As a sole practitioner, every client receives his full attention, ensuring your concerns are heard and your intentions are fully understood.

Customized Wills, Trusts & Lifetime Planning Tools

Estate planning is never just about drafting a will—it’s about building a complete strategy that protects your assets, safeguards your family, and prepares for unexpected events. Depending on your situation, you may benefit from a range of planning tools, such as revocable living trusts, special needs trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and living wills. Each document serves a distinct purpose, from avoiding probate, to protecting children or a vulnerable loved one, to ensuring your medical preferences are honored if you cannot speak for yourself. Attorney John A. Russo explains the role of each document clearly and helps you choose the combination that best aligns with your goals. With more than 19 years serving Central Florida, he designs estate plans that are not only legally sound but also tailored to the unique needs of Maitland families.

Safeguarding Your Loved Ones and Reducing Future Stress


A well-prepared estate plan can prevent confusion, reduce stress, and help your loved ones avoid unnecessary delays and legal hurdles.
