Highly recommend...

I reached out to Larry after being unhappy with the way my case was progressing with my existing attorney. After an initial consult I realized he was the best person to have in my corner through this difficult process. He went out of his way to explain all the complexities of my case and carefully ...laid out what the plan would be and all the potential outcomes. He did not "sugar coat" things and ensured there were no missed expectations or surprises along the way. When I realized the seriousness of my situation, the necessity to have someone with my best interests at heart was paramount. Larry knows the law, knows the system, and has an extended network of resources you would expect from a seasoned attorney. I can not say enough about my experience with Larry. He is the sole reason that my charges were not pushed to a felony and my sentence did not include jail time.

Consistently Delivers Results!

I have personally hired Mr. Delan for many different serious to minor offenses. His experience as a prosecutor and solicitor, coupled with his knowledge of the legal system and his long term relationships with prosecutors and judges in Atlanta and surrounding counties in Georgia make Mr. Delan the o...nly choice for personal injury, DUI and any criminal matter you may have. Mr. Delan has also been hired by many of my friends and colleagues with equally positive results.

and a quick resolution to my matter and didn't feel burned when i got my bill.

i have had to use atty's numerous times and have always felt cheated when i received the bill ... until now. i feel like my bill was fair . Larry was quick to action and very empathetic to my situation . My matter did not drag on and on as with previous attys. i will refer Larry in a second.

I owe Larry my life.

Larry represented me during the hardest years of my life. I was addicted to drugs and lost in life. Larry and I met after I was arrested for 18 felonies in Forsyth County... I was a mess. I wasn't a bad person, but I was doing every bad thing I possibly could to feed my addiction. At 20 years old, I ...was facing a minimum of 15 years in prison. I was terrified, as was my family. My father is a doctor, and my mom and step-dad owned a successful business. I had left college to go to rehab before completing, but overall came from an educated upper-class family with little experience in felony legal matters. With Larry's help and dedication, I completed treatment and eventually went to court to face my legal discrepancies. Larry pleaded my case, and put his reputation on the line by guaranteeing I was a changed man. I was granted probation with no jail time and eventually completed my probation. I now own a business, live in Florida, and am an active member in the addiction-recovery community. I celebrated 7 years of sobriety in August and owe my successes to the hard work Larry put in to give me the opportunity for a second chance. Larry, I owe you my life. Thank you and God bless.

"I 100% endorse Larry Delan. He is a great criminal defense and personal injury lawyer. Larry is an excellent trial attorney and truly fights for his clients! He knows the law very well and has super trial skills! Larry was a former Assistant District Attorney in DeKalb County for many years before he opened his own law practice and has been a great resource for me whenever I have a question about criminal defense and personal injury. You are in great hands if you are Larry's client!"

"Larry is a very hard-working, intelligent lawyer. He knows the law, and he truly cares about getting results for his clients. He's one of the best attorneys around. Before becoming a defense attorney myself, I was a prosecutor. When Larry was on the other side, he was always professional but difficult to litigate against because of how well he knew the law and the facts of the case. He is tremendously talented and I would not hesitate to recommend Larry to anyone who needs legal assistance."

"Larry's a friend and a colleague. We were law partners for several years, and we have worked in the same practice areas for over two decades. He's a great lawyer, and an even better person. If a loved one of mine needed legal assistance, I'd refer her or him to Larry without hesitation. He's well respected by the local bar, and a true credit to the profession."
