Thanks a million times over.....happy dad!

The mother of my son and I have been in court a year to date fighting over the custody of our 14 year old son. Once I got engaged and moved in with my fiance (now wife) she told me I couldn't see him again. Prior to my engagement I always had our son and his little brother (her child from a previou...s relationship) to help her out. I went from always seeing my son (prior to engagement), to never seeing my son, to eight hours a week on the weekend, to 50/50 in the summer time, to extended standard and now full custody. Larry is an exceptional and well respected attorney. In the beginning I was so angry about what was going on and Larry advised me to keep my cool and let him "be the attorney". There aren't enough words to describe the joy I feel coming home every day to my son and having our family complete. Thank you, thank you, thank you Larry for all you have done and are doing! Highly recommended.

Fast , Professional, Honest and accessible. Best Hague convention  lawyer in Texas.

Mr. Garcia represented me in a manner that made my experience the best it could have been under these circumstances. Lawrence accepted my calls during the week and weekends. He was in constant communication with me even when he was out of country in Europe, family vacation, etc. I never felt like I d...id not know what was going on in my case. Mr. Garcia surpassed my high expectations for my Parental Child Abduction / Hague application return case. He even worked on weekend and completed my case. He was very professional and very accessible to my questions regardless of what time or day it was... I will use his services and be his client forever. Completed my case in a extreme short time period and saved me a lot of money. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Child custoday case

4 years ago, per my divorce decree, my ex-wife was awarded primary custody of our daughter. My ex always gave me trouble for visitation/possession times, but I worked around her demands and orders to avoid confrontation. I did it for my child. Once she got remarried, my ex and her husband fabrica...ted grotesque allegations of abuse, filed charges against me and filed suit to remove me from my daughter's life. Along the way, they coached my daughter and used unscrupulous therapists to file repeated appeals with CPS. Before I called Mr. Garcia, I spoke to few attorney's in San Antonio, they either scared me of how bad things can be or asked for exorbitant consultation fees just to discuss the case. I feel extremely lucky to have found Mr. Garcia. First he calmed me down, inquired particulars of my case and provided initial consultation. I retained him as my counsel the same day. He is an excellent attorney, easy to communicate via text(SMS), email or phone and always responded to my requests promptly. If he is at the court house or at a trial, his office staff were able to get my message to him promptly. Our case went on for 6 painful months, during which time my ex, her husband and their counsel went to extraordinary measures to alienate me from my daughter. However, Mr. Garcia was able to establish interim visitation, regular phone/skype with my daughter. Our case culminated with a jury trial and I was awarded sole custody of my daughter. Mr. Garcia is a seasoned professional, with extraordinary legal depth and strategy. We feel fortunate to have him on our side and forever be grateful for his counsel.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 1996.

Fully Probated Suspension issued in TX, 1996

updated on 05/16/2019

Fully probated suspension means an attorney is technically suspended but may still practice law. The State monitors the lawyer's activities during the suspension to make sure that he or she does not repeat the behavior.

Lawrence’s comment:

“A subsequent jury trial found that Lawrence L. Garcia did not act improperly and exonerated him”
