E. Lawrence Brock has been involved in the legal profession for more than 40 years and has focused on probate and trust administration for the last 15 years, handling hundreds of cases. Although he always has had a reputation for handling these administrations with compassion and understanding, Larry developed a deeper understanding of what families go through during this difficult time through a personal experience a few years ago.

On April 13, 2005, Larry's oldest son, Ryan, was killed. That tragic experience and the challenges that followed gave Larry a new appreciation for the emotions facing family members left to administer the estate of a loved one.

"I understand now and I recognize in a completely new way the tragedy, the trauma and the difficulty one endures at the loss of a loved one. The depth of the loss cannot be described," Brock says. "I more fully understand what my clients go through when they come in to seek assistance in the administration of a loved one's estate."

"They feel like life is one big dark hole and just want their life normal again. I don't know if life gets back to normal, but I do know that we go on. My team and I are here to help people go on."
