A refreshing alternative
to the conventional law firm.

Russakow | Ryan | Johnson is led by founding shareholders Mark Russakow, Kelly Ryan and Chris Johnson. We are a general practice firm with several legal specialties including business litigation, eminent domain, transactional (corporate formations), probate litigation, family law, employment law, litigation, estate planning and real estate law.

Our exceptional results are the product of an unconventional approach to the provision of legal services. It starts with a visit to one of our offices. Clients and associates alike are treated to an office culture that is comfortable, team-oriented and casual. Clean, contemporary spaces invite clients to hang out and relax. Associates and partners are dressed just like you are – in T-shirts and jeans – unless we’re in court. Our lawyers eat lunch together nearly every day. Our team approach provides greater service at an economical price, without compromising on the excellent representation of our clients. At a time when you may need reassurance, you can count on us to make you feel welcome and at ease.

We keep our clients comfortable in other ways, too. Other firms may say they’re litigators. We’re the real thing. Should your case go to trial, we can deliver the representation you need. Our attorneys are in court for trials on a regular basis, and have significant front-line experience in depositions and bench trials. We also draw upon a broad range of legal expertise that enables us to handle cases of all scopes. No matter what your case involves, we’ve got the resources you need.

You’ll also notice our straightforward approach. We won’t drag a case into extended and expensive litigation to bring in billings if a successful, favorable resolution can be reached by other means. Instead, we regularly employ facilitative mediation and arbitration, in order to reach favorable settlement solutions that can spare our clients the time, expense and stress of going to trial. As a Russakow | Ryan | Johnson client, you’ll enjoy big firm capabilities with the personal attention and involvement you’d expect from a smaller firm. We are structured from the ground up to pair the best legal representation available with a cost-effective, creative, problem-solving process. Sure, we like to win. But saving our clients money and arriving at the best possible resolution is our primary goal.
