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.

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.

Definitively recommend services

Lawrence was very upfront, clear, and concise in handling my case. I always knew where I stood, and the case resolved favorably with minimal cost. Will definitively use his services again if needed.

Honest, Caring and Very Knowledgeable, yet Surprisingly Aggressive

I was referred to Lawrence by my longtime family lawyer for a Divorce/Separation. I went in for a consult on what was supposed to be a "Easy" separation. He warned me and kept me informed based on his years of experience that it may get rough and not to let my guard down. He was absolutely right and ...he ended up protecting me, my kids and my family from a potentially damaging situation. He was able to get me what was fair and deserved without much of a fight by presenting a clean, concise case to the Judge. Lawrence was very comforting and straight forward and he really was beside me every step of the way. I have referred Lawrence numerous times and I have yet to hear anyone tell me that they were disappointed even slightly with his services. Lawrence's office staff is very easy to talk to and also knowledgeable.

"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."
