Russell has had the opportunity to have taught the legal aspects of criminal procedures to the Florida Probation and Parole Officers through the Florida Department of Corrections. He has received high praise from the students who cited his extensive knowledge and expertise in the field of criminal law and criminal procedure. A native of Staten Island New York, Russell graduated from The State University of New York at Stony Brook. After relocating to South Florida in 1984 he attended The Shepard Broad Law Center at Nova Southeastern University, graduating in 1987. During his last semester in Law School, Russell worked as an intern for the Broward County State Attorneys Office. It was at that time that he discovered his love of criminal law as a defense lawyer. After graduating in 1987, Russell worked for a private practitioner where he learned to fine tune his legal skills doing research, writing memorandum, arguing motions and trying cases. In 1990, he became a partner in the Law Firm Roderman & Williams, staying for five years before venturing out on his own in 1995 establishing The Law Office of Russell J. Williams P. A. In 2014 Russell partnered with the Williams Hilal & Wigand, LLC that concentrate on auto accidents, child custody, divorce, family dispute, intellectual property, product liability, premises liability, wage claim and wrongful death. Since then, Russell has successfully defended hundreds of clients, tirelessly preserving and defending their constitutional rights - always remembering that all people are innocent until proven guilty.
