Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, WA (1888PressRelease) September 09, 2011 - "Larry is considered one of the finest criminal defense lawyers on the West Coast. His wealth of experience and trial skills are a clear complement to our already strong, national white collar defense practice, especially during a period marked by increased government oversight," said Anne Preston, chair of the firm. "Larry's addition not only marks our 10th lateral hire this year, it comes on the heels of our additions of prominent litigators Gary Grenley and Paul Trinchero in Portland. These three trial lawyers bring a combined total of more than 75 years of courtroom experience to the firm, expanding our capabilities and bench strength. We are enormously gratified that so many exceptional lawyers are choosing to join Garvey Schubert. We think that it says great things about our firm and its future."

He has been listed in Naifeh & Smith's Best Lawyers in America for more than 20 years, Barry Tarlow's National Directory of Criminal Defense Lawyers since its inception in 1979 and Chambers USA: America's Leading Lawyers for Business.
