Russo & Associates, LLC, Attorneys at Law has been serving clients in Fairfield County for over ten years. Our main focus is in the area of Real Estate Property, Small Business and Probate matters. We help our clients with both transactions and litigation matters in each of these areas.
Our lawyers have a breadth of experience to help you no matter what your challenge: whether it’s buying a home or settling a lawsuit with your neighbor over a common border fence. Many small businesses rely on our expertise when they’re first starting out, restructuring or when they find themselves in a Court dispute. Though the most sensitive and compassionate work we do is helping families probate the estate of a loved one or setup a conservatorship to help a family member in crisis.
