Professional Attorney

I've had 2 employment issues over the last handful of years. Larry and his partner Mike Elliott worked hard to win both of my cases. I know my issues were tiny in comparison to the other cases I'm sure they were handling, but they always promptly returned my calls and were patient to explain what wa...s happening. I highly recommend them both. They were extremely trustworthy and tenacious in regards to my cases, but always professional.

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.
