Posted by Danette | March 17, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

Exceeded all my expectations!

I hired Steve to represent me as a client who lives out of state. I was not receiving child support for 3 children and struggling to make ends meet. It was a battle that I wasn't sure I would win. I was skeptical at first having to trust someone I had not met in person yet representing the most imp...ortant parts of my life. Steve worked hard to seek the best possible solution at all times. In the end, he exceeded what I thought was possible. I will always be thankful that he worked with me and brought a new version of justice I had never experienced in my divorce. I would highly recommend his services!!

Lots of experience with Mr. Larson - I highly recommend him.

I have retained Mr. Larson on three occasions over the past 10 years. First for a divorce which involved child custody issues, 2nd when the opposing party sought to change the custody arrangements, and most recently when my children's grandparent sued us for visitation rights. Each time, Mr. Larson ...fought for me and my children with professionalism, compassion, legal skill and wisdom. These were very scary and difficult times for me, and in each case Mr. Larson counseled me and helped me to focus on the strengths in our case and guided me in finding weaknesses in theirs. Mr. Larson and his staff are very responsive when you need them and kept me aware of each development in the cases as they occurred. I was also very pleasantly surprised at how skilled Mr. Larson is in the courtroom. When it came time for trial, Mr. Larson helped to bring the best out of my testimony and evidence and exposed the lies and holes in the opposing party’s testimony and evidence. He was also able to turn their evidence against them in some cases much to their surprise. He is extremely talented at cross examination, putting them at ease and getting them to say things they may not have wanted to say. Lastly, Mr. Larson conducted himself at all times with professionalism and integrity. In all three of my cases, we left court with wins in regards to the key points of the cases, and in some instances “very big wins”. Not only did he help me win, but we were able to leave the courtroom with our heads held high having used the laws and the facts rather than threats, lies and other dirty tactics. In the points where we did not “win” I feel I was well prepared by Mr. Larson and knew that there were some instances when the law may not support what we hoped for in our hearts. I take my children very seriously, and I highly recommend Mr. Larson to anyone involved in child custody, divorce, or other family law issues.

A great comfort

My divorce wasn't "messy." There were, however, some issues that needed resolving. Mr. Larson handled everything with total professionalism. He and his staff made sure I received copies of all documents and helped me understand the process. Even when I was digging in my heels, Mr. Larson took the... time to explain his viewpoint and tried to understand mine. In the end, we avoided court by both sides giving in a little. I know that would not have happened if Mr. Larson had not been my attorney.

Lost Everything

He has a temper and made obscene remarks. I lost my case and my ex received everything due to his arrogant demeanor. Will never use his services again, nor will I recommend him, to my ex even.
