Jonathan David Larose

A divorce is never a fun process. Mine lasted 2 years thanks to Covid. However, I am so happy that I hired Mr. Larose's law firm. My attorney was Ms. Hurleen Sidhu. She is an outstanding attorney that is smart, professional and aggressive when she has to be. My X's attorney was an old school, de...lay tactics - smoke and mirrors-type of attorney that cost me a ton of fees and stress. I believe that was their tactic; to outspend me or make me give in to their BS demands. Ms. Sidhu was able to handle this attorney and made sure that my best interests prevailed. I highly recommend her. I will say that this law firm is not cheap. But like everything in life, you get what you pay for.

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.

I came to Mr. Larose's office almost three years ago from a very bad and very long marriage. My ex was emotionally abusive, manipulative, extremely controlling, and I had been married to him for 31 years. I had no self-confidence or self-worth and was at the end of my rope. When I talked to Mr. La...rose, for the first time, in such a long time, I felt I was worth something; I was worth fighting for because he listened to me - really listened, and took notes. He and his team were completely on my side. I felt empowered because I learned I had rights I didn't even know I had. He was truthful and did not sugar-coat my situation. He made me work gathering files and information he would need. He respected my wishes completely and he and his team kept me informed throughout. My ex and his lawyer dragged the settlement on for a long time and it has only just finished. Mr. Larose got a settlement for me that far exceeded my expectations. Through the three-year ordeal, Mr. Larose made sure I understood everything, followed every avenue of defense, kept me informed, protected me in the settlement agreement and personally corresponded with me or called even though I moved out of state. He is thorough, protective of his client, extremely knowledgeable, exacting, and very honest. I will miss his frequent emails. Mr. Larose and his team have my highest recommendation. They made a difference in my life.
