Competent, caring and professional team

Bankruptcy is overwhelming and stressful. Larissa and her staff are understanding, very knowledgeable, and respectful. Larissa answers any questions in a timely manner with explanations that are clear.

Very knowledgeable

My husband and I filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy last year and after calling many lawyers we decided on Larissa. She was very knowledgeable and helped us get through it. She answered all our questions and always made sure we understood everything and what was going on. The process for us took about 6 ...months from our first appointment to the final closure. I would recommend her to anyone looking to file for bankruptcy and live around the Gaylord area. She always got back to me in a timely manner either through a phone call or e-mail.

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.
