He actually cares about his client.

Lawrence was recommended by a friend. My case was about 7 years ago. I was facing serious and embarrassing false allegations. I consulted several lawyers with more experience but Lawrence came up with different ideas. From the moment I met him, I was comfortable with him. He did not judge me. He dis...covered that the alleged victim made the same allegations against others. The State offered us a deal to a much less charge, but Lawrence advised against taking the deal. The State ended up dropping the charges.

Always a win

He has represented my family in 2 separate cases within the last 10 years. I interviewed with a few other attorneys who were clearly money driven and had no connection with their client. Lawrence is professional and takes special interests in his client. No matter how difficult the situation was, he... came up with the right defense. Both times a win.

the BEST!

Attentive, knowledgeable, thorough, articulate, determined, and not afraid to fight for his client . . . in a nut shell, that's Lawrence A. Hashish. My husband was facing a minimum of 10 years for a crime he didn't commit and rather than push "deals" down our throat, Lawrence stood by us and fou...ght for my husband's innocence. Before meeting Lawrence, every other attorney my husband and I met with could only say "let's hope for a decent deal". Out of desperation another lawyer was initially hired and I cannot stress how much of a mistake that was. This other attorney spent more time trying to get my husband to plead guilty and take a deal than actually look at the discovery in the case. Then Lawrence came around . . . a man of utmost integrity. Unlike everyone else, he actually took the time to not only speak to my husband, but to actually LISTEN to him. He takes nothing at face value and digs for the truth and then he fights for justice. Throughout the case, he was in constant communication with both my husband and I. He took the time to explain things to us and always discussed every step in advance. There was never a moment where we felt as if we were in the dark. In the end, thanks to Lawrence's hard work and dedication, the case against my husband was dismissed. I can honestly say, if I or any other member of my family ever find ourselves in need of an attorney, it's Lawrence A. Hashish I'll be calling.

My Hero

My 16 year old sat in the county jail for almost 10 months for a crime he did not commit. The detective and prosecutor knew the victim was lying, but they still wanted him to go to jail. He was charged with car-jacking. Mr. Hashish took over the case and things changed fast. He did his own inv...estigation and knew we was telling him the truth. I felt like I had a million dollar lawyer for my son. He seems like a nice, sweet, quite man, but truth is, he is a monster in court. He don't stop fighting. The prosecutor tried to be sneaky, but Mr. Hashish would not let her get away with anything. He knows every little detail about the case and is always prepared. I know my son is in good hands. Mr. Hashish really cares about his clients and treats them like people.
