I hired Larry to help me with my divorce and custody needs. He was dedicated, focused on getting through the process with an unwilling divorce partner. Excellent person to have defending you.
My experience after hiring Larry Kroll was not a very good one. I don’t think Larry actually ever listened to what I actually wanted during my the divorce. After him not advocating for my desires or what would be in my son’s best interest at the ESP, 4 way conference, and economic mediation I finally decided to get another attorney. The other attorney got me double the amount of time with my son, significantly lowered my alimony in both amount and term. I had hired Larry because of the lower price but in the end it cost me a lot more because I had to hire another attorney to do what he was not able to do for me.

Made a big mistake hiring him for my divorce
My experience after hiring Larry Kroll was not a very good one. I don’t think Larry actually ever listened to what I actually wanted during my the divorce. After him not advocating for my desires or what would be in my son’s best interest at the ESP, 4 way conference, and economic mediation I finally decided to get another attorney.

Response from Lawrence KrollApril 2, 2018
Not every client is going to be happy with our services. This client's situation was complicated, and we were unable to resolve it despite three separate mediation efforts and meetings; and different mediators who suggested different solutions to the various issues. I asked the client to meet with me to discuss the situation after the last mediation, however, he decided to retain new counsel. Sometimes, a fresh perspective provides solutions, and I am happy that this client ultimately obtained a resolution he was happy about. Unfortunately, the client did not provide us with the opportunity to solve his problems, but it appears that he did ultimately reach an acceptable solution to these issues in his divorce.
