Finding character in an attorney is a rare find

Unfortunately, I've spent more than my share in court and I've had experience and worked with over 6 attorneys in the past 12 years; divorce, custody, child protection services, you name it, I've seen it. I think I've lost count. I don't recommend it, but I've even represented myself on several occa...sions. If I had known Larry, I never would've tried. Larry is a rare find. He's smart. He's experienced and more than anything he has integrity. His strategy's aren't about maximizing his profit margin. Yes, he'll do what is best for you. Case in point, I went to one of the most prestigious firms in DC and they wanted a $25K retainer. I went with Larry and even though the odds were stacked against me, I followed his advice and we got an unbelievably favorable settlement for 10% of that cost.

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.
