Great communication and willingness to listen and share her knowledge.

In working with Ms. Lisa Lawrence, I found her to be invested in my issues, very knowledgeable, and able to answer all of my MANY questions. She was prepared for our meeting by thoroughly reading the documents I had sent ahead of our consultation. I was questioning a non-Compete agreement. She asked ...ME how she can best help me. Highly recommend LawrenceQueen to anyone needing a great lawyer!

Assistance with a bullying issue with our child

Both Ms. Lawrence and Ms Parson were fantastic. What I liked most was the personalized attention. They constantly gave us ideas, listened to us, but were also frank with us regarding what would/wouldn't work. The other thing I liked was they always made us feel like our case was important to the...m, and they always made us feel like we were a priority - which was nice because we weren't a "big case". Their professionalism, attentiveness, guidance, and ability to listen to our needs and translate that into effective action was top notch. I can't tell you how appreciative we are for what Ms. Lawrence and Ms. Parson did for us. Their professionalism and expertise, along with superior customer service is second to none based on my experience.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
