Jonathan David Larose

I retained the Law Offices of Jonathan D. LaRose back in November of 2015. What might have initially appeared as a “quick divorce”—no property, one child, etc.—has since then turned into a lengthy, long-drawn dissolution and custody charade as a result of my daughter’s father. The LaRose team (in...cluding Mrs. Tornquist and supporting paralegals) have blazed trails in areas of law that might be considered less-travelled (ie. “Sovereign citizenship,” vexatious litigants, restricting a person’s access to a courthouse and more). This committed team has worked tirelessly to gain momentum and ground on my case in the areas of dissolution, custody and visitation, and more recently a much-needed domestic violence restraining order. It has been a very long and difficult road, but having the LaRose team, specifically Mrs. Tornquist, working for, and with, me has been pivotal in the legal successes I have gained thus far. It is without hesitation that I would refer anyone seeking Family Law counsel to the Law Offices of Jonathan D. LaRose.

I met Mr. LaRose first time back in 2012. He sounded very confident, knowledgable, and straight to the point. To this day, I'm glad to have retained LaRose law and Mr. LaRose as my main counsel. When it comes to custody and visitation, I want Mr. LaRose on my side. It is a matter of trust! In my c...ase, my ex had filed a 498a case in India and requested the court in the US to send the minor child to India with her permanently. It was an up hill battle to make the judge understand what the case in India meant, the consequences / repercussions in approving her request, my relationship and involvement in my kids life. This is where Mr. LaRose's expert advise, right strategy, and attention to detail came into play. Expanding on the attention to detail... He was with me in court every month for a period of almost two years. He would discuss the case the day before - strategy, what to focus on, possible outcomes, counter arguments, and how I feel about it all, so it was not a surprise to me. He would prep me before every mediation / evaluation session - how to dress, what to focus on, what to bring to the session, how to carry myself, etc... (believe me, all these do matter) and asked me to jot down what happened at those sessions, while it was still fresh. If I forgot, he would remind me. I know it all costs money, but, to this day, the level of attention and care is still worth every penny. Even today whenever I meet him, he inquires about the kid, how he's doing, schooling, and another issues. He even cautions to watch out for certain things as he may noticed with kids in other divorce cases (of course, without divulging any specific information). Like I said, if it is a matter of custody and visitation, I want Mr. LaRose to represent me in court, because it is a matter of confidence and trust! I've known Mr. LaRose and Ms. Trevisan since 2012. I've known Mrs. Tornquist for few years. I'm in good hands and no intentions of finding replacements. Expect things to happen on a timely manner and with proper procedure, without cutting corners. Yes, the outcome... Request to move to India permanently with minor child was denied and additional travel restrictions have been imposed in the best interest of the child.

i was going thru my divorce & child custody case over 10 years ago, at first I went with a Filipina lawyer as she was a referral her name was Mary Gubatina, and she did not handle my case in the best way possible, she was late to our court hearings and just did not do a good job at all. My abusive, d...rug addicted ex husband was granted visitation of our minor children and at the end of the case the judge was pretty much on his side. I was so upset, outraged at the outcome and was so mad about how much money I spent I lost all my faith in lawyers. I vowed to do everything In Pro Per going forward. About a year later my eldest son had an opportunity to play basketball in Los Angeles, and although my ex agreed to let him move, he would often hold it over my head saying that if our son refused to visit with him that he would go to the judge and tell them he did not give permission for him to move out of the county, my eldest son and his father had a very rough relationship. My son witnessed all his abuse towards me and towards himself and his little brother, he did not want to see his dad and refused to spend his weekends with him even though they were court ordered so I decided to take him to court for relocation rights as i was also planning to move to SoCal as well. I was referred to Mr, LaRose from a friend who wasn't even Mr. Larose's client but her ex husband was and he won their case, she referred me to him because she said he was THAT good! I couldn't resist under those circumstances, so I called Mr. LaRose and after our first meeting he reassured me that what I was doing for my children was the right thing and I retained him on the spot. Mr. LaRose not only got the judge to grant our relocation rights but he also got the judge to hear my son out and did not force him to visit with his father, resulting in my ex's visitation rights to our oldest son revoked. it was the best outcome ever and Mr. LaRose really did restore my faith in the judicial system and in lawyers. I am a single mother of 3 boys and i had to work hard and save money in order to retain him but it was completely worth it. and now here i am 12 years later i am in need of a lawyer and i am not hesitating on who i should call. I will be calling Mr. LaRose.

After 18 years, 10 months, 3 days, 2 hours, 54 seconds (but who was counting?) in a less than happy marriage, I'm proud to say I took some advice from a female friend and hired Jonathan LaRose and his staff. You may think you can handle a divorce on your own and it may start off amicable, but the sm...artest thing you can do is hire someone who will protect you, your assets, and your right to time with your kids. The divorce was the toughest thing I've ever been through and I can honestly say that Jonathan, Chelsea, and Lisa kept me sane through it all and helped me get my life back on track. I got a hard working team, honest answers, and quick conclusion at an affordable cost. I've talked to other people about their lawyers and I've heard more horror stories than positives. With JL, you get blunt, honest information without smoke and mirrors and you get a team that's more interested in getting your case done correctly than dragging it out to make money off of you. I've recommend Jonathan to 4 other friends since my case ended and I will continue to recomment them. Male or female with a divorce pending? Choose JL. I only needed a divorce lawyer so I can't speak to JL's other areas of expertise but based on my experience, you can trust him to handle any case.

JL is a no frill, no bs lawyer! I appreciate his straight forward manner and would take it over fluff and pretense any day! He does exactly what he says he's going to do, offers professional legalities that, unless you're an attorney, it's likely you won't have privy to. JL is confident, assuring an...d cost friendly. He also often offers his professional insight for no charge. I have recommended him to any friend in need of attorney services...especially when there are assets, children and an uncooperative spouse involved. You won't be disappointed in Jonathan Larose!
