Marc Lazarus | Newport Beach Personal Injury Lawyer | California

For over 28 years, Chris Russell has been a pivotal ally for personal injury clients across Southern California. After practicing law since 1984, Chris established the Russell and Lazarus law firm in 1998, with offices located in Newport Beach, California. The firm serves Orange County, Los Angeles County, Riverside County, Sacramento County, and San Bernardino County, California residents.

With over $100 million in personal injury compensation, our firm has the skill and track record to succeed. We have personally assisted over 5,000 clients who have sought out our experienced legal services; 95% of whom have had successful outcomes. Our entire philosophy stands behind a single principle: putting our clients’ interests first. Our Orange County personal injury law firm has been built on the tenets of compassion, along with working harder and smarter than the opposition. These guiding principles help us ensure that we obtain the best possible results for all of our clients.

We know how horrible it is to suffer through a serious accident. It is additionally painful knowing that an accident could have been prevented if someone had paid attention to their actions. Through the negligence of another, an accident occurred that should not have happened. And now, you have to go through the unimaginable pain and difficult, long process of recovery. That is why we are here: to help defend you against the bad guys through our personal injury representation.
