Never thought I would be a divorcee, but I am truly thankful Larry Rice and his team represented me. The process was painful on a personal level, but the actual legal process was handled with great care and expertise. Larry, Erin, Susan & Linsey gained my trust quickly and my utmost respect --- a BIG shout out to y'all!!! I couldn't have had better representation! THANK YOU!!!

Larry Rice and his staff have done everything to make my case go as smoothly and as stress free as possible. They always believed in me and supported me whenever I have had any doubts or questions through all of the difficult litigation processes. They stood by my side, and I always felt fully prepared for every court proceeding. I am so blessed to have found Larry and his team. I truly believe no one could ask for a better lawyer.

Larry Rice literally rescued me at the courthouse one day. He helped me navigate thru a difficult divorce with crazy paperwork and a harsh judge. He was so kind and compassionate. He was very knowledgeable, and I never would have made it without him. I would recommend him to anyone!

When one requires the services of a Family Law attorney, they are often at the lowest part of their life. My divorce and ensuing custody fight were far more than business transactions. They were personal. I can point to my relationship with Larry Rice as the turning point in that period of my life. Larry took time to get to know me personally as he learned about the ins and outs of my case. My desires for my life became his desires. My love and concern for my children became his concern. Larry put effort into my case the same as he would as if he were fighting for the future of his own children. Not once did I ever feel like “just a client”. I was always far more. Larry and his entire staff were always attentive to my needs, always put my best interests first, and most of all, fought diligently for me. My burden became theirs. Larry Rice and his able team took that low point of my life and transformed it into a turning point, for me and my children. My friendship exists with him today.

Mr. Rice is a very professional and employs a highly trained team of assistants who both assist him and keep the paperwork flowing to a quick conclusion of my case. Easy to contact if I/you have a question and is very knowledgeable as to how the case will proceed threw the courts.

Being a naive trusting kind of guy, I was getting eviscerated by my soon to be ex-wife. My kids were in danger of moving away across the Country and living with this sociopath. Mr Rice steps in and exposes the facts about this woman who is claiming to be the victim. It was all a very ugly situation. Mr. Rice was always poised, polite, and sharp thoughout the evolution. The end result has been that my kids have spent at least half the time with me and eight years later we're looking at two well rounded Christians and College Scholorships for my oldest who graduates this year. Mr. Rice is not only an excellent lawyer, he is a good friend. Without his help I would have never been able to raise my children.

Larry helped me out with an auto collision claim a while back, he did an excellent job and keep me informed all the way... I have known Larry for over 20 years and he is the type of guy that will do right by his clients.

Understandably I was nervous and scared when I started my divorce proceedings, but Mr. Rice was so kind and patient that soon my fears abated. He explained every little step and guided me through that difficult time, giving me solid, sensible advice all the while. I hope I never need another divorce attorney, but if I do, Larry Rice is the one.
