An Incredible Attorney You Can Trust

When I realized I needed the services of a divorce attorney I turned to family members in the legal community and they highly recommended Larry Gillespie, saying he was who they trusted with their own family court matters. The recommendation was not only because he is an incredible attorney, but bec...ause he a truly nice person who cares about his clients. Larry represented me in what can only be described as an incredibly challenging, high conflict divorce and his advice throughout the case was spot on. I literally trusted my entire future to him and I could not have gotten a better result. At each point in the case Larry kept me focused where I needed to be, while he kept the process moving with an eye on the end goal. Larry is a consummate professional and his years of experience were invaluable, as he always knew the right approach in dealing with other parties in the case, including judges, opposing counsel, guardians, etc. I always felt comfortable that we were prepared for each step in the case and had a solid plan to get the best results. Most importantly, after talking to many other people who have gone through family court, I realized that Larry's responsiveness to my emails and phone calls seems to be the exception rather than the norm. Larry never failed to respond in timely manner when I contacted him with my concerns and always provided me with well thought out, succint guidance. Cannot recommend him highly enough!!
