Personal Injury (Litigation)

Santa Barbara, California

Personal Introduction

Personal Injury Lawyer Focused on Serving Victims in The San Francisco Bay Area and Santa Barbara County for over a decade. The law is Russell’s third career. He first worked for the United States government as a wild-land firefighter using shovels, chainsaws and dirt to battle forest fires. During the off-seasons and during graduate school, Russell worked as a substitute school teacher, before attending law school in San Francisco. An Eagle Scout, Mr. Goodrow was raised in Goleta, California, where he played varsity football and baseball. The seasonal schedules of firefighting and teaching allowed Russell to travel for long periods on surf excursions to the Southern Hemisphere. Now, Russell litigates personal injury cases and fights (and wins) cases against insurance companies on behalf of the victims of car, motorcycle, pedestrian and bicycle crashes. Russell is an experienced civil and criminal trial attorney, who specializes in personal injury law. Russell attended California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo, where he earned a B.A. in History and Minors in Philosophy, Anthropology, and Geography. After completing his M.A. in Latin American History and Social Theory at San Francisco State University, Russell attended Golden Gate University, where he earned his J.D. In the final year of law school, Russell volunteered at the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office, where he received his first trial experience. Then, Russell worked for the US Department of Justice on environmental cases that included the 2007 Cosco Busan tanker case, where 53,569 gallons of heavy fuel oil spilled into San Francisco Bay. During that time, Russell also worked for the Bar Association of San Francisco’s Indigent Defense Administration, where he defended indigent people in the criminal trial court.
