Overall great experience

Larry was exceptional, personable, and reassuring. He made me feel comfortable during a difficult time, almost like a trusted friend. His deep knowledge of the field added another layer of peace, giving me confidence I was in the best hands. He was also extremely responsive, whether by email, text, o...r phone, something hard to find with lawyers these days. If you find yourself in need of a divorce attorney, give Larry a call. He won’t disappoint.

Class Act Divorce Attorney

When I began vetting divorce lawyers to hire, I did quite a bit of research and made many calls before I confidently decided on hiring Larry LaRaus to advocate for me. He was knowledgeable, personable and well spoken, with an impressive resume to boot. I spoke to him a handful of times without him ...passing along a consultation fee. Larry checked all the boxes! As we near the end of this grueling and heart wrenching divorce process together, my selection in Larry has been validated to be the right choice. He’s a man of integrity and is concluding my divorce case with a fair and equitable settlement. I highly recommend, Larry. Thank you, Mr. LaRaus.

Just call Larry already!!!

If you are getting divorced, thinking about getting divorced, or have any sort of custody issues, pick up the phone and call Larry LaRaus. He will make sure he understands what's important to you and be in your corner every step of the way, knowing what tactic to use when -- whether that's being a ...pit bull in the courtroom, a suave diplomat in negotiations, or penning the most biting, on-point messages to your ex's lawyer that they're silenced. He will do all of these things with his signature grace, fierce confidence, strong ethic, and warm humor that will be a beacon of sanity, reason, and assurance during this process. He has a deep and nuanced understanding of the law, and he expertly navigated the complexity of my case, which had been initiated in a different state, involved a special needs child, and featured a revolving door of opposing counsel. He brought a rare combination of empathy, practicality, and ferocity to my divorce -- and he got things done in a way I feel great about. While I may not have made the best decision in choosing a husband, choosing Larry to represent me in my divorce was the best decision I ever made -- for myself and my kids.
