Larry A. Catlin

Larry Catlin has helped me multiple times over the past several years. He is quite knowledgeable regarding family law and I have consulted with him about other areas of law. Larry is up front, tells you exactly how things are going, what you need to do and what to expect. He does not sugar coat an...ything. I have the utmost confidence in Larry's ability to fight and win your case. His fees are reasonable and he works for every dime he's paid. He returns calls in a timely manner, even on weekends. I have recommended Larry to several people. People have told me that you don't want to be on the opposing side of Larry! I believe this to be true!

Initial correspondence was promising as a lot of talk. Actions proved to be much more different. Each time going into court, I would have to give him "Cliff's notes" about the case. Did not properly represent my intentions at all. On one occasion he made a calculation error when talking to the judge ...and we had to go back to court in order to correct the issue. Of course, Larry billed for the time he spent on correcting the error. As for the documentation, Larry seemed to be quite okay with letting the other lawyer draw up the documentation for the judge to sign. For some reason, each time that happened, the documents did not exactly reflect what the judge decided on. Larry did not seem to review for correctness and did not contact me to check for correctness before presenting it to the judge for signature. It is funny how the court records do not correspond with the court orders that were signed by the judge. When brought up on contempt of court charges as I followed the court's decision, Larry did not even respond to any of my attempts to contact him. As a matter of fact, he demanded more money to continue to represent me. This would definitely be one situation where a lawyer lives up to the stereotype.
