His court martial trials included cases of attempted murder, drugs, rape, sexual assault, child molestation, conduct unbecoming, and assorted felonies.. As a military defense counsel, Gill eagerly took on many supposedly unwinnable cases.  Two of his most notable cases were United States v. Pettway and United States v. George, both very difficult rape cases.. After his honorable discharge, Gill practiced with Reagan, Manasseh & Boshea, one of the largest criminal defense firms in Louisiana with offices in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Lafayette and Oakland, California.  He was selected to attend Gerry Spence’s Trial Lawyers College in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.  He then opened his own firm in Baton Rouge with James P. Manasseh, where he continues to practice criminal defense and personal injury law.. Gill enjoys putting his energy, experience, and skills to work in both civilian and military settings.  Among his more memorable trial cases are California v. Gipson (murder), State v. Kolb (sexual abuse), State v. McNeal (attempted murder), State v. Mire (felon in possession of illegal firearm), State v. Tyler (murder), and, most recently, State v. Hooks (murder).

When someone asks if I am a lawyer, to this day I still pause.  My standard response is "No.  I am just the guy next door who happens to know all the rules." This is a more accuratedescription of how I view myself  in relation to my clients.  My clients are friends...they are family...they become personally important to me.. My road to becoming a lawyer was somewhat non-traditional.  There was no silver spoon in my mouth the day I was born.  I joined the military and worked myself through college and law school.  I was fortunate to mentor under a fine southern lawyer enjoying the final days of career.  I was schooled in the elegance of gentlemanly lawyering, while at the same time learning the art of " in the trenches" litigation.. As a result, I have attained a stellar trial record and will gladly share it if ever asked.  I have recovered millions on behalf of my injured clients  and yet no case was more important to me than the other.  As a divorced father, I have embraced the responsibitlies the law has to families experiencing divorce.  Likewise, I am very humbled by the numerous small businesses I represent and the owners who trust me with their livelihood.. As much as I love being your lawyer, I also enjoy all that life has to offer.  If you find me out of the office, you should probabaly look for me underwater, as I am an avid scuba diver.  Of course, my wife prefers long cool motorcycle rides to diving, but who says we cannot have both?. As Mark Twain once said, I have never met a stranger.....so feel free to call me, or email.  I would love to meet you and those important to you and see what I may offer you.. Your friend, Russell

Our office has operated on Justice Avenue since June 1, 1993. It's a far piece from being an old farm boy from North Louisiana, but it's what I've wanted to do since the Seventh Grade. As a lawyer, I have been representing victims of accidents since 1989. Initially as a law clerk and then as a lawyer, I had the great opportunity to work for one of the most prestigious personal injury attorneys in the state.  I worked there almost exclusively in the fields of medical negligence and maritime accidents.  In 1991, I left for greener pastures to what was at the time the largest personal injury firm in the state.  Not only was my experience in handling cases involving offshore accidents greatly expanded, but I learned how to represent the automobile accident victim. From there, I helped form a partneship which handled only personal injury and wrongful death cases.If it involves an injury from an accident, I've probably handled something similar - whether it's a minor fender bender or a death on the high seas. From those humble beginnings, I now represent people the way I have always wanted to - on a personal level. It starts at the foundation of the relationship - the contract for services.  Most attorneys charge 33%, others 36%, and a well-known advertising irm charges a 40% fee, if they settle your case without filing a lawsuit.  Their fee is much higher if a lawsuit is necessary. This directly affects how much money you will receive for your injury. The lesser the attorney's fee means more money you will put in your pocket, and that's not just a guarantee - it's in your contract.
