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 worked with the Law offices of Jonathan D. Larose since 2013 in my long and messy divorce case. Mr. Larose represented me in the trial and Mrs. Griffith represented me in numerous hearings throughout the case, along with Mrs. Sidhu and Mrs. Benage who have helped in a few key stages. The entire leg...al team rallied all of their expertise and their resources when it mattered -- it takes a huge team effort to get justice prevail. Jonathan's trial preparation was thorough: all important points covered, no detail is overlooked, no angle is missed. He used good legal judgement and winning arguments at the trial, without any surprises. He communicates well and gets his points across in a clear and concise manner, which is very important in a trial. His guidance throughout the case was plain, straightforward, and logical which helped me to understand my case better in legal terms and to make the best possible decision at every point. I worked most closely with Mrs. Griffith, who handled all the court filings, pleadings, declarations, hearings, and interactions with the court throughout the years. She knows the case by heart and helped me defend against numerous frivolous requests and demands. She provided timely updates, kept me informed with the case law, answered my questions in great detail and provided very effective and useful legal counsel throughout the years. These past 8 years taught me how the legal process could be used for abuse and how you need a very competent and effective legal team to work against it. Jonathan, Kristine, and all the attorneys and paralegals (Hi there Mrs. Quintero!) is that competent team. Thank you all for all the guidance in my case.

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 have hired the Law office of Jonathan LaRose in Fremont for both my DV and DM cases spanning from 2013 to 2017. My divorce lasted 4 years and 2 months, I was up against a very bully and extremely calculated Ex-husband. Mr. LaRose and his associates were amazing in their litigation ability, their ...interpretation of the law were very clear, and his paralegal team has done amazing organizing job on my testimony exhibits, pleadings and records. Every pleading and counsel discussion were kept in a superb and organized fashion that can easily retrieve for evidence. I always felt that the LaRose Team always have my back and that give me the strength to face this difficult journey. I would not be able to survive this process without the wonderful and cohesive team from this office. Thank-you Mr. Jonathan LaRose, associates (Ms. Kristine Tornquist) and paralegal team (Gianna Trevisan) and all the office staffs (past and present).
