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.

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

Divorce

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!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best lawyer ever

Mr how lawrence is by far the best I was very nervous about my case but he was patient with me and assured me that everything was going to be ok. He also is very knowledgeable while still being able to break things into terms that I could understand. I received everything I asked for in my case defin...itely will be recommending him. He’s such a awesome person

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!

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
