I represent my clients completely, focusing on what they really want as a result and working with them and their partner to get there.  Some of my Family Law clients stay married.  These partners stay married because I recognize that they have issues in their relationships, but do not want to be divorced.  If both parties agree that they want to preserve their marriage, I engage in marital mediation to resolve the issues that are causing the difficulties.. I believe that no one gets married to get divorced.  Family is most important.  If a family can remain intact, it is the best result.. If a couple needs to divorce, I work with my client to do this in the least expensive and traumatic manner possible.  I encourage Mediation and Collaborative Divorce wherever possible.  Mediation is where both parties work with a Mediator to resolve their issues and come to their own agreement.  In Collaborative Divorce, each party has an attorney who must be Collabotatively trained, and the parties sign a contract that they will not go to Court regarding issues but will work within the Collaborative process to do so.  Both Mediation and Collaborative Divorce save money, personal energy, stress, and time.  Also, these processes are private so peoples' most personal business remains out of the Court spotlight.. Family Law issues are most difficult and stressful for my clients.  I work with them to resolve their matters with as little stress and expense as possible.

Attorney Matthew G. McGoldrick joined the CT Divorce Mediation Centers in October of 2020. Prior to joining the firm, Attorney McGoldrick’s legal practice was focused on litigating marital and other family matters primarily in Hartford and Middlesex counties. He attended Villanova University as an undergraduate and earned his J.D. degree from the Quinnipiac University School of Law in Hamden, Connecticut.. Throughout his legal career, Attorney McGoldrick was drawn to helping clients navigate the turmoil and confusion that oftentimes is associated with the divorce process. During his time as a litigator, he came to recognize that many divorcing couples could be best served by removing or limiting the adversarial nature of divorce litigation and the court system. Attorney McGoldrick coaches the individuals he works with to begin recognizing shared goals and priorities during the process, thereby guiding the spouses to focus on moving themselves and their families forward into the next phases of post-marriage life.. Attorney McGoldrick believes that the Mediation and Collaborative approaches to divorce allow the individuals to preserve their dignity and the personal relationships that have been constructed throughout the marriage, which will remain imperative to protecting the communication between divorcing parents..

Larry  began his legal career working for the firm of Cypert, Crouch, Cark and Harwell in Springdale, Arkansas and thoroughly enjoyed his first four years in a general practice of law there.  However, because he and his wife have always made their home in Rogers, Arkansas, when he was offered a position with Matthews, Campbell & Rhoads in 1989, he gladly accepted.

Larry is a skilled trial lawyer and will zealously represent your interests but will keep in mind that the person you are doing battle with is probably the mother or father of your children and hopefully you two will still be able to be at the same table at your kid’s wedding rehearsal dinner.

I am patient, optimistic and a creative problem solver.  I strive for each family who comes to me for mediation to leave with a custom tailored settlement, with attention to the details and needs unique to each case.  I strive to help parents and their counsel acheive developmentally appropriate solutions for co-parenting children at every age and stage, while protecting the interests of both parents in the long term.  If you are looking to find a mediator, divorce or custody attorney that is focused on solutions, I have the skills and training to handle your case.  I look forward to helping your family or clients, and listening to your concerns..
