Atty Lawrence is one of the good lawyers
Atty Lawrence is top-notch, honest, and trustworthy. He is one of the good guys. I only wish he did Family Law, we could use more honest lawyers in this world. He is the best choice I could have used at an unfortunate time in my life. Nobody wants to obtain a lawyer, but if you have to this is the lawyer of choice.

Positive review.
We had occasion to seek Attorney Peter Lawrence's opinion concerning our unfortunate need to declare bankruptcy and then seeking a Deed in Lieu for our home from a major bank—a bank that sought to confuse, delay and bully us. Although we were in a financial situation we would have never anticipated, Peter was kind, understanding and compassionate when explaining our options. We found him to be patient with us even when he had to re-explain aspects of the legal process we were confused about, especially with the Deed in Lieu negotiation. It seemed the bank's tactic was to send conflicting communications and it seemed that one department of the bank did not communicate with other parts, often time conflicting with previous communications and statements. Peter was able to put us at ease with his knowledge of the process and his assurance that there would a satisfactory outcome. His calm demeanor, his understanding of our embarrassment being in these difficult situation and his ability to not “talk over us”, but explain in language we could understand, made resolving our problems more endurable. We would not hesitate to refer friends and family to Attorney Lawrence!
