Worth every dollars. Way too honest for a lawyer but that's how the man is. You can fully trust him.

Vincent Larochelle has been a breath of fresh air for me and my family. His prodigious memory, incredibly sharp intellect, clear understanding of the law and strong aversion to losing make him a formidable representative for any client. He has a canny ability to see twists and contradictions in reasoning, tie together threads of arguments and present them in new clarity with finely honed communication skills. Vincent is a man with character, drive and skills. To anyone in need of his services I recommend him without reservation. John Clunies-Ross

I recently went through a really terrible situation that I needed legal representation for. The one positive thing to have emerged from the whole mess was having Vincent agree to represent me. He was recommended to me by another very well-respected lawyer in town and I am very grateful for that! I honestly cannot imagine a better advocate. Vincent listens, puts you at ease and gives uncannily accurate advice and predictions. He is ridiculously knowledgeable, experienced and creative with strong morals. Anyone would feel very reassured to have him fighting their corner. Aside from being a truly excellent lawyer he is obviously a good person which is important given how unpleasant legal processes can be. He fought very hard for me and achieved what I am certain was the best possible outcome in my situation.
