Top Attorney

As difficult as divorce can be Larry is the attorney you want representing you. His compassion, knowledge & expertise of the law was displayed in & out of the court room. As his client I witnessed the respect he had from both the judges & opposing counsels. He's a team player, allowing you to voice y...our concerns & will flight for you to get best & fair results you want.

Led to way through a difficult time

Larry is knowledgeable, kind, practical, and one of the good guys. He helped me through a very complicated divorce. His thoughtful actions provided immediate stability for me, and more importantly for my children. His advice about what to expect through the process was always spot-on. Unfortunat...ely, he does not have a magic wand, but he does what he can to navigate his client through an ordeal.

Mr. Reynaldo Medina

I have been dealing with my separation/divorce/family court issues since 2007. When I retained Larry LaRaus, my divorce had been finalized by another attorney and I soon realized that the terms of the divorce were unfavorable to me. From the very first conversation I had with Larry, he was right to ...the point and very honest about the pros and cons of the decree as it had been written. Even though this process has been emotionally draining, he has done such a great job of making me feel less apprehensive about any court appearances or inappropriate behavior that I have had to put up with from my ex-wife and her lawyer. Whenever we have spoken, the first thing he asks me are how my children are doing. Whenever I have expressed any negative issues I have had with my children, Larry has shown genuine concern. You can't really put a numerical value on this type of concern, professionalism, and humanity that Larry has shown My last family court appearance was to take my second child off of support because he reached the age of 21. The difference in the amount I was looking at was between a minuscule few dollars a week, to a substantial amount. In my case it would have been unjust to lower my support to just a few dollars a week. After a conference between the judge, Larry, and the other attorney, (second court appearance for this case), the judge lowered my support substantially. Needless to say I was extremely happy and felt that the court ruling was fair. I still have at least one, or two more court cases to go in the next four years. I can't think of anyone else I would rather have standing in my legal corner then Larry LaRaus!

Larry makes divorce fun (almost)

Larry Laraus was a tireless advocate and a great friend during a long, unpleasant process. He knows the law cold, and cuts directly to the heart of the matter at all times. He is mindful of your budgetary realities and humane toward all concerned. Fortunately, we managed to avoid any substantial cour...t time, but I almost wanted to go just to see him in action. I cannot recommend Mr. Laraus highly enough.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND--EXPERIENCED DIVORCE ATTORNEY

I am very satisfied with the outcome of my divorce that was handled by Larry. From the start and throughout the process, he communicated realistic goals and was always professional and responsive. Larry is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, trust worthy and most of all, honest. He will do “the ...right thing” for all parties involved. Thank you, Larry, for giving me the reassurance I needed in what otherwise would have been a very stressful time.
