Best Family Lawyer
I hired Mr. Haines in 2013 to handle a divorce. I was living in my car and my husband was in our house. He had filed a restraining order against me and had me kicked out. Mr. Haines was able to get the restraining order thrown out and i was awarded alimony along with an order to sell the house and split the proceeds. In addition, my husband had to pay my attorneys fees. Hire this attorney. His is skilled, compassionate and friendly.

Great trial attorney
Larry represented me as plaintiff in a breach of contract/fraud dispute. His thoroughness in discovery and his tenacity in the court room led to the case being settled after 4 hours in trial. I can highly recommend. Larry is a great attorney and a great person.

Custody case
Mr Haines took my case when my chances to win were low due to TRO placed against me by the mother of my child. His firm had other lawyers working for him: Pasha, Mr Haines and Ms Phinney they all three took turns on my case. They respected my right to speech and listen to my complicated situation aggravated by the mother of my son trying to reduce my visitation. Although I did not get all the custody I was looking for I was able to achieve 30% thanks to his intervention.

"I endorse this lawyer. I have interacted with Laurence Haines on numerous matters. He knows the law, he knows procedure, and he is a staunch advocate for his client. He doesn't back down yet he doesn't lose his temper. His manner in deposition is aggressive but he usually has a strong counter to any objection. I would much rather be on his side than against him."
