Matt and his team exceeded my expectations in every way. Legal issues are in no way pleasant but I was made to feel well-represented, informed and respected during the entire process.

I hired Russel Dempsey for my DWI case and from the beginning he was very professional and easy to deal with. He was able to break everything down for me and basically tell me how things would go. It was the first time I was in trouble with the law and he helped me understand what was going on and could answer any question I had. I received the news today after two longs years of my case being drug out (not Russel’s fault) that my case has been dropped. I 100% recommend him and his practice.

Where do I start? I thought I was going to have to plead guilty!! That was over a year ago. Fast forward to today and I just got news that case was dismissed!!! If it was not for the diligence and expertise of Matt Russell that would not have happened. The staff is always super friendly and great at sending reminders for all court dates etc. Nobody wants to go to court, but if you do you want it to go as smoothly as possible and you want to be represented by the best....and that's MRD lawyers.

So I decided to do some research on the law firm,I discovered that they help with the overflow for the public defenders office.its nice to know that not all court appointed lawyers work for the state and I like companies who help those in there community.

Micah Seago

I would highly recommend working with MRD Lawyers. Russell was extremely kind, knowledgeable, and understanding of my circumstances and helped explain everything to ensure that I understood my case and what my options were. I was pleasantly amazed every time we met to discuss where we were at and the next steps. I went into everything expecting the worst but Russell helped to calm my nerves and ensured that I received the best resolution to my case while also exceeding my expectations!

Rob Broadbent

If you're here unfortunately you're in need of a lawyer... No need to look any further! Matthew works as hard as can be to get you the best possible outcome for your case!

Preston Henry

Mr. Russell did such a good job with my case. I was amazed with how familiar he was with the judge and prosecutors, I mean that in a good way. I have never seen any lawyer make a judge laugh and it made me much more comfortable when he did. I owe a huge thanks to the whole firm for helping me, they were extremely responsive even when I was residing out of state. The communication system that they have with their emails and easy access was all around well organized and quick. Thanks Matt! God bless you guys.
