Incredibly supportive during negotiations and closing process
I highly recommend working with Larry Lobb and his team. They are extremely supportive and a true advocate for me. I would not hesitate to work with Larry again. My experience was very positive throughout the entire process of buying my home and during the closing. We hit a few bumps in the road with the seller and lender but Larry and his team saved the day every time. His team is very knowledgeable and I learned a lot from them.

Highly recommend Lawrence W/ Lobb
My husband and I recently had the unfortunate experience of going through legal matters that we never thought we would have to do. Larry was wonderful in helping us understand everything we needed to and made certain we crossed our T's and dotted our I's to ensure it went through accurately and efficiently. I highly recommend working with Larry on legal matters. We will definitely reach out to him again when we need to in the future.

A Lawyer Who Doesn't Give Up
I was referred to Lawrence Lobb through a third party, who I know well, and I am so pleased that he was the lawyer that I was referred to. Lawrence was never judgmental, which most people, who go through a bankruptcy are fearful of, and he always had a positive outlook on my situation, even though there was a possibility that I might not qualify for Chapter 7. Even though I started the bankruptcy process with Lawrence, I got overwhelmed with all of the documents I needed to collect in the middle of that process, and I stopped communicating with him. He could of very easily "written me off", but he didn't. He contacted once, and when a few months went by without me getting back to him, he contacted me again, which I what I needed to give me the will to finish the work I started and complete the process. Once I finished the paperwork needed to file, Lawrence took me through the entirety of that work, so that I fully understood what was going to presented and how that would probably be received by the court system. When we got to court, Lawrence fully briefed me as to what would most likely occur, so that I was prepared to answer any questions that might be asked of me. I truly appreciate the way Lawrence handled my case and me personally; and, anyone, who hires him, will get not only an extremely competent lawyer, but a person who cares about his client as well.

He was beyond great throughout the process.
I cannot think of one bad thing about Larry or his team, they are honestly are the best. I was very stressed, upset and scared of having to go through a bankruptcy. He was so calm and understanding of my feelings - I have worked for lawyers and have never seen that kind of attention, other Lawyers are rude and rush through everything. I had gotten a consultation a couple of months back and when I went back ready to file he very calmly explained the whole process all over again and made me feel like everything was going to be ok. Even when he had already explained everything I would get an email from him or his assistant Rachel, who is also great, explaining everything all over again. Whenever I called, my call was returned within hours. Before the hearing he went over the whole filing in detail and he answered every single one of my questions. He explained in detail how the hearing would go. At the hearing I was very stressed but he explained exactly how the hearing would go and I felt a lot better. He is simply a one in a million, you will have a very hard time finding such a caring Lawyer.

Relieving experience
Initially, my husband and I went in for a consultation, but after feeling at peace with our decision and with the expertise that Larry showed, we decided to hire him. It was clear he was knowledgeable in this area and was passionate about helping others with a fresh start. We were so grateful he took the time with us to explain the process in detail, but made it simple for us to understand. If we had any questions or concerns, he would always respond in a timely manner. Larry and his firm relieved as much stress as possible for us considering the situation.

Review of my experience with Larry Lobb
The decision to file for bankruptcy was not an easy one, but an unforeseen hospitalization left me with no other options. After much research, I found Larry and read about his experience and credentials. At our first meeting, I knew I had made the right decision. Larry was informative, professional, calming and empathetic. He was very helpful in defining the process, explaining all the steps and what to expect. I am very grateful for his expertise and professionalism . He took an experience that could have been very distressing and made it informative, respectful and liberating.

Quick and easy, thorough and friendly
Larry recently helped my wife and me incorporate our business as an LLC. Larry is very approachable, and explained things to us clearly and in easily understandable language. He communicated with us throughout the process. Larry also recently represented our daughter and son-in-law in the purchase of their first home. They also were appreciative of the clear explanations he provided in what can be an overwhelming and intimidating process.

Awesome, personable, professional & respectful person & attorney
The services provided by Larry were very professional, efficient, timely and also compassionate for my situation. His services did not stop there. As other circumstances presented themselves during the time Larry was representing me, he was quick to help me find guidance & resources for those issues as well. He helped though these things were not directly related to the case in which he provided services for. I also received help from those in which he referred me too. I very much appreciate the services he provided & all the help he offered. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone in need.

Simply the BEST!!!
I came to Mr. Lobb stressed and depressed, burdened with insurmountable debt. He explained the entire process to me from start to finish and answered all my questions (And I had many!!!!). I never felt rushed in and out of his office, once he received his fee. He sat and talked with me and engaged me as a person. Every time I met with him he was always punctual, professional and impeccably dressed. The staff was also very helpful, knowledgeable and professional. It was simply the best possible experience I could have hoped for, under the circumstances. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH LARRY!!!

EXCELLENT experience with this attorney!
After consulting with two other attorney's prior to finding Larry we were so fortunate to come across Mr. Lobb and his firm. From the very beginning, Larry made us feel comfortable as he was extremely well versed with his knowledge in bankruptcy cases, particularly in our somewhat complicated case. He and his staff were accessible when needed, response time was quick. He was also very personable and we felt as though we were not just another number to him. We will absolutely use Mr. Lobb's services again and we would highly recommend him to others.

Larry Lobb = A good decision toward a fresh start!
According to the dictionary, an attorney is one who is legally appointed to transact business on another's behalf. Larry is an attorney, by definition, and so much more to those who retain his service. His knowledge and professionalism combined with a sensitivity to his client reflect the true spirit of his work. My experience was positive from our first phone conversation to the end result. I would not hesitate to contact him or his firm for any future legal matters.

Great Attorney!
Mr. Lobb is a very knowledgeable attorney and provides all the information to understand the legal process. My husband and I were very satisfied with the services provided to us by Mr. Lobb. He took all the time needed to be sure we understood all of the information involving our situation. Mr. Lobb knows the laws regarding bankruptcy and financial dilemmas, and gave us sound advice. He took us through the step by step process to help us deal with our situation, and he always returned our phone calls and e-mails promptly. Mr. Lobb's assistant and office staff were always very kind when we called and he wasn't available. An attorney friend referred us to Mr. Lobb, and we are very satisfied with the legal advice and services we received. We will definitely refer others needing his services to Mr. Lobb.

Spectacular attorney who's best interest is his clients!
Lawrence is by far the most professional attorney I have had the pleasure to work with. His knowledge of the law and understanding of clients, makes a difficult process seem flawless. His compassion and trustworthiness has made the most stressful moments easier. Not that I would want to go through a situation like this again, but if I had to, I would be calling Mr. Lobb again. Thank you Lawrence for all that you did and all you do for your clients.
