After an extensive search for a firm that could help with a family matter, I discovered McCabe Russell. I worked with Heather McCabe, Jeff Evans and Team who did an outstanding job representing me. They are a competent and responsive team who kept me well informed throughout the entire process. I highly recommend this firm!

It was a long journey, but I could not have gone through this without the guidance and expertise of McCabe Russell. Heather and Madison were by my side the entire time and helped me navigate the divorce process with very few bumps in the road. I trusted them entirely and put my mind at ease knowing I was in good hands during the process. Thank you for fighting for me and treating me like an actual person rather than just another client. I'm so very happy that I choose McCabe Russell to represent me in one the hardest and most stressful times of my life. I hope to never need a lawyer again but if I do, I know who to call.

Heather and Emily really care about their clients and are always looking out for your interest as well as the best interest for your children. I had a few other lawyers in the past but wish that I would have found them first.
