beyond embarrassed at Mr. Marlowe's obvious lack of professionalism and his apparent cavalier attitude toward a child living in an abusive home where she was being given drugs. I wasted over $3,500 on Mr. Marlowe's "services." Do not hire Mr. Marlowe to help you and your family. He is only interested in collecting your money from his vacation home out of state. You are doing yourself and your children a serious disservice by retaining Mr. Marlowe.

My mother and I have searched the best ways to be able to preserve her estate for when she needs to go to a nursing home. Russell's team went far beyond to accomplish everything we had to do, we paid and they instantly started working, even at an hour they were closed (much appreciated) all through the Google messenger on Google maps. Never had service done that way, and it has made me feel very secure to know I can trust them. I did not have any worries and they worked immediately, we set an appointment to get signatures for a notarized lady bird deed, which saved us a lot of money and time, and even had the deed recorded for us. Everyone else was charging around the same if not more with notaries. Thanks team, you guys are great, and I hope your team gets more business in the future, even the office staff was kind towards my mother with mental issues.

Russell is an amazing lawyer. From the very beginning, he was always honest and upfront with everything. He answered all ym questions and responded to all my emails and phone calls in a timely manner. I couldn't be more happier with our legal representation in our adoption case!
