Best lawyer out there

I could not have picked a better lawyer. He’s professional, personable and knows his way around the system. I recommend him to everyone and will never stop.

Hiring Joe Lawrence was the best decision I made

I hired Joseph Lawrence to represent me in my divorce. He was confident without being arrogant, exceptionally knowledgeable and able to fully describe possible outcomes, procedures, etc., and was able to talk me off the ledge when I became worried. My ex-spouse took a while to hire representation a...nd spoke to Joe a couple of times while he was looking for an attorney. To this day, he says that I definitely had the better lawyer. I agree. We had a very amicable divorce thanks to Joe's diplomacy, professionalism and tact. However, should issues have become contentious, I know that Joe would have fiercely protected my interests.

Initial Consult

Mr. Joseph contacted me thru the website and was very professional and upfront with what would be involved in my international divorce case. He relieved me of my anxiety over this long standing divorce case I had not known how to get thru by myself. I was in the process of applying for an absolute ...divorce without representation due to being discouraged by all the other lawyers I had talk to prior to Mr. Joseph. I didn’t feel comfortable they would be able to handle unexpected turns an international case might present.. After our long consultation I felt relieved I had found someone I could trust to represent me fairly and completely. Thanks Mr. Joseph I am ready to start on my legal journey with your representation! Thanks!

Great Recommendation!

I have had two recent cases that Mr. Lawrence handled. Both times he handled each case with professionalism and accuracy. He kept on top of the case and spoke directly to the State's Attorney. In each case, my case was resolved prior to court and in my favor. What a relief! Its nice to know that... Mr. Lawrence is there to help and does such an outstanding job!

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
