Larry is my lawyer on my custody case. I got everything I asked for. He fought hard for me! I've been through two different lawyers before him, which were both disappointing. Third time was a charm! Highly recommend! This man knows what he's doing!

Larry is THE MAN

When you need the best call Larry Stagg! Larry was referred to me as my son and I both used Larry for custody as well as civil matters. Larry knows the law and will work hard for you as Larry won both cases for my son and I. With Larry you get what you pay for as you do not want to skimp out with cheap representation when you need it the most. Therefore, I highly recommend the Stagg Law Firm in Ringgold GA!

Professional law firm

During the toughest time of my life, Larry and his staff work hard on my case for over a year. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to represent me and cannot thank them enough for the outcome of my case. I highly recommend Larry Stagg.

Larry & his staff were absolutely amazing. They were always helpful & straight forward in the process. He is definitely a well respected attorney both in & out of the court room & I highly recommend him.

He can make a criminal look like father of the year

I have been going through a three year long custody battle with the ex-husband. The ex-husband got a dui while we were married. Busted up my computer, dishwasher in front of the children. Has never been forced to take a drug test although I have swore under oath he had drug problems during our marriage which he did. He has some how managed to keep me under supervised visits for three years as if I am a criminal due to our open ended parenting plan. That states I can see my daughter at any and all times we agree. I graduated high school, I have some college trying to represent myself, He has managed to make a dedicated, good, loving mother look like a fruit cake. Because it isn't important that I raised her for the first five years of her life. What is important, is I didn't pay him to represent me. So yes a great lawyer indeed!

Great custody Attorney for fathers especially in complex cases

I was referred to Mr Stagg to discuss a custody case that evolved me, my 5 children and my ex-wife. The case was very unusual and required exceptional experience and legal expertise. In the end we where successful and we owe it to Mr Stagg.

Larry Stagg

Mr Stagg is a wonderful attorney. We have hired him several times for our son. Our granddaughter was in foster care and he was able to get her out and get us custody of her. He helped me when my mama passed away. I would never consider another attorney for any legal problems. He's very intelligent and knows his job. If you need a attorney call Larry Stagg. He's the best. He talks to you and really is considered with any problem you have. He's the best. I can't say enough great things about this man. Call him either anything you need and he will get the job done.

He is amazing!

He knows what he's talking about. He is honest and straight forward. This man has helped me at my lowest point in life. I am very thankful I found him. And with everything he has done for my divorce case and child. Everything I have asked, he makes happen. His staff is wonderful and caring. I love April!

Won Winner beat the odds

Larry handled my divorce which went well but I had a weak case for custody and it was still close. When my X decided to move to Seattle WA. she filed for a modification and we went to court and Larry pulled out the miraculous victory. His courtroom presence was powerful and convinced the judge to change custody from the mother to the father (Me). 93% of the time the mother retains custody so you can see what a victory this was. Larry will tell you how it is and he knows what he is doing. I found him to be trustworthy. I have recommended him to several friends and all have had very positive results.

Definitely recommend Larry Stagg

Mr. Stagg handled our case with complete professionalism and efficiency. He made my husband and I feel at ease and prepared us well. He knows the law and we could tell he was well prepared to represent us in court. I highly recommend Mr. Stagg; we will certainly use him in the future should anything else arise (but of course, we hope it doesn't!).

I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND LARRY STAGG

I have used Larry Stagg for 2 years now and I would not want to use anyone else but him. Larry Stagg has prepared me for court and given me realistic expectations of the outcome. He has always made sure that my child's best interest is put first.

Best lawyer and have had several

Handled things in timely manner and got the job done.Isn't the cheapest attorney for its worth the money to get things done right.

Mr. Stagg did a good job

Mr. Stagg took on a case for me and it was not an easy case , It involved a lot of items that went into detail and was hard to prove. We had to hire an engineering firm to go thru the structure and give their opinion on what was wrong . The other side had more money and a lot more lawyers but Mr. Stagg helped me to defend my case. We are at the close of the case and I am happy with Mr. Stagg and his staffs performance. Mike K

Got the job done

It was an uncontested case so there wasn’t much to do on their part. I had to reach out a couple of times for documentation corrections and it seemed to take longer than average. All the documents weren’t sent and I had to schedule another meeting with the father to get items notarized. Lawyer was late for court on the day of hearing, almost 2 hours so we ended up being pushed to the back of the docket. But in the end, custody was awarded.

Worst attorney ever

Went to this attorney for help with a divorce and custody case. He only responded when money was displayed. If he wasn’t paid, he didn’t work. He is a great paper pusher, and does so in order to charge you and drag everything out longer. Never would recommend him to anyone, I lost my everything because he wouldn’t work.

Response from Lawrence Stagg October 3, 2017

My office (my staff & myself) go to great lengths and strive for the highest level of service possible in each client's case(s). There are no two clients or cases that are the same; all issues/matters/needs are taken in-stride and dealt with in an efficient and professional manner. As with most professions, payment is required for services requested, rendered and/or needed by client(s)/customer(s). Lastly, keep in mind, as Terry Waite said, "Sometimes the wheels of justice grind slowly." Also, as Robert Lloyd said, "Slow and steady wins the race."
