Larry is a family law specialist, certified by the California Board of Legal Specialization, with the highest rating by Martindale-Hubbell as AV-Preeminent. He has practiced family law exclusively since 1975, and was certified as a specialist at the beginning of the certification program in 1980. In addition to family law, Larry has had successful trials in San Francisco and Monterey involving damages to real and personal property. He has also litigated securities actions and estate proceedings. Larry has experience across the entire range of family law matters, including prenuptial agreements, child custody, and family law matters involving jurisdictional, bankruptcy, immigration, and tax issues. Larry was born in Reno, Nevada October 23, 1941, attended Reno High School (winning honors in debating and the state championship in extemporaneous speaking), and then attended Northwestern University where he was on the Inter Fraternity Council and acted as its Student Senate Representative and earned a B.A in Philosophy. He attended Hastings College of Law, was on the Moot Court Board, and graduated with a J.D in 1967. He then attended New York University, and earned an LL.M in Corporation Law. After returning to San Francisco, Larry became a partner in Cushing, Cullinan, Hancock and Rothert, before beginning his own law practice in family law. Larry's experience in family law grew with its evolution into one of the most complex, demanding areas of law practice. As part of this expanded range of experience, Larry became interested in the relationship between the management of complex family law issues of a more personal nature, particularly those involving child custody, and began to include a practice of regular consultation with therapists as a way to obtain better understanding of issue management in especially difficult situations. With his wife, Jan C. Thorpe, PhD, and Ron Grassi, now retired, Larry conducted a successful series of continuing education programs in San Francisco designed to expand the family law practitioner's use of consulting therapists to bring greater insight into family law issues, particularly in child custody cases. Larry continues to be fascinated with the variety and complexity of family law cases and derives great satisfaction in solving problems and bringing cases to a settled conclusion without litigation, if possible. It has been particularly rewarding for Larry to be able to practice family law with his sons, his daughter in law and his wife, who acts as a consultant, to whom Larry gives primary credit for engineering such a successful marriage of work and family life. Larry has been active in local community affairs, and is the past President of the Kensington Improvement Council. He is currently on the board of Directors of the Pacific Chamber Symphony (www.pacificchambersymphony.org).

I founded my law firm in 2018, with the goal of representing plaintiffs who have suffered catastrophic personal injuries. As an attorney, I began my work as a clerk for the Contra Costa District Attorneyโs Office and an advocate for the United States Attorneyโs Office, and by defending corporations in complex litigation. Once I learned how ordinary people were being mistreated within our legal system, I devoted myself to changing this power dynamic for the betterโusing the tools and techniques of the establishment to serve and protect my clients. I take pride in representing my clients, many of whom have suffered catastrophic or fatal personal injuries, or found themselves the victims of sexual assault, harassment, or discrimination. My personal goal is to protect the dignity of every person who trusts my firm to serve as their counsel. My firm aims to be like no otherโtreating every one of our clients like family, listening to their concerns, and advocating on their behalf with the mind of a professor, the attention to detail of an artist, and, if need be, the focus and determination of an elite athlete. My work as a philosopher, teacher, and writer makes me different from almost any other attorney. I have a PhD from New York University, and also a graduate degree in analytic philosophy. I have won awards for teaching at Stanford University, the University of California, and NYU, among other institutions of higher learning. My students have gone on to found and work at some of the most well-known companies in the world, or become doctors, lawyers, and social activists. My work as a teacher and writer extends to every case we take, as our advocacy always reflects the same level of commitment to detail and attention that world-class academic argumentation requires. One of my proudest achievements is co-publishing a book with Dr. Jen Weiss, entitled, Brave New Voices, on behalf of literacy programs which teach disenfranchised high school students the art of writing and social justice. These programs still flourish today, more than twenty years later. Our students have gone on to become novelists, professors, and directors of non-profits. My film screenplays have been selected by Sundance and the International Film Project, and I have published fiction, poetry, and an academic book, entitled Critical Passages, with co-author Dr. Kristin Dombek. This ground-breaking book provides underserved high school students from public schools with techniques that will allow them to compete with Ivy-League students on the first day they attend college. My writing has always focused on creating spaces for empathy, on providing insight into the complex ways our lives can improve in the face of difficult challenges, and how every person can acquire and develop the tools to live an extraordinary and beautiful life.
