Great representation.

Mr. Hudspeth took on my case when others would not due to a near future deployment. He navigated my work caused communication issues and assisted me through a difficult process towards an agreement with my X. He was reasonable and professional in his guidance. As a male service member I now have 50.../50 custody of my children, still have ownership of the home.

Divorce

I hired Mr. Hudspeth as a Divorce lawyer. He explained everything in detail. He promptly took action. Kept in touch through email. My case took longer than planned but to no fault of Mr. Hudspeth. The Coronavirus closed the courts around the time I should have had my hearing. As soon as the the cour...t system opened my case was pushed forward. I am very pleased with the outcome. I would hire Mr. Hudspeth again if needed.

A Marine's experience with Attorney Hudspeth

I am a Marine and I was dealing with a uncontested divorced through base legal. After having complications base legal referred me to Attorneny Hudspeth. I was in serious need and he gave me sound advice and represented me in this case. He is very easy to talk to, and helps you understand all the lega...l mumbo jumbo. He is also very easy to contact through emails or phone calls. After about 6 months of trying to get divorced due to the fact of my ex dodging service, I was granted my divorce. He did everything he could to help me serve my ex wife. I thank him for his service in my time of duress. I highly recommend him and will utilize him in future legal matters.

Family Legal Representation

Larry has assisted in navigating a contested divorce that resulted in joint custody of three children and a consent agreement after six years, three deployments, and a contentious negotiation between plaintiff and defendant. As one of his many clients, I always felt like a priority. Knowledgeable, ...patient, honest, and professional are words that best describe him and his character. Larry has my highest and strongest recommendation for family law representation.
