Integrity and high morals

For the situation where you are not in conflict with the other party, I don't believe you can't ask for a better attorney to work things out fairly for both sides. He will look out for your children's best interests throughout the whole process. I have hired other lawyers and have found few with as... high a level of integrity and good morals [right, you are saying an attorney with integrity and good morals, i am serious, he's that guy] He takes his role as a agent of the court seriously, he won't screw over the other side, so if that's what you are after he's not your guy {my opinion}. He's a nice guy, and actually returns phone calls and emails in a timely manner usually within a day or 2. This is not just at the beginning but all the way through the process. Most attorneys start creeping up to 3 to 5 days, not Larry, sometimes he'll call you back within an hour. Again for an amicable separation or custody issue, you can't ask for a better guy.

Best in the Business

Larry Brock and his staff are highly competent, consummate professionals. As an out-of- state client on the opposite coast, I needed someone who was knowledgeable, reliable, and responsive. My case involved allegations of domestic violence and jurisdictional issues surrounding divorce and custody. I ...spoke to no fewer than a dozen attorneys in the greater Los Angeles area, before obtaining a referral to Larry, and immediately could tell that Larry understood the issues and clearly explained to me what needed to be done. Larry was successful in ensuring jurisdiction for our child custody case remained properly in our son’s home state. Even as my ex-wife and her attorneys repeatedly tried to seek emergency custody by forum shopping in multiple CA courts, Larry was highly responsive in preparing responses and appearing in person to represent me in each instance, sometimes on a day’s notice, ultimately obtaining an award of $10k in sanctions to be paid by my ex AND her attorneys. Larry was also successful getting in the CA court to terminate a restraining order that my wife obtained, exposing it for what it was-- an attempt to leverage a custody outcome. Larry and his staff were also extremely responsive in obtaining transcripts, copies of certified orders, arranging for service, and communicating with my east coast attorney, which ultimately contributed to the award of sole legal and physical custody of our son, to me (father).

Great experience

I hired Larry after receiving recommendations from two friends. Larry was prompt, professional and successfully completed my divorce. He did a great job and I have referred him to two other friends.

"I have worked with Mr. Brock on several cases in the recent past. Mr. Brock has always been very professional in his approach to his cases. It is refreshing to interact with an attorney who (1) knows what they are doing and (2) conducts themselves in a professional manner and takes a proactive approach to settlement in an attempt to bring quick resolution of the case to both parties. I would endorse Mr. Brock, his clients are in competent hands."
