Posted by Sheri | October 18, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Best of the best!

Frank never gave up on me and my kids and knew exactly how to deal with my narcissist ex husband. I can finally live a happy life all because of Frank. I can’t imagine where I would be had I hired anyone else.

Posted by Phil | September 21, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Frank LaRocca is a don

Frank did a great job on my case. He masterfully navigated the parties towards a solution that avoided a protracted legal battle and further stress on our family. The opposing litigant was extremely difficult to deal with and was herself a lawyer. Our children suffered as a result. There was a lon...g troubling history to contend with, including one child being at risk and becoming the subject of a custody battle. I didn't think anyone could pull off a mediation settlement but he did. I'm also a lawyer, so when I say his peoplecraft and litigation skills are among the best I've seen it means something. Most importantly I felt he had my and my children's interests foremost in mind from a wise, big-picture perspective and conducted himself accordingly.

Frank LaRocca - recommendation

I've been using Frank as my lawyer for over 5 years now and each and every time I've needed him, he's been there for me. He's prompt, courteous, professional, compassionate and most of all knows the law and works hard for you. He not only provides you superb legal counsel, he gives you an understan...ding of what might happen in the various situations that you are faced with and prepares a strategy accordingly. He understands the process that we all go through with divorce and he brings his many years of experience to "you". I continue to use Frank and would most definitely provide my highest recommendation to use his services.

I would highly recommend Frank J. LaRocca

I am going through a domestic violence separation from a crazy narcissist. Mr. LaRocca made me feel at ease and helped guide me through the process. Mr. LaRocca not only took the time to return every call, email, text and answer every question - he made sure to keep me informed of any possible situat...ions. He is a master at his craft -- he predicted many situations that would come up from opposing counsel - which helped me prepare and remain focused. I am extremely pleased with his representation so far - my case still has many miles to go... Mr. LaRocca has been great in helping educate me to understand every step of the domestic violence TRO/FRO and financial separation process. I greatly appreciate his advice, his calmness, his courtesy, his knowledge, and his over all character. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. I highly recommend him and his team. I look forward to having him by my side as we slay the narcissistic monster I am separating from.

Great lawyer!

Frank LaRocca has been my lawyer handling the details of my high-conflict divorce for over 5 years. He has always treated me with respect and shown a genuine interest in my case. He has been available for advice and guidance throughout this difficult time. I am glad I have him on my side and I res...pect his legal opinions. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone getting divorced.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Frank is a great family law attorney. I have had him as an adversary many times, and he is always formidable. He is always aggressive and well prepared, but always willing to resolve issues so long as they are fair to his client. He has great insight, which also makes him a top shelf divorce mediator. I have used him many times as a mediator, and he has always been able to resolve my cases. Highly professional, and totally ethical. Really great attorney."

Family lawyer | Jul 17

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I first met Mr. Larocca as a mediator perhaps 10 years ago. Recently from 20113 until 2015 he became my adversary in a high net worth family law matter involving divorce, domestic violence, and subsequent family relocation case. The parties initially were very non-amicable and litigious and the issues got very intense for them at select times. Where lesser lawyers would have simply walked away from the representation, Frank was able to remain focused, calm, diligent, professional, honest and constant in his representations and presentations. While there was litigation early on, over time with the continued constant professionalism displayed, It allowed the parties to finally have a meeting of the minds, arrive at a peaceful settlement treaty by consent, and allowed the family post divorce to become closer than when it began. I endorse this lawyer and look forward to working with him in the future."
