George Nicholas Russo III

George N. Russo III is an immigration and criminal defense attorney based in Newark, New Jersey, serving clients throughout Essex County and the greater New Jersey area. Before founding The Russo Firm, George served as an Assistant County Prosecutor, where he was assigned to the trial team and the special narcotics enforcement unit. During his tenure, he prosecuted hundreds of cases involving narcotics, assault, theft, burglary, sexual assault, and motor vehicle offenses. That prosecutorial experience gives George a unique advantage in representing clients — he understands how the government builds its cases and uses that knowledge to protect his clients. George's immigration practice covers the full range of immigration matters, including family-based petitions, marriage-based immigration, cancellation of removal, asylum, VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) claims, waivers, adjustment of status, consular processing, DACA, and employment-based immigration. He also provides consultations for foreign-born individuals charged with criminal offenses, helping them understand the immigration consequences of criminal charges before it's too late. At The Russo Firm, clients receive personal attention and aggressive representation at every stage of their case. George is committed to fighting for individuals and families who are navigating some of the most stressful legal challenges of their lives.
