Highly Recommend

I’m very satisfied with Larry’s services in creating a contract for my small business. I found him to be easy to talk to, professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. I highly recommend him.

Sold Our Own House

We had never sold a house before and much less sold one ourselves. However, Lawrence was awesome. First, he was the only attorney to respond to our online requests (now, with the benefit of hindsight, we are so glad that is how it worked out). After that, his responses continued to be timely. He prov...ided an overview of what to expect and then did a great job keeping us on track with all of the disclosures and other seller responsibilities. Most of our communication was through email which made the process very convenient. His pricing is very reasonable. We would recommend Lawrence without reservation.

Ten star overall rating

Mr. Larry Jensen is very knowledgeable and experienced in litigation of real estate matters. My wife and I highly recommend him. He is the man to hire when you need legal help. He is never over-bearing or arrogant. He is very responsive and pays close attention to even the tiniest details ...which he exhibited in the writing of our settlement. There will not be any loose ends. He was able to negotiate our settlement in a reasonable time and manner with the opposition who was frankly incredulous and of low character. Most of all, Larry actually cares about his clients and works very hard to protect their assets and integrity. He took our case when others turned it down. We will forever be grateful to Larry for representing us.

Hard working attorney

Larry Jensen did a case for me several years ago. While he and I didn't always get along as well as I would have liked, he worked hard and did his best on a very tough case. He was very trustworthy and a solid attorney and I would recommend him.

Recomendation and acknowledgement

Mr. Jensen represented me on several matters and they were all successful. He sued a seller for refusing to give me my commission. and won including lawyers fees and court cost. The seller appealed and he won that argument also. Then he represented me in an arbitration case and won that too. Then he ...represented me in a tenant eviction and won that too. Mr. Jensen is aggressive and very knowledgeable and experienced in real estate matters. I recommend him very highly. He is the man to call when you need legal help.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
