Explained the facts

I called after hours expecting to leave a message and was surprised someone answered the phone. The attorney gave me a chance to explain why I wanted to hire someone. I felt that he was honest with the difficulties of the case rather than telling me what I wanted to hear.

Unprofessional Consultation

I had a very unprofessional experience with this lawyer. I reached out for help with a lawsuit, and instead of providing clear guidance, he focused on a hypothetical scenario where the person I’m suing could countersue—um, duh, anyone could sue anyone. What made it worse was when he said that if a co...untersuit happened, 'he could be the judge,' and I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end. This felt irrelevant and unhelpful, and it wasn’t why I called. I was looking for practical legal advice, not unnecessary hypotheticals and unsettling comments. I would not recommend this lawyer

I don't know who "Jordan" is and I have not been using AVVO for years to communicate with potential clients. In addition, I would never have said ". . . if a countersuit happened, 'he could be the judge,' and I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end." Perhaps this reviewer has confused me with someone else.

Excellent Lawyer!

Since we lived out of state and our legal issue was in California we researched several attorneys and my husband and I decided that we would contact Mr. Henry B. LaTorraca. Words cannot express how grateful that we are to have found him. He is a man of great integrity, extremely professional, and gen...uinely cares for the welfare of his clients. Due to a lengthy estate situation we worked with him for over a year and I would recommend him as a lawyer to anyone who wants an accomplished, polished, and dedicated man to work them through legal situations. He has our utmost trust and regard and we consider him a friend, as well as, an attorney.

Outstanding Attorney

I cannot thank Mr. LaTorraca enough for his superb litigation and negotiation skills in my difficult employment law case against one of the largest corporations in the country who was represented by multiple lawyers in a large, nationally-known law firm and who fought us every step of the way. Mr.... LaTorraca is a hard-working, skillful and aggressive lawyer with integrity who was there when I needed him most and who successfully handled my case. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs legal representation. I also retained Mr. LaTorraca in a subsequent matter which was also successfully handled by him to conclusion.
