I draw on my background in hospitality to maintain a service-oriented approach to advocacy.

Charles “Wil” Russell applies strong problem-solving skills and out-of-the-box thinking to serve clients in Wharton Aldhizer & Weaver PLC’s Civil Litigation practice area. Wil joined the firm in 2025, bringing with him hands-on experience from a judicial and several law firm clerkships, including serving two circuit court judges in Staunton and Waynesboro. This experience trained him to cut through complexity and address legal issues quickly and effectively. Wil’s considerate communication style fosters clear and honest relationships with others, which is an invaluable strength he brings to WAW’s team and clients.
