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.
