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.

Highly Recommended!

Larry was wonderful from beginning to end! A family friend recommended Larry to me while I was seeking a divorce attorney. Getting a divorce is something I never imagined happening, but he made a very difficult process much easier than I imagined. He was very personable and understanding throughout t...he entire process. He was very knowledgeable in explaining everything and broke down all of the possible scenarios which was very helpful in making decisions. I'll always be very grateful to have had Larry on my side during this complicated time. What could have taken a lot of time he had buttoned up in just a few months because he went above and beyond!

Simply the best!

Larry was efficient and no nonsense kind of divorce lawyer. He actively listened to me and then was open and honest with my options, outcomes, etc. He got me divorced as quickly as he could and helped me every step of the way. I’m not sure with the fees as this was my first divorce so, I can’t compa...re. It was costly! However, worth it because he got me divorced and was supportive and open and honest through the whole process. I also appreciated him getting to the point and not dragging anything out. He gets the job done and does it honestly and professionally. I will forever be grateful for him and I’m glad I chose him to be my divorce lawyer.
