Frank Russo
Serving Northern California with offices available in Oakland, Concord, & Santa Rosa.
You have come to the right place if you want to engage the services of a legal professional who will help you settle your case or dispute more quickly, with greater satisfaction, and less expense than litigation.
I bring parties from conflict to resolution through establishing rapport, earning trust, understanding perspectives, and overcoming legal, psychological, and philosophical differences.
With over 10,000 settlements over the course of 45+ years as attorney, I have earned a reputation as a “peacemaker.” Combining a keen sense of negotiation, a touch of diplomacy, and the ability to bridge differences between entrenched parties, I help you and the other parties make the best decisions by:
Preparing the parties prior to the process
Drilling down to core interests and identifying the barriers to settlement
Listening and understanding different points of view
Facilitating communication and building a dialogue between the parties
Explaining the law and practical choices
Exploring creative settlements and thinking outside the box
Working tirelessly to get to “Yes”
