Excellent, experienced divorce lawyer

Very experienced attorney I have worked with over many years through two divorce cases. Always professional, calm and readily available for case discussions.

Professional, Knowledgeable, and Responsive

Mr. Pearson has been professional, responsive, and knowledgeable throughout my case. He successfully handled my objection and has continued to provide clear guidance as we prepare for the next court appearance. I appreciate his representation and would recommend him to others dealing with family cour...t matters.

A good, attentive, knowledgeable and effective divorce lawyer who puts his clients' whishes at the forefront

Mr. Pearson was recommended by a colleague of mine, who herself had gone through a divorce and had had very positive experiences with him after he was recommended to her by one of her friends . So, in essence, my review constitutes the third recommendation in a row of Mr. Pearson , and this in itself... speaks to the high quality of services provided by Mr. Pearson. I was extremely happy with having Mr. Pearson as my divorce lawyer. His patience, advises, and guidance more than exceeded the praises given by my colleague. He listened to my wishes and put them at the forefront of his actions. My situation and requests were a bit unusual (I preferred a less-than-usual aggressive approach to the handling of my divorce) and at every step he explained to me the options, and the timeline and legal requirements for each option. His attention to my wishes, followed by his prudent actions based on his decades-long experience and knowledge of the law, earned my respect and deep appreciation. Hiring Mr. Pearson made it easier for me to proceed with my divorce, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who wants good, attentive and effective divorce lawyer who puts his clients first. I have no doubt that whoever hires him based on this review will end up writing a fourth, equally positive review of Mr. Pearson in a row.

One of the best lawyers I have ever met—possessing impeccable professional ethics, dedicated to every case, and always attentive to the slightest detail. He prepares you for every court appearance and is always available for calls and questions, even while on vacation or outside of business hours. I ...unreservedly recommend him 100%, and if I ever needed a lawyer again, he would be my first choice. Thank you, Mr. Pearson, for everything you did for me.

Helped me through my divorce

Difficult to keep the anger and unfairness of the process from getting in the way, but Larry was a big help and kept me focused on reaching the end rather than letting it drag on so I could "win" some irrelevant battle. Finishing is the goal. Thanks, Larry.

Clients have agreed with my endorsement of Larry as a smart, diligent and trustworthy lawyer. One client particularly appreciated his honest advice that she did not need to hire a lawyer. Lastly, he's a very nice person."
