A well known lawyer is essential to success

Folks, I was referred to Larry from another very well known divorce lawyer. When I was looking for a divorce lawyer I was looking for a few key factors. The first being experience, the second being well known within family civil court and the third charging a fair rate and not charging for every emai...l, copy, fax, etc. Larry met my needs in all regards. Larry has been upfront about potential outcomes and has always been available to answer questions. He's very prompt on emails as well. We had one very positive outcome which I give him credit for. I have already recommended Larry to a friend who is contemplating divorce and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him again.

Best kept secret in Fairfax

Larry came highly recommended to me by a co-worker. I was looking for someone who would help put my mind at ease and educate me with the intricacies of child custody and child support and all that entails. I moved into the area as a newlywed with two step sons, a spouse on a two year deployment, an...d no legal experience when it came to my rights and responsibilities as their legal guardian. Larry was very assuring and supportive. He answered all my questions with professionalism and respect. He was very prompt in answering my calls and sometimes it seemed like I was his only client because he was so well versed in the details of case. I would highly recommend Larry if you ever find yourself in need of legal guidance or representation. I am hoping that I will not need his services moving forward, fingers crossed, but if I do there will be no question as to who I will go to!

Exactly who I needed….

Larry is the best. He is experienced, understanding, available (always quickly returned my calls) and was exactly who I needed for my divorce. I was so impressed with how smoothly the entire process went that I referred two of my friends to Larry and both were equally pleased with the services prov...ided. Recently, I returned to Larry to prepare a prenuptial agreement. Thanks to his help, I now have the peace of mind to remarry without concerns of the potential consequences of a future divorce.

Would Highly Recommend

Larry and his firm were recommended to me by a mutual acquaintance. And, not having had any experience with any part of the legal system, my apprehension was immediately allayed by Larry's personableness, knowledge and efficiency. That put my mind at ease throughout the entire process of my legal is...sue. He is also very communicative to the point I always knew what was occurring and what if any potential ramifications might result. He is always clear on what he needed from me. Additionally, I always felt well prepped and briefed on the strategy going into a court session. I would not hesitate to recommend him or his firm.

Larry got me exactly what I needed.

Larry came highly recommended to me, and I would also highly recommend Larry to anyone going through a situation similar to mine. I shared my situation with Larry very clearly. I was divorcing and I wanted as much time with my son as possible. I understood already, as a father, that the chance for f...ull custody of my son in this state is very unlikely. Larry provided clear and unfiltered feedback and counsel, based on my desires, and to that end, he was extremely upfront about the following areas: 1) Interaction with my spouse - Larry was clear that tempers would be high during negotiations and proceedings, and that was no exception in my case. Larry provided constant and consistent counsel and support regarding how to proceed with my spouse through negotiations in order to ensure that I was in the best possible situation and not involved with highly negative correspondence that consistently came from my spouse. 2) Time with my son - Larry constantly advised that I spend as much time as possible with my son, and that I explicitly document all time spent with him. Because in that year of separation in the state of Virginia, for much of that time, we did not have a state recognized custody agreement. We had an agreement between each other, but not a formal agreement. Larry highly encouraged and advised that not only do I request more time with my child on top of that, but that I document, in detail, the time I spent with him. 3) Custody Settlement - Related to the second bullet, because of the amount of time that I spent with my son and the counsel that Larry provided me, I have a custody plan that gives me time with my son for more than 50% of the year, which is outstanding for my son and I and ensures that I have protected time to shape his life and ensure that he has the best chance to succeed as an adult. I will forever be grateful to Larry for recognizing my desires and ensuring that I understand that while I couldn't possibly have full custody of my child, that I could have very close to that. 4) Supporting Legal Matters - I was served discovery and interrogatories by my ex spouse's representation. Larry was very upfront about this, advising me to complete as much of the requirements myself to avoid exorbitant legal fees. I leaned on him for assistance where needed, but he helped me to avoid significant fees by being honest and encouraging me to work on as much of the requirements as I could, vice taking these himself and charging me after. 5) Negotiations - Larry's expertise in all negotiations was priceless. I needed this desperately, and Larry consistently delivered. In particular, I was able to settle both custody and support out of court, and was able to have the type of custody that I hoped for. Larry worked well with her counsel and always kept me informed of how negotiations were preceding. I was never in the dark, and on the final day, when all settlements were completed out of court, I couldn't thank Larry enough. I have recommended Larry to other people in similar situations to mine and I will continue to do so. If you have clear goals in divorce, and in particular, if you have children, then I highly recommend Larry as your representation.
