Dissatisfied client

No, do not use for family/divorce lawyer. Did not keep me well informed, did not go over spouses responses on a petition before court, was unprepared for court hearing.

DO NOT Use for Family Law

I cannot speak to his ability in other areas, however in Larson in weak in the area of family law. In my case he was reprimanded by the Judge for overcharging for fees. He also denied receipt of several payments. He however, will keep you informed.

Knowledgable, reliable and dependable lawyer

Mr. Larsen handled the estate of my deceased parents. He assisted my family in a professional manner, explaining all the steps along the way. This was a very trying time for my family and Mr. Larsen's professionalism was greatly appreciated. My family has continued to work with Mr. Larsen to obtai...n health care power of attorney and a will on my sister's behalf. Mr. Larsen has also worked on behalf of another family member regarding a matter of debt collection. We all have positive feedback regarding his handling of these legal matters and will continue to utilize his services in the future for all of our legal needs.
