Larry Forman

In 2019, I hired Larry Forman based on his strong, online presence and almost 100, 5-star reviews. At my first meeting with Larry, without even looking at any of the evidence in my case, he said he could definitely win my case at trial. However, Larry never had any intention of taking my case to tr...ial. The only thing Larry did was reschedule my trial date for over 6 months without my knowledge or consent. Larry never showed up to court himself, but instead, had his associates come on his behalf whom I had never met. Plus, he never told me he was not coming to court himself. Therefore, a few times, I went to court looking for Larry even though he told me that I did not need to attend any of the court dates. Our communications were limited to email or text which I initiated, and he never called me to discuss my case which I think is very unprofessional. Later that year, Larry emailed me and said that he still planned on taking my case to trial to which I agreed. This same month, he set up the first phone appointment with me to discuss my case, over 6 months after I hired him. However, I was shocked that Larry called me while he was at the airport, going on vacation, so the background was very noisy and not private. During this conversation, I was flabbergasted that Larry totally changed his tune and told me that he did not think we would be successful at trial, and I would need to find another attorney because I questioned this. Next, in November 2019, there was a major issue that arose because I did not attend the very last court date because Larry did not tell me to attend. To my surprise, Larry emailed me that I should have shown up to court because there was a bench warrant for my arrest, but he refused to help me. He said I needed to hire a new attorney to get this bench warrant set aside and to take my case. I have 11 emails, from Larry, over a 6 month time period in which he clearly stated that he is taking my case to trial. He never said I did not have a triable case until over 6 months after I hired him. Larry blames these issues on an associate whom he fired. However, Larry is the only one I communicated with. Of course, Larry has tried to discredit my reputation and this honest review by saying things about me that are untrue. Larry gave me a refund because he did not do the job he was paid to do, and he didn't want me to leave him a bad review. Why would any attorney give their client a full refund if they truly believed they did the job they were hired to do? Lastly, Larry never did work for me for free. His miscommunication is why I received the bench warrant, and he only helped me because I threatened to leave him a bad review. Google will not allow me to add the 13 emails with Larry as proof.

I appreciate all efforts Attorney Evan Bates extended while representing me. I feel he brought me justice in my court case. I was experiencing anxiety every moment in the courthouse, but Attorney Evan Bates was extremely professional, kind and patient with me explaining details of pleadings and demon...strated exceptional stewardship of my case through the entire process. I cannot express how grateful I am that Evan had the awareness & sharp observation to catch the police irregularities that brought justice to my case. Additional observation is that Stephanie Kelley, Firm’s Administrator, was always friendly and patient whenever I had any scheduling or minor questions. Larry Forman is extremely fortunate to have Atty. Evan Bates and Firm Admin. Stephanie Kelley on his team. I’m happy to report that I had little interaction with Larry Forman himself, as a voicemail he left me was very unpleasant, unprofessional, laced with intimidation and revealed a very awful demeanor on his part. This occurred after I conveyed my hesitancy to pay the final 1/4 of the agreed amount until my case was concluded, which I thought was appropriate and reasonable although he did not.

They don’t have a office and paid the lawyer for a bail hearing and for $2,500.00. I got 2 calls to me and 1 appearance in court online. Told judge my wife has COVID and working from home. NEVER TALKED TO MY SON THE CLIENT. Claimed he filed this and that paperwork Don’t WASTE YOUR MONEY. I know when ...I’m lied to about what my money was spent on. Go to Cox, he has a office and will do his job.

I believe Larry Forman, Esq, of Forman & Associates is brilliant. My family experienced some devastating events and I needed an attorney for several reasons. He sincerely helped me get through some very rough times. I don't want to go into details about everything, but he got criminal charges against... me and my husband dismissed with prejudice and Larry was by my side, fighting to help me keep my professional license. Through it all he worked hard for me and my family. He was professional, confident, caring and flat out amazing. I know that even though we did not win in every incidence, he did everything he could for me. He is straight forward and honest and he was blunt with me when I needed it. Even to this day he is there for me when I need him. I honestly do not know what I would have done without him. I wish I could put it into words how much I truly appreciate what he has done for me and my family.
