Professional and compassionate

Mr. Hudspeth represented me on several matters in both family and civil cases. I appreciated his prompt and clear communication throughout the process. Consultations were always readily available and easily scheduled. In the quart room, Mr. Hudspeth was professional and was more than willing to expla...in matters in detail. He was supportive and kind when the courtroom was hostile. I appreciated his ability to refer to other counsel when necessary and he didn’t sugar coat outcomes just to sell his service. I would highly recommend Mr. Hudspeth in all matters in which he agrees to represent his clients.

Sincerity

Mr. Hudspeth wasn’t in a position to take my case, however, he responded quickly, and with kindness and sincerity, which is something that I cannot be more thankful for, after some others offered false hope and nearly abusive behavior. Thank you, Mr. Hudspeth, for you prompt, kind and sincere res...ponse.

Wise and punctual professional

Met with Mr Hudspeth for about an hour the first time, within a week he provided a very well written product. He gave father like counsel and answered every question throughout our time. When the process was prolonged because of the other party he waited patiently and when the final steps came he was... able to complete the process expeditiously.

Technically outstanding/Very supportive/Professional

This was a matter that took over five years to conclude, primarily because both plaintiff and defendant's circumstances were in a continual state of change, both financially and geographically. Larry was extremely patient and supportive throughout, although I'm certain he was at times a bit frustrate...d. The goal was to reach a mutually agreeable consent judgment without litigation. Larry's guidance and excellent knowledge, especially regarding military divorce matters, coupled with his patience throughout, eventually brought the matter to a successful conclusion. We were able to come to terms with a minimum of animosity, and Larry was instrumental in providing input and guidance to accomplish that result. I consider Larry to be outstanding at what he does.....and, importantly, I consider him a good friend.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
