Lease review and negotiation

We are starting a new small business and having found a retail space to lease we needed legal advice. Larry responded immediately to our call. He reviewed the lease and asked for extra documentation before our first meeting. He negotiated with the landlord and worked out sticking points. In no time... he advised and gave us a lease we could work with. We felt he protected our interests. Larry is genuinely a nice guy. He was very knowledgable and listened to our business needs. He walked us through the whole experience. We liked that he enjoys working with small business. We will definitely contact him with our future business needs.

Have known Larry for 20 years - You can't go wrong!

I have known Larry for the better part of 20 years. He has been a valuable resource to turn to for my small business legal needs from company formation, stock option/profit sharing plans, contracts and any additional legal advisement as required. He is forthright with information and has an uncanny... knack for explaining complex issues that the legal layperson can understand. I would highly recommend Larry for any legal services required.

Highly Recommend Larry

Larry has worked on a number of projects for me. I trust his knowledge and his judgment. He doesn't focus on changing the little, meaningless things in contracts like many lawyers but keeps the bigger picture in mind. He has helped me get to closure on a number of deals and has warned me about the... traps in agreements. It is rare that I don't get his changes to contracts accepted by the other side because they are reasonable. He is exceptionally bright but is never condescending. He is efficient and gets things done quickly. And he's just a nice guy to work with.

A Perfect Fit for Our Business

Over the last 18 years we have used Larry for my small business legal needs. Larry has helped with HR, contracts, acquisitions and other legal matters. He works internally with our company and interfaces directly with our clients. We highly respect Larry and value his advise. He listens, un...derstands and is honest and direct in his opinions. He is detailed in his explanations and presents us with the facts we need to make the right decisions. I would recommend Larry to any business owner or friend.

Outstanding Legal Consultant

Larry has worked with me at two organizations and has provided us with outstanding legal advice and consultation on federal and state regulatory issues as well as numerous contract work, negotiations and reviews. His professionalism and business savvy has benefited us tremendously! His work is impecc...able and his style when working with opposing legal counsel has been direct, calm and informative giving us an advantage. I would highly recommend Larry.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
