This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Divorce

As a Healthcare Professional and a Marine, Lawrence came highly recommended . He was professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and transparent on my upcoming divorce. He stated and outlined what we were going to do and possible outcomes. He took down my needs and preferred outcomes and we went from the...re. He fully explained all the possible outcomes I would have in my case considering the complexity. He broke-down where all the money was spent and regularly updated me on my case. If I had a question he was readily available to answer them through call or text. If you like an experience attorney that has the integrity and the balls to fight for you then this is the individual.

Well Recommended Lawyer

Mr. Markey from the beginning was very honest and forthwright. He handled my case quickly and was able to get the judgment I needed. He was very personable, smart, answered all of my questions quickly, verbally strong when he needed to be and honest. He gave you the good and the bad but at least I kn...ew what I was getting myself into. Highly recommend him.

Defending trustee of an irrevocable trust

Lawrence steped in to take the case shortly before the trail date after previous attorney resigned due to conflict of inerest. Was quick to get to the issues and worked well with plantiff's attorney in resolving the dispute. Results: all allegations were dismissed with prejudice. I was greatly pleas...ed in that I was resident outside of California.

My experiance

Lawrence is an extremely knowledgable in all aspect of his field. He is ready and able to take care of any situations that may arise. He has a very competant and reliable assistant (Kerry) which helps his practice as well. I would Highly recomend him for this type of Law

Exceptionally reliable, professional and trustworthy

Lawrence is exceptionally reliable and trustworthy. I hired him to settle my divorce. First off, he's a good, compassionate listener. Before hiring him, he was willing to spend some time with me to understand my situation and goals. There were some contentious issues with my divorce, but I also wa...nted a quick settlement. Considering my ex and I own a home and have 2 small children, this was no small feat. He focused on the pros/cons of each issue and provided his perspective based on previous experiences. He provided just the right amount of guidance without imposing too much direction. At the end of the day, my ex and I both felt that we reached a quick and fair settlement. We wouldn't have accomplished this without Lawrence's help....thank you!

"Larry is an absolute stand-up guy. He's as honest as the day is long, thus distinguishing himself, at the outset, from a great majority of the legal profession. He's tough as nails, but also knows how to work through a problem without conflict. He's a very multifaceted lawyer, and I'm proud to call him a friend and colleague."
