Drake Douglas Larson

I hired Mr. Larson to assist me with my divorce. Unfortunately, I slowly discovered Mr. Larson is only interested in how much money he can make off of people. He did not "fight" for me at all and simply told me to take what the other side offered. Every time we spoke he always cut it short and said he had other things to do. He was simply not an advocate for me in anyway. Once I told Mr. Larson I was starting to run low on money, he stopped returning my calls and dropped me as a client. The reality is, I gained nothing by hiring Mr. Larson. I would be exactly where I am today if I had just represented myself. As has been mentioned, Mr Larson does have a bit of a temper and battles impulsivity, which he has a tendency to project onto his clients. I recommend finding someone else.

Drake Larson, I thought you were withdrawing from my case? How are you billing me for another $600 in the second week of October when I just paid you over $2,000 for the first week? You are billing me exorbitantly too much and it’s really ridiculous. I will not be giving you anymore of my money or time. Please withdraw from my case immediately. Also, I’m not the first person you have done this to as I’ve seen your reviews on avvo.com. I’m seriously considering reporting you to the Colorado bar association for malpractice. Your work on my case has been terrible and you have accomplished nothing to my satisfaction. You agreed $1,000 a month was more than enough for your fees after my original $3,500 retainer. This has not been even close to reality. You and your firm are a joke. You should also consider refunding me some or all of my money. You will get nothing but bad reviews from me on every platform I can find.

After waiting 5 days to speak with Mr. Larson regarding new temporary orders, I emailed asking if the treatment I received was his standard practice. He was able to answer that question quite promptly by quitting my case. He has already charged most of the $3000 retainer, but assures me he will send a final invoice with the rest so I can find other counsel before my next court date. His representation was lacking from the beginning and I should have followed my instinct to fire him sooner. He took me halfway through a custody case not remembering my kid's names or any of the key points of the conversations we had. Then he quit when I voiced frustration at his unwillingness to answer pertinent questions. 0/10 would not recommend.

I the petitioner hired Drake Larson for my family law attorney. Come to find out he was representing my estranged husband which was a conflict of interest. Every time I spoke to Drake, he always told me I was going to have to pay alimony to my soon to be ex-husband, which caused a lot of anxiety, I felt like he represented my soon to be ex better than me. Then my ex got another attorney and Drake did everything the other attorney wanted him to do. I fired him and obtained another family law attorney. My new attorney discussed with me all the paperwork which Drake had incorrectly filed with the courts. A very incompetent lawyer.

So I'm going through a messy divorce, called Drake Larson had a very pleasant free consultation he listened seemed to be very enthusiastic about my case.. He gave me his retainer fee, & said no more than a thousand dollars more after that. I came to meet with him the next day to pay him up front.. I politely asked again to verify the $ amount this time the fee was $2000 more than discussed.. I again with my daughter in the room told him very cordially that was not what we discussed. He paused a moment looked up and said are you calling me a liar ? Now keep in mind I'm going through a traumatic time in my life.. I said no sir but that's not what we discussed yesterday. Once again but this time he yells your calling me a liar get out I am not interested.. It was like something out of the Twilight Zone He went nuts.. What the heck is this world coming to My daughter look at me I looked at her and we walked out that guy is a nut case is what we said to each other.. Careful dealing with this attorney. God's honest truth...
