HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I was referred to Larry pilgrim from a friend for my first offense dui. I highly recommend Larry to anyone in need of a lawyer. My experience talking to lawyers about my dui before Larry wasn't so good, they made me feel worse. Once I talked to Larry, he answered every question I had and also gave me... all the information I needed which put me at ease. My first time meeting him was comforting and stress relieving. Larry fought for the lowest slap on the wrist for me, and he got it. Yesterday was the last court date for my case, and I am unbelievably happy with the outcome. If you have a low response time with Larry, don't let it bother you. He has his own life to live on top of all his work. I assure you he will take care of you and make your situation the best possible as he did for me. Thank you so much Larry, I'd be in a heap of chaos without you. I learned a lot from my mistake and I won't be letting it happen again.

No services rendered

This man met with me once to quickly take my credit card ( money.) I never received any fee agreement from him- although I asked several times, and in several ways ( texts, emails phone calls, etc.) When I finally did reach him, he said he had not done anything on my case, as, in his opinion, there w...as nothing (yet) to do. I asked for a full refund and have never received it.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Went for a consultation but read the whole story

We went for a consultation on a Saturday and after that we told him we will think about it and get some more opinions Lerry got all upset and very emotional because we saw him on a Saturday. First of all he tried to overcharge he said $8500 then he came down to $5000 immediately. Larry, you are in a ...business and not everyone will get service from you. He wanted us to do ALL the work even though it was a weak case. Forget him as your lawyer, don’t even waste your time.

Replied last November 21, 2017

Unfortunately I had to throw this man and his two sons out of my office. After insisting on a Saturday appointment, he spent an hour trying to convince me of their innocence while not allowing them to speak or allowing me to see the arrest reports. Suspiciously, the adult sons refused to make eye contact with me as their father, who did not witness the event, adamantly related every tiny detail of an assault by his sons that resulted in several victims being seriously injured. After criticizing the two previous attorneys that quit the case ( worthless, rip-offs, did nothing) and several other attorneys in town he had consulted with,he then begged me to reduce my fee. When he started talking about engaging in witness tampering I had to escort him out the door. I wish his sons the best, but with their father micro managing their defense, I fear it won’t end well for them.

We won our trial !

I hired Larry in March for my criminal case. Larry won my trial last week. He was excellent with the judge, witnesses and jury. If it wasn't for him, I would be sitting in jail now.

This guy is sooooo much better than the rest!!!

I hired an attorney who was the cheapest in town. In the middle of my case, I hired Larry Pilgrim to take over. He was great. He always talked to me, told me what was going on, and explained things to me. I was guilty of the charges but Larry kept me out of jail and got me a great deal. I hope I ...don't have to, but I would hire him again if I needed to. He was great.
