This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Great Business Help

I talked to many law firms and all of them said my business problem was very expensive to fix. I met with Laurence Stinson, he assessed my problem, had a creative idea, checked it out and solved business matter for half of what I expected to spend. Laurence did great and I am thankful he helped me....

Excellent Attorney

Laurence is one of the fastest thinking lawyers I've met. He can think on his feet, has good judgement, and can adapt quickly. He has high ethical standards as well. I've observed him performing depositions and in the court room and his skill and acuity are unsurpassed.

Quick response

He was affable and gave a timely response but could not take my claim due to his schedule. He made several suggestions to help.
