About Chadwick

Learn Chadwick’s areas of practice.

4
Practice areas
  1. Car accident
    30%
    I am a former Insurance company defense attorney. I represented insurance companies before I switched sides. I know how the insurance companies evaluate the value of a claim. Put my experience to work for you.

    36 years, 1,500 cases

  2. Social Security & Disability
    30%
    We have over a 90% win rate. We understand the disability requirements and work with the client in obtaining the necessary medical information to pursue their claim. We handle all appeals including those that require Federal Court adjudication.

    36 years, 3,000 cases

  3. Workers compensation
    30%
    I have been helping injured workers obtain their workers compensation benefits for over 30 years. I travel the entire state and have successfully litigated claims from Naples to Panama City. I have secured millions of dollars in settlements.

    36 years, 2,000 cases

  4. Personal injury
    10%
    Our firm handles catastrophic injury cases, car accidents, tractor trailer accidents, and slip and fall accidents. We recently secured an 8 million dollar settlement on one of our catastrophic injury cases.

    36 years, 1,500 cases

Our practice is devoted to helping those that are injured or too sick to work as a result of an accident or condition.  For example, if you are seriously injured while on the job, and those injuries prevent you from working more than one year, we might also pursue a claim for Social Security disability benefits on your behalf.  Many law firms do not recognize other areas that allow for recoveries of money for their clients that include personal injury settlements, workers compensation settlements and social security disability.   We are always looking to maximize the recovery of money for our clients.  That is what sets us apart from our competition.

In addition, I am AV rated, which places me in the top 5% of all attorney's in Florida and was inducted into the National Trial Lawyers top 100 Trial Lawyers.

Mr. Lawrence no se merece 5 estrellas, se merece 10 ⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, definitivamente el MEJOR. He tenido el privilegio de contratar a Mr. Lawrence en 2 casos, y en los 2 casos ha luchado sin cansancio para que mis beneficios sean pagados como deben ser, tambien es un abogado que siempre te responde tus preguntas ya sea por email o por telefono, siempre pone tus necesidades por encima de todo. Tambien lo recomende a unos amigos que tuvieron un accidente de transito y su experiencia tambien fue excelente, quedaron felices con su trabajo y resultados y no dudarían en volverlo a contratar o en referirlo. Mr. Lawrence definitivamente EL MEJOR (THE BEST).

Professional and experience
My experience with the Lawrence Law Firm was excellent I was represent it better than I could ever imagine. My needs were put first, my opinions were valued, my doubts were always reassured and the process was always explain. The rapport and guidance was outstanding at all times, prompt, timely and open for calls, with quick response and updates. Mr. Lawrence gave my disability case all the time and attention that was needed to be successful in court. He was a calming and confident presence doing a very emotional court proceeding. His analytical skills and expertise represented me very well. Although I acquired his legal services through the contingent fee arrangement, I never once was treated as any other , than a valuable client by Mr. Lawrence and his staff. I highly recommend The Lawrence Law Firm .

Highly Recommend Mr. Lawrence
My Lawrence helped me with a very complicated workers compensation case. The insurance company would not pay for my back surgery. They convinced the workers comp doctor to say my injury did not need surgery after he had already recommended it. I hired Mr. Lawrence and was very aggressive and hired another doctor to review my medical information and he said I needed the surgery. I eventually got my surgery and after I healed he settled my case for a very fair amount. He is very honest and sincere.

My Cases
I hired this attorney a year ago for a Worker's Compensation claim and shortly after for a Social Security claim. He was very professional, ethical and, yes down to earth as they say. He settled my Worker's Compensation claim after a few months and he also won my Social Security claim. I am now receiving benefits for my disability thanks to this Law Firm. I would recommend this attorney to anyone who is seeking legal representation.

CARING, KIND AND BRILLIANT
Mr Lawrence took my disability case 2 years ago when I was denied. I have had 4 neck surgeries and have worked in dentistry for 33 years. My hearing was yesterday and I was so nervous because my family needs this. We talked for 30 minutes before, he informed me it could take somewhere around 20-30 minutes. IT TOOK 5 MINUTES AND I WON. He's knowledgable not only about law, but the man could be a Dr. He's ethical and will not take a case if he feels you are not truthful. I would highly recommend him. Thank you Chad

Caring and compassionate
Mr. Lawrence and his staff were wonderful. I had a difficult workers compensation claim as the employer lied about how I was injured and the insurance company denied my claim. Mr. Lawrence fought for my benefits and won my claim. I am extremely grateful. Thank you Mr. Lawrence

BRILLIANT!!!
Although this was a bitter sweet- case.. I fired my first attorney and hired Chad, it was the best move I could've made! Chad was courteous, caring, professional, personable, humble and very honest..He investigated my case, found many things that the previous attorney missed....He truly cares for his clients...I have never met an attorney that actually LISTENS without being condescending ... and he's bull dog when it comes to fighting for you! He respects his staff and his clients, I highly recommend him..you will not be disappointed. Thank you, Chad, I know W/C in Florida is horrible, I can't thank you enough for being so patient ..you're the best!!

Did for me what the bigger named firms could not.
Mr. Lawrence and his staff did for me what the bigger law firms could not and that was win my disability case and save me and my family. He was our last hope and he did not disappoint, when you hire him he goes with you into the court room not a paralegal not a representative you get Mr. Lawrence a great attorney that cares. I would recommend him to all my family and friends and to anybody that would ask me for an attorney referral.

Workers Compensation
I went to a consultation with Chad about a Workers Comp situation I so desperately need questions for. I just didn't now what actions was in my rights to take and what actions was needed to be done. Throughout the whole consultation Chad made me feel convertible as if I was talking to a friend or someone I knew for a long period of time. He told me the does and the don'ts, Mr.Lawrence was very honest with me. He enlighten me with the law when it comes to workers compensation. You can just tell he's for the people and not all about the money. Although he didn't represent in my case because he flat out told me how the law works so I didn't need him at the end of the day, but if I would ever need him I would definitely go back.. very intelligent guy and a very caring guy. You can't spell Lawrence without Law.. Thank you Chad!

Great attorney! Great staff!
Mr. Lawrence handled my personal injury case and was wonderful. After the settlement, the insurance company was still balking on all of the agreed to payments and Mr. Lawrence and his staff stepped in and immediately rectified the problem! The checks came in as promised and my settlement was secure! Thank you Mr. Lawrence! I would've been lost without you and your staff!
