Exceptional Long Distance Service!!!

We were in need of an attorney located in Michigan to help us dispose of family property in the state of Michigan. This involved several family members and most living in different states. We contacted Mr. Lacey to see if he could represent us in this matter to help resolve the multiple issues that ...were involved in the selling of this acreage. Through his diligence and resourcefulness along with many long distance phone conversations, he was able to effectively help us liquidate this property. We could never have accomplished this without Mr. Lacey's help, diligence and trust, especially handling this matter long distance. We unfortunately never personally met, but I feel as though I have known him for a very long time. I highly recommend his services to anyone! I can never thank him enough for handling this sensitive matter in such a professional way!!!

Great referral

Larry was a guiding light into the Probate Court system as I was faced with dealing with a family member's estate. Thankful for the good advice I got from Larry....He prepared paperwork and forms that saved me multiple trips to the Court.

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.
