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

Various support

Mr Lawrence has helped us on many occasions . It started with our adoption. Mr Lawrence created a semeless experience with no hiccups ! This experience has allowed our older children to hire Mr Lawrence to help with their custody issues. He's knowledgable and really does have your best interest at h...eart! The only issue is that his rates are really lower than market value!

Child Custody

Great lawyer. Very affordable and reasonable. He got me everything I wanted out of my custody case plus. He worked with me every step of the way to make sure of it. I will definitely use him in the future if need be.

TERRIBLE SERVICE

hired Mr Lawrence for a criminal case for my husband.. he misled up on what his game plan was... he asked us to pay the retainer and he would get started... never did... come time for court and he was due to enter his appearance he never showed up.. claimed he was in an automobile accident by never... notified the court as he said he would... luckily things worked out and the case was postponed... afterwards when we fired him he would not return my calls to give us our money back... he did nothing to earn the grand he was given.. and now will not return any calls to settle this matter... PLEASE DO NOT SET YOURSELF FOR FAILURE

Caring and Effective

He won my custody case for half of what other firms wanted. I could talk to him on the phone and he would not bill me for it. He is one of a kind, and not like other lawyers. Hire him if you want to win your case and be treated with respect.
