Great divorce lawyer

Larry represented me during my recent divorce. I could not have made a better choice. He navigated me through a difficult time in my life. He always had my best interest at hand. His professionalism and expertise are unparalleled.

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.

Great to work with

I found Larry to be very knowledgeable in family law. He was very practical and tried very hard to "make a deal". He was very cost conscious and kept telling me that the legal fees would outweigh the benefit. He is very honorable. I have dealt with many attorneys in my career and I would highly re...commend Larry.

Highly Experienced Divorce Attorney

Lawrence LaRaus is truly an outstanding attorney! He was extremely patient, knowledgeable, and on point through the whole process of my divorce. I had so many questions and concerns regarding my son and the time I wanted to spend with him, and all that I wanted to contribute and be a part of in his... life. Larry made me feel confident and at ease, and I knew I was in good hands. He always got right back to me when I called, texted, or emailed him. He was extremely professional with all parties involved. Truly, an amazing professional you would want to represent you. I would highly recommend him to anyone going through such a difficult time. Thank you for getting me through this difficult divorce and accomplishing all my needs, especially in regards to my son. Outstanding lawyer!

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.
