C. Michael Lawrence

My father was a client of Mr. Lawrence in what should have been a simple divorce case. We knew going in that Mr. Lawrence is a one man shop (no associates) but were disappointed when almost every motion, response, or filing had obvious typos. Often my father's name was spelled incorrectly, on more ...than one occasion he flip-flopped whether the defendant or respondent was entitled to certain property, and there were often math errors in his calculations. It seemed that he would have had us or his receptionist review things before sending them out, but that generally was not the case. Mr. Lawrence was more concerned with responding quickly to motions/filings than getting things correctly. We would not use him again, or recommend using him.

Unfortunately I din't have a stellar experience in working with Michael Lawrence, I didn't feel that he devoted the proper level of attention to my case. 1. He was texting and preparing for another case while we were in front of the commissioner. 2. He asked me if I had the documentation while we... were at court. He wasn't prepared. 3. He quoted information back to me as if I had said it. "you said this, you said that." which I had not. 4. I had an active retainer (paid up and money in the pot), but since I had become unemployed and didn't own property he dropped me as a client. Well, I think I'm grateful that I didn't continue. You may have a different experience. I just recommend that you ask him to pay attention to your case and focus on your needs if you do hire him and not allow multi-tasking.

I felt abandoned, lost, and angry by the time he closed my case, he was completely worthless and it saddens me that when people are in trouble and need help/legal advice they end up turning to what you believe is a professional with ethics and what they really get is a crook. No wander lawyers have... such horrible jokes written about them and there similarities to the devil. I hope that one day he gets what he deserves. I wouldn't recommend him to my worst enemy.
