ABOUT US
Personal Injury Lawyer Focused on Serving Victims in The San Francisco Bay Area, Northern California and all of Southern California.
The law is Russ’s third career. During his twenties, Russ worked for the US Forest Service as a wild-land firefighter using shovels, chainsaws and dirt to battle forest fires. During the off-seasons, Russ traveled to the Southern Hemisphere for surf trips and worked as a substitute school teacher.
An Eagle Scout, Mr. Goodrow was raised in Goleta, California, where he played varsity football and junior varsity baseball. Now, Russ litigates personal injury cases and fights (and wins) cases against insurance companies on behalf of the victims of car, motorcycle, pedestrian and bicycle accidents.
Russ is an experienced civil and criminal trial attorney, who specializes in personal injury law. Russ 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, Russ volunteered at the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office, where he received his first trial experience in 2004. Then, Rus 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, Russ also worked for the Bar Association of San Francisco’s Indigent Defense Administration, where he defended indigent people in the criminal trial court.
Goodrow Law Office is One of the Top Personal Injury Law Firms in California
We truly believe that our law firm exists to serve clients who have been injured in a car wreck, motorcycle crash, bicycle collision, pedestrian catastrophe, catastrophic slip and fall, and any other type of serious accident. Once you have hired our law firm, we will immediately begin to investigate the details of your case to gather the evidence we need to prove liability and negotiate with the insurance company. This may include interviewing witnesses, consulting with expert witnesses, reconstructing the scene of the crash, and issuing subpoenas to gain access to the information we need. We will do whatever it takes to help you recover the compensation that you deserve for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
At Goodrow Law Office, we believe that every victim of negligence should have the chance to work with a top lawyer in California without worrying about paying legal fees upfront. That’s why we always work on a contingency fee basis, which means we don’t expect to get paid unless we are able to recover compensation for you through a settlement or trial verdict.
Goodrow Law Office represents injured people in the San Francisco Bay Area, Northern California and all of Southern California who have suffered injuries or the wrongful death of a family member. If you have been injured by a negligent party, or if your loved one was killed by the negligent acts of another person, contact Goodrow Law Office as soon as possible.

Russ takes pride in the fact that he gives each case the attention that it deserves. Russ turns down many cases, so he doesn’t get overloaded with more cases than he can handle just to increase his bottom line. Unlike other law firms, Russ only takes on a handful of cases at a time. This allows Russ to dedicate a significant amount of time and energy to each case, so he is able to achieve the best possible outcome for his clients.
Many of Russ’s clients are surprised to find out that they can call and talk to us about their personal injury cases whenever they feel the need to do so. If you are one of our clients, you will have Russ’s cell phone number so you can get in touch with him regarding your case at all times.
