Second time around

Joe was so good the first time that I had to hire him again. He is the truth and takes pride in providing the BEST service to his client. He gives it you raw so that there is no grey area about what he feels is best for you. I will FOREVER have him as my attorney. He won my first custody case. I'm so... thankful for all he has done and continues to do.

Good experience

Mr. Lawrence was great. My husband was trying to get full custody or at least split custody. Mr. Lawrence made it so that he only got weekends in the summer. I got primary custody and support. My kids are so much happier now. I recommend this lawyer. If you have a custody case. His fees are extreme...ly reasonable at a flat rate. I knew what I was going to pay and he helped me work out a payment plan. Mr. Lawrence is very fair and he knows the law. Fantastic

VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!!!! Mr. Pelham is very unprofessional!!!!! EMOTIONALLY UNSTABLE!!!!! VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!!!! He had the nerve to tell me my ex husband got a good deal also made out which was very heartbreaking to hear from Mr. Lawrence. I highly recommend not hiring him in a Divorce Settlement or... any other matter! He did not fight for me at all!!!!! I was forced to move out of a home that I lived in for over 22years with my kids and my ex got to move back in and resume his life!!!!!!!!!!!!

very good

Mr Lawrence represented me in my divorce. We got custody of my son and ebery other lawyer told me it was a lost cause. I feel like god put M. Lawrence in my life for a reason and it is a blessing. He worked with me on payments too. I couldnot believe it.
