actions which might create that pressure such as pervasive discovery re- quests; depositions of numerous individuals; multiple threatening, writ- ten communications; multiple hearings, and other matters that can dra- matically affect the amount of financial investment required.”
In addition to representing clients – which sometimes requires playing the role of counselor, therapist or referee – Hance enjoys the management side of the business. “I like running a law firm and making it run really well, creating systems and training a team to provide service to clients ef- ficiently and effectively.”
Their level of service is recognized by other professionals in the legal community. Hance Law Group receives most of its business through refer- rals from lawyers. Hance says that’s no accident. “I want other attorneys to be able to say you can go to Larry’s firm and you’re going to be treated well, you’re going to get the best possible outcome, and you’re not going to be overcharged for the work they do. That we have the highest integrity and that judges trust us. The judges know that if we’re asking for something it’s got a reasonable basis, so they’re going to listen. Judges tend to tune out attorneys who come in over and over asking for ridiculous things.”
Hance strongly recommends that people considering getting a divorce get good legal advice immediately. “They might or might not end up get- ting a divorce, but there are matters that could cause significant problems if they don’t see a lawyer right away and get an overview of what to do and what not to do. How someone starts a divorce is critical to how it is going to turn out. If they start out wrong it’s not going to go very well.”
“What I like to do now is have people come out of here better off than they were. Everyone who comes in has some problem or a bunch of prob- lems so if I can get them through this process and get them a reasonable result and also help them improve that other part of their life – that’s a personal mission and a business mission. That’s what I love to do.”
