In the field of family law, many attorneys promote themselves as "sharks" and tough negotiators. Lawrence Datz is different. He takes great pride in the success he's had achieving resolutions where both parties remain friendly and the family as a whole is better off for it. He's a caring, extremely professional attorney. I strongly recommend Datz & Datz.

Mr. Datz is not only an expert in knowing the law and but also is one of the most kind and compassionate hardworking lawyers I have ever observed. He was calm and cool and collected in expaining how two overlapping cases would develop and never waivered in his confidence in the outcome which ended good for an extremely complicated situation. He is not only an excellent attorney but one of the most humane persons we know. I will always be thankful for his hard work. He literally saved my family and we shall always be humbled by his efforts.
