Committed and highly experienced

Mr. Menkes was our attorney in an extensive and complicated child custody litigation. His experience along with his insights were invaluable to our family. Mr. Menkes established a secure relationship with my son and was committed to advocating on my son's behalf. He was available and responsive to... all parties and took the time to get to know my son and recommend actions that were in my son's best interests.

In good hands!

Mr.Menkes is one amazing person. He is beyond great at his job but that in combination with his heart of gold, you can rest assured that you are in good hands! He went above and beyond what was required of him being my son's law guardian and couldn't ask for more. He answered all of my questions with...out hesitated and with great explanation. Thank you again and again!

Larry is incredibly helpful

I've used Larry several times with my small business and he was incredibly helpful and considerate of my needs. He has assisted me with the following: -Represented me against an onerous non-compete agreement with a former employer -Created a contract for all my employees to sign before working w...ith me -Helped collect monies owed from clients who refused to pay. He's fast, responds within 24 hours and gets right down to it. He's ruthless (in a kind and great way!) He is very has a strong moral compass which I really appreciated.

Great lawyer.

Larry handled a difficult medico legal case for me fighting an inspiration acne company that refused to pay for services delivered after they had agreed in writing for me to do them. He was swift, strong, and won the case.

Child custody lawyer | Sep 17

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have worked on custody matters with Larry. Larry goes above and beyond to represent his clients. He has a strong voice in the Courtroom and does an excellent job advocating for what his children want, even if it involves bringing petitions and motions on behalf of his clients. Sadly this is not always done and children are beyond fortunate to have Larry's representation!!"
