Advice helped me recover $7000!!!

I had a issue with a builder not rendering services after receiving money. I asked Larry his advice on how to get my money back. The builder had become unresponsive to phone calls, letters, and texts. Larry sought to understand my problem, showed great concern, and helped provide direction. His ad...vice allowed me to get the money back in a timely manner and without much problem. Larry is professional, kind, caring, and attentive to the problem. He was a good listener and diligent to the issue. I highly recommend Larry. I have dealt with other lawyers before but none as personable as Larry and actually enjoyable to deal with. Thank you Larry!

Professional and Considerate: Roberts Exceeds Excellence

If you should ever find yourself in need of an attorney, and you want someone who is at the top of his profession, Larry Roberts is in a league of his own. He provides extraordinary representation to his clients with his legal knowledge and skill. During my experience I felt most impressed with his... promptness in responding and keeping me informed about the status of my case. Larry's courteous and confident manner is always reassuring whether in or out of the courtroom. As a client, you can feel certain about the decisions you make because Larry will present all the information to you and advise you to make the right decision which you know is in your best interest. He is a formidable adversary, yet enjoys the respect and admiration of his peers because of his courteous, considerate and professional manner. You can confidently leave all your concerns of your legal matters with him and rest assured you have the very best support and representation. Most of all, Larry will always be available to you when you need him; you may feel like you are his most important client.....and that is a unique experience.

"I have known Larry since he opened his office in Kingsport. His practice has grown due his admirable and zealous representation of his clients. No matter how difficult the cases may be, Larry always sticks with his client. His integration of technology into his case presentation has been impressive, both to the court, mediators and most importantly opposing counsel. Larry demonstrates his commitment to his cases by mentoring with highly successful, nationally known litigators. Larry has taken a one lawyer office and turned it in to a very successful and lucrative law practice. His wife has always been his office manager and they remain a most dynamic, loving team that has reared successful children and built a successful and long standing law practice. I can pay Larry no higher compliment."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
