Justin Lawrence
My uncle needed to file for his social security and since I wasn't for sure on what to do, we met with Justin Lawrence. Justin explained everything to us honestly. Justin made sure that we understood that this could take awhile but he would push my uncles case as fast as he could. He filled out all the paper work and got all the neccessary records he needed in order to get my uncle his SSI. my uncle got his SSI on the first try and it only took weeks instead of months. Thank you Justin Lawrence

Stuck with me through it all
Kelsey and Justin did a great job on my social security case. I got denied twice but they got it in front of a judge and that's how we won. They got the hearing quick because I thought it was going to be over a year to get one but it really only took about ten months after covid hit.

Happy with his firm
I hired Justin when I got behind on some bills and they was going to take my house. He and Danielle helped me save the house and the bankruptcy got rid of my medical bills too. They explain things really good too.

Got things done
I was in a car wreck last year and the insurance company for the other guy wouldn't work with me at all. I hired Justin and Danielle and they took care of everything. We wound up not going to court and I was happy with how fast things moved once I got a lawyer involved. If this ever happens again (hopefully not) I'll call a lawyer first.

Very professional and considerate
I am a people person so I like dealing with folks that treat me as an individual not a case. They took the time to explain the process and kept in touch throughout until completion. They also took the extra time to return all my calls!

Filed bankruptcy
I lost my job because of the COVID situation and the unemployment got held up. The credit cards got out of control and I had to file bankruptcy. I liked Justin for two reasons. One, it was when a lot of things were still shut down and I could get started on the telephone. Two, everything happened pretty much exactly like he said and I just got my discharge papers in the mail today. I did the whole thing from my house and it was quick. Can't ask for any better than that.

Used for comp and bankruptcy
I had a comp case with him a few years back that went well. I just went back to file bankruptcy because I got laid off and they made that really easy too. Everyone treats you good here and they don't talk so you don't understand it.

Justin made it easy
I was in a car accident back before the pandemic shut everything down. I put off calling a lawyer forever because I'd never had one and I was worried I'd get taken advantage of. It turned out to be a really good experience. The insurance company was fighting me every step of the way, but Justin took over and I really didn't have to do anything else. We won every single thing we went after them for, and I was able to do everything by video and email. Great experience!

Pete Tripp & Sarah Fortner
I got injured at work. Three different sources recommended Lawrence & Associates. Pete Tripp, Atty., & Sarah Fortner, Paralegal, handled my Workers Comp Case. They both are outstanding individuals showing professional courteousy. Although when I called, I sometimes did not get to speak to them at that moment. They always returned my call in a timely manner & were very thorough in answering & addressing my concerns. I highly recommend using them as your attorneys. I walked in as just a client needing representation & am leaving as a friend. They definitely are good people.

Best team to work with.
The team at Lawrence & Associates go above and beyond for their clients. My husband is a disabled Veteran and was involved in a serious car accident that totaled our only vehicle. Luckily we had good insurance but the responsible party did not and we ended up needing an attorney to make sure we weren't run over twice. Not only did Lawrence & Associates get us fair compensation but they were so patient and kind when dealing with all of our questions and the many phone calls. They made sure we understood every step. We wouldn't hesitate to recomend Lawrence & Associates to anyone.

Listened, Respected, and Helped me
Justin, was a great help with my situation. He was very fast and responsive with any questions or problems I had. Denise who is a paralegal for Justin, was always there to answers my questions, while being very personable and non judgmental. They did not make me feel ashamed or embarrassed that I had financial trouble. Instead they understood and helped me to understand my situation and helped me to get through it. Even after my case wad filed, both Denise and Justin where always there to answer my calls and to help with any issues. I highly recommend giving Lawrence and Associates a call with any type of legal trouble you have. Very friendly and professional staff!
