Larry concentrates his practice on the resolution of personal and commercial disputes, having gained broad and varied experience in all courts within the Commonwealth.  His clients range from individuals in the  family law and probate settings, including divorce matters and will contests,  to small business (including other law firms and their members seeking adjudication of  disputes), and corporate clients, from insurance companies to telecommunications based organizations.  When the situation requires, Larry has appeared before and tried his client’s cases in the state’s District, Superior, Probate and Family Courts, as well as the Boston Housing  Court, and the Federal Court in Boston;  he has argued his client’s appeals before the Massachusetts Appeals Court. He is a member of the Massachusetts and Boston Bar Association, and a long standing member of the American Association for Justice (formerly the American Trial Lawyers Association).
