It’s been a year and a half and I can’t even get a return phone call on what was supposed to be a simple case but I can get a bill.... for what idk because they won’t answer that question either.

Russ is a wonderful attorney and family man. He has been very helpful with multiple legal questions that I have had. He also did my divorce for me and was very attentive to my needs. Highly recommend.

At one of the lowest points of our life, a friend suggested we call Russell for his help, that family law was his specialty. From our first meeting I felt “this is the man that can save our family”. He not only went through meetings, mediation and every step of our legal process but was available to me through every crisis imaginal, with text, emails, phone calls and visits to our home. We laughed, I cried, and he supported us through it all! Still does! When I see him or talk to him there’s a calm that comes over me because I know when it falls apart again he will be there and make it all right again.
I would, and do, recommend Russell to everyone that needs a excellent family attorney. In fact, the friend that recommended him to us (also an attorney) said he “knocked our case right out of the park” he never heard of a settlement such as ours!
He is one of the very best attorneys, at the best and biggest law firm in Mercer County, a stand out in his community and church as well!

Russell and the entire staff of EKME are outstanding. Russell has helped with legal issues and was not only professional, but kind and personable. He was so knowledgeable and made my divorce paperwork and subsequent name change paperwork a breeze. He was happy to answer any questions that I had, was prompt in communication and a joy to work with. I enthusiastically refer friends and family to Russell and the staff of EKME for any legal advise they may need, as they are getting the best in the Shenango Valley.

Russell is truly a class act. He has gone above and beyond in the legal world just as he has in the community. I was recommended to use Russ and the work he did was quick and very organized. I'll recommend him to anyone and ill continue to use him in the future.

Russell is a bright, well-respected attorney in our area and a pleasure to work with. Always professional, as well as caring and understanding.

Very hard to get ahold of and I feel he gave me very bad advice.

Amazing, that’s all I need to say!

While dealing with a family situation, Russell was highly recommended to me. Every step of the way was extremely easy; from initial phone call to first consultation to end result. Throughout the whole process Russell was very direct about his strategy and expectations for the proceedings. Russell always offered his suggestions and helped me in a situation in which I was extremely unknowledgable.

As the case progressed, Russell kept me updated and frequently reviewed things with me. He was available to answer my questions every step of the way and even met me at the courthouse day of to once again go over things and answer any questions.

I would recommend Russell to anybody needing a family lawyer.

According to Russ my divorce was one of the most difficult high conflict divorce he has had so far in his career so because of this I have spent a ton of time and emails over the past 4 years with Russ. Even though my ex husband and his counsel made everything very difficult which is why it took so long to settle Russ always worked very hard to keep things simple and least expense as possible. Russ always was ready for each court appearance and never loss an argument. He was always ready for every hearing at DR and went above and beyond to get my kids everything possible. He loves his job as you can tell that in his passion but also takes great pride in his family and community. He is a family man that cares about families of his clients too. His assistant Kristen is professional and attentive too! He is blessed to have her also. I would highly recommend Russ if you want an attorney that tries to keep his cost low but also goes above and beyond to get the best outcome for his clients. My children and I were blessed to Russ on our side through a difficult divorce.

I am extremely pleased with Attorney Adkins service. He was methodical, thorough and thoughtful in his work. Beyond the professional aspect as an attorney, his service and contribution to the community are commendable.

I was in custody battle and I had no idea what to do or expect. I call Attorney Adkins and I honestly am glad I did . He made my case an easy process and still helps when with any questions. I would recommend his services to anyone. Thank you so much for your help.

Russel Adkins was monumental with getting me through my divorce. He was extremely supportive, patience and thorough. When it was apparent that I needed a PFA from my (then) husband, Russell assisted me with getting in touch with the Aware program. This was extremely helpful considering my wages at the time were being garnished due to several poor business decisions that’s were made during my marriage. I dreaded the fact that I needed an attorney but am glad that another lawyer referred me to Russel Atkins and his firm. Although all parties are not as satisfied as me with the outcome, Russell always had my best interests in mind and followed through with matters in a timely manner.

I wish we had similar experiences to these reviews when it came to dealing with Russell Adkins. Understanding that an attorney's schedule is quite hectic, we have patiently awaited funds that his firm was to disburse to my fiance from a house that was sold on 5/31/19. To date, Mr. Adkins refuses to respond to inquiries on when the proceeds should be received. For the past eight weeks my fiance has left voicemails and messages with his assistant but it appears he cherry picks who he responds to. We thought this small town attorney would be easier to work with but that has not been the case.

I have dealt with Russell Adkins from this firm for months and this attorney has been nothing short of difficult to work with. Both me and my attorney have tried to reach out to him numerous times to finalize our matters but Mr. Adkins refuses to do his part to close this chapter of my life. He has held onto funds from houses sold despite the fact that there is a court signed order that specifically details how the proceeds should be disbursed. I understand this is a small town and there may not be many choices of attorneys but please consider before working with this attorney.
