Partner Emily Russell Named to Best Lawyers

Please join the team at McCabe Russell Divorce and Child Custody Lawyers in congratulating partner Emily Russell on her inclusion in the 2026 edition of “Best Lawyers in America® for Family Law.” This recognition is a big deal, and we want to share why it’s meaningful, both for Emily and for our firm as a whole. This is Emily’s first appearance on the Best Lawyers list, and we are all very proud of her.

What is Best Lawyers?

A quick word, first, on what inclusion in Best Lawyers means. Best Lawyers is a peer review-based directory that recognizes outstanding legal professionals across a variety of practice areas. Lawyers cannot nominate themselves; their work must be recognized by other lawyers in the field. Being named to Best Lawyers means that Emily’s peers see her as a top legal professional in her practice area.

This type of recognition is especially important in fields like family law, where trust, reputation, and real results matter greatly for our clients.
