PEACE OF MIND PLANNING

Thoughtful estate planning from Russo Law is built on trust, empathy, and experience.

Every year, Russo Law Offices has several clients same refrain: “I wish I had done this sooner.” With children grown and retirement approaching, many admit estate planning had been on their to-do list since their kids were young—but life got in the way.

“We reassure them that it’s not too late—and that they’re not alone in starting this process later in life,” says firm owner Allyson Russo.

Once a thoughtful estate plan is in place—one that responsibly protects their children—clients feel an immediate sense of relief. “They leave with the peace of mind they’ve been missing,” Russo explains, “knowing the right structures are now in place to ensure everything runs smoothly, whatever the future brings.”

And the experience doesn’t end there. “Not only do clients trust us, but many are so happy with the process that they refer other family members to us as well,” Russo adds. “We consider that to be the greatest compliment.”

It’s a familiar story at Russo Law Offices, where estate planning, probate, trust administration, and small business advising are the firm’s primary focus.

Russo began practicing estate planning in 2010 after years in corporate business law. She has worked at large international firms and boutique estate planning practices in Boston and Chicago and holds an LL.M. in Taxation from Northwestern Pritzker School of Law, a J.D. from the University of Michigan, and a B.A. in Mathematics, magna cum laude, from Boston College.

In 2014, she founded Russo Law Offices, which has since grown to include four attorneys and three paralegals. “We work as a team,” says Russo, “so there’s always someone available when a client needs us.”

Being locally based is another advantage. “Many of us live right here in the community,” Russo says. “We love working with our neighbors and contributing in a meaningful way.”

“Estate planning has always appealed to me,” she adds. “Our goal is to help people find the comfort that comes with a solid plan—peace of mind, clarity, and security.”

Many clients come to Russo Law when they have young children and want to ensure their families are protected. “They want to leave things in good order,” Russo says.

With every client relationship, trust is paramount. “Beyond experience and technical knowledge, empathy and discretion are essential,” she explains. “Every family is different, and these conversations aren’t easy. No one likes to think about what happens after they’re gone, so we do everything we can to make the process as positive and reassuring as possible.”

It’s often those complexities that cause people to delay estate planning—especially when they’re young and healthy. “But that’s actually the best time to do it,” Russo says. “If something unexpected happens, having a plan in place when your children are young matters most.”

The bottom line: if you want your wishes honored, your assets distributed as intended, and decisions kept out of the courts, an estate plan is essential.

“We have a dedicated team to help you every step of the way,” Russo says. “Life is unpredictable, and our mission is to make sure your family and livelihood are protected.”
