Larry DeMarco is a partner in the law firm of DeMarco & DeMarco, P.C., and the founder of The Law Center. He is one of the few lawyers with an advanced law degree in trial advocacy from Temple Law School.

Larry has been a sole practitioner in the Philadelphia 5 county area for 30 years and has served as a settlement master and arbitrator for the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas.  His past experience includes volunteering for the Support Center for Child Advocates, serving as a board member and board secretary for Comhar, Inc. (a non-profit serving special needs clients), teaching Mock Trial with the Pennsylvania Bar Association, and being a custody mediator. He also operates The Law Center YouTube Channel, a free video library for self-represented litigants in family court.  

Larry’s passion is to reduce the trauma for families undergoing the pain of separation, especially for innocent children. Larry underwent a 10-year custody and support battle involving his own child and he experienced the vulnerability of parents in the family law court system firsthand. He understands that parents must not only protect themselves from scorned lovers but also from a financially motivated legal system that exploits the parents.

Larry believes that the best procedure to resolve a child custody, support, or property distribution dispute is mediation. When both sides don’t agree to mediate, self-representation coaching is a dramatically more affordable solution than retaining a private attorney for full-scope representation.  His signature program, the Family Court Custody Bootcamp is a revolutionary program that gives custody litigants a crash course in legal education that transforms parents from feelings of hopelessness and vulnerability to confidence and empowerment.
