Robert Joseph La Rocco

$7,000 wanted $10,000 for a hearing, postponed the first one because he was not prepared. This after calling him 20 times to see if he had gotten prepared. 110% lost the hearing and was supposed to Appel but didn't even do that correctly, told us we had 1 year to appeal still. All a lie. Ruined our l...ives.

Retained Robert August 2012 for a simple bankruptcy. We did all our counseling stuff and went on front of the trustee in Sept 2012. Robert assured us it was complete. Find out in 2014 that it was not completed and started the epic run around with him for over two years. Saw him in September promising... he would have a date for us by October that never came. Finally consulted another attorney to find out that since August has sanctions against him preventing him from doing bankruptcies. He neglected to tell us anything knowing full well that he could not perform in the capacity he was hired for. He could have bloody told us rather than continue to string us along. He stopped his malpractice insurance Feb 2016 so suing him is not an option even though he's had $1000 of ours for over 4 years. Looks like small claims court is all we can do. We have filed a grievance with the Washington State Bar Association. [redact] if you'd like any information about it and/or add your name to it. Robert is a fraud of monumental proportions, plain and simple. Stay as far away from this guy as possible.

Paid him upfront for a bankruptcy, he never returned calls or emails. Failed to show up for court TWICE!! His office closed down and he was nowhere to be found. Filed a police report and the police told me they'd received other complaints about Larocco similar to mine. STAY AWAY FROM THIS MA...N!

I had to pay upfront for his services. Which I didn't realize at the time was so he could have my money and take his time to do my business. Which was a non-contested divorce. After my ex and I both signed the paperwork and everything was a go he told me he had filed the paperwork with the courthouse... and the divorce was final. I looked online at the WA courts and there was no record of my divorce. I contacted the courthouse and they said there was no record of my divorce. I couldn't get a hold of Robert for weeks. It took 2 months for him to just turn the paperwork in for us and repeatedly lied to us about doing so. Before all the paperwork was filed he would ignore my phone calls and emails. It would take weeks to get a hold of him. I am warning you; do not go to him. He is inexpensive for a reason.
