Best criminal lawyer in town! Totally satisfied. He went above and beyond what I expected of a lawyer. JC Lawrence and his whole team of lawyers and offfice staff are very professional and compassionate. Would highly recommend this team of great people!

Extremely Dissatisfied

Worst experience ever. Worked with JC, or rather I met him once during our consultation, paid a retainer and then I had to hunt him down for information on my case. He never showed up to my court date, and then when I called him he refused to answer or provide me with any information. He basically... just took the first offer the DA gave him which was completely unjustified. Since then I have asked for my file and a complete record of service justifying his outlandish retainer fee. He has yet to respond. I ended up hiring a new lawyer, got my case fully dismissed and am in the process fighting JC in courtt over misrepresentation. Beware!!

Extremely Poor Service

JC was horrible. He filed for motions we did not consent and never called for upcoming court dates or informed us for anything. The only time we were called in his office was for a 'breifing' in which he asked for more money. He went with whatever deal the DA offered and did not try to fight for us. ...As we accepted a plea, the time was not computated correctly. I have contacted JC several times and he stated he will not help with correcting the time. He is very arrogant and I am surprised at his actions. He was reffered to me as the best lawyer and we got everything but that. I am in the process of filing a complaint. He accepted our money (which we paid him more) and did not do his job. VERY DISSATISFIED

Great Team

Mr. Lawrence and his team worked hard on my son's case. JC is knowledgable and went out of his way to help us. He always retured my calls and I could stop in any time and speak with him.
