| Description | Larry’s clients pay for, and expect more, than just another one-dimensional divorce lawyer. His experience ranges from analyzing complicated financial situations to drafting and negotiating premarital, postnuptial and settlement agreements and also litigating every conceivable issue at trial. His years in the arena have taught him how to effectively manage the economic realities of high-stakes divorce litigation. Larry is honest with his clients. It doesn’t sound like much, but there are plenty of lawyers who simply tell clients what they want to hear. At the end of the day, telling clients only the good news ends up costing the client both time and money – eventually hurting their case from a global perspective. Divorce is an emotional roller coaster and his clients need him to be tough. They know he is going to be tough with opposing counsel, but they can also expect him to be tough with them, advising them in a manner which best preserves their rightful portion of the marital community.Case Highlights ABILITY TO SETTLE COMPLEX CASES Early in his career, Larry took over a case with a net estate of well over $50 million. The matter had been pending with another law firm for over two years with very little progress. Larry analyzed the client’s various asset positions, the net liquidity of the estate and some of the failed negotiation tactics of previous counsel. Thereafter, Larry applied a fresh perspective to the case and began to divide the liquid assets and after effectively whittling down the issues, Larry was able to successfully negotiate a deal ending the entire case in less than four months after taking it over – thus proving that it takes a divorce lawyer who can look outside the box and think of creative solutions to complex problems. ABILITY TO THINK QUICKLY IN COURT In a highly acrimonious case which had been pending for almost a year, opposing counsel filed a last minute motion to continue the trial. The motion came at a juncture where the client was anxious to end the dissolution process and a great deal of time and money had been spent preparing for trial. The judge agreed to hear the motion the same morning as it was filed, leaving Larry with little time to prepare. Larry remained cool under pressure and formulated an argument which essentially forced the court to rule in favor of his client. Although only a small battle in the bigger war, Larry went into the hearing knowing that opposing counsel was not adequately prepared for the trial – and that winning the hearing would force the other side to settle on terms more favorable to his client. As anticipated, the case settled and a decree was entered just a few days later. Get To Know Larry In His Own Words ‘My clients pay for, and expect more, than just another one-dimensional divorce lawyer. My experience ranges from analyzing complicated financial situations to drafting and negotiating premarital, postnuptial and settlement agreements and also litigating every conceivable issue at trial. Moreover, my years in the arena have taught me how to effectively manage the economic realities of high-stakes divorce litigation.’ ‘The difference between a good divorce lawyer and a great divorce lawyer is their ability to wear numerous hats throughout the dissolution process. One day might be the tax hat and the next might be the valuation hat. Most important though, my listening and understanding hat is always on.’ ‘I am honest with our clients. It doesn’t sound like much, but there are plenty of lawyers who simply tell clients what they want to hear. At the end of the day, telling clients only the good news ends up costing the client both time and money – eventually hurting their case from a global perspective. Divorce is an emotional roller coaster and my clients need me to be tough. They know I am going to be tough with opposing counsel, but they can also expect me to be tough with them, advising them in a manner which best preserves their rightful portion of the marital community.’ ‘Too many clients want a divorce lawyer who is aggressive. They do so without really knowing what it means to be intelligently aggressive. Just being aggressive without knowing what you are doing will end up costing clients a great deal of money. Fighting just to fight is an endeavor I avoid at all costs. Ultimately, my clients get a lawyer who plays chess – not checkers. My experience, negotiation skills and tenacity allow me to anticipate each move my opponent will make throughout the entire game and to strategically create a plan in line with the expectations of my client.’ Professional Experience – Experienced in highly acrimonious dissolution matters with substantial assets – Formerly associated with one of the largest law firms in the nation devoted entirely to family law – Past clients have included numerous professional athletes, musicians, entertainers, CEO’s, attorneys, doctors, retailers, philanthropists and some of the wealthiest families in the United States – Active in family law organizations in both Arizona and Illinois – Practice devoted entirely to family law – Served on executive committee of Phoenix Human Rights Campaign – Lectured to Arizona attorneys on how to sharpen negotiation skills – Appeared on Channel 12 News as sports and entertainment law expert – Attends regular seminars on the art of negotiation – Published article in Chicago Daily Law Bulletin regarding child support arrearages – Attended numerous conferences on business valuation and divorce taxation issues – Chairman of Young Jewish Phoenix – Authored two chapters in 2009 West Domestic Relations Arizona Legal Forms publication – Member, Phoenix Country Club Larry Hirsch named a 2012 Rising Star – Arizona by Southwest Super Lawyer Magazine, an annual honor given to exceptional young attorneys throughout Arizona and New Mexico based on peer review and professional achievement.
