About Ruth Russell Law

Legal Representation
I believe every person deserves to be seen, heard, and defended — not just as a client, but as a human being. In my criminal defense practice, I spend my time finding the good in people others have ignored. I do not judge you based on the charge. I see past the accusation to the individual, and I treat every client with the respect and dignity they deserve.
​
My work is grounded in the constitutional promise of due process and the presumption of innocence. I approach each case with strategic precision, deep legal research, and a commitment to protecting your rights at every turn. I’ve tried dozens of cases to verdict, and I’ve successfully argued before the Missouri Supreme Court — experience that informs every decision I make and every courtroom I enter.
​
Whether it’s a misdemeanor or a serious felony, I provide zealous representation rooted in compassion, clarity, and courage. I also advocate fiercely for second chances, helping clients pursue expungements and probation discharges under Missouri law. Justice is not automatic. It must be demanded, defended, and fought for. That is the work I do — and the promise I make — every time I step into court.
