ALLYSON RUSSO founded Russo Law Offices to provide effective, personable, and professional representation with a personalized touch. With her 20 years of experience as a practicing attorney, she specializes in simple and comprehensive estate planning, estate administration, probate, and small-business formation and maintenance, premarital agreements, guardianship matters, wills, and trust administration. Her firm has served individuals and families for almost 10 years in the Western Suburbs, making her a legal leader paving the way for others.

What does the idea of power mean to you? To me, the idea of power is having the confidence to live and work pursuant to a high standard of ethics, excellence, and compassion.

What are you most proud of doing? I am most proud of choosing to live my life with gratitude, positivity, and optimism.

What’s the greatest risk you’ve taken as a professional? Starting my own law firm in 2014. I wasn’t sure how much business I would have at first, but I kept my overhead low and allowed Russo Law Offices to grow naturally. I received referrals through my hard earnest work, professionalism, and legal knowledge, and I am so proud of how far the firm has come and where we are today.

What meaningful lesson did you learn in your first job? During my first year as a lawyer, I learned how to work hard, treat everyone in the office and my clients with respect, and tackle any task, big or small, in any and all projects. To this day, I’ve carried that with me, bringing my clients the highest level of legal representation to ensure they are seen and heard.
