This Man is an UPSTANDING ATTORNEY ... Hurry up and retain him while you can

Larry was first appointed to me as a public defender back in the early 90's. Later after that, I ended up retaining him on something else. I have always respected and had a fond admiration for Mr .Phelan. He is a stand up guy and really knows what he's doing with over 40 years of experience to vouc...h for him. I would never hesitate to have him represent me no matter what type of case big or small. He's the guy who will be straight 100% honest with you and won't sugar coat anything. Thanks Mr .Phelan.

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.
