Thank you Mr. Lawrence!

Mr. Lawrence is who you want in your corner! He got me what I needed, saved me from having an eviction on my record, and the plaintiff paid his fees. I couldn't have had better representation.

Great eviction lawyer

Mr. Lawrence did an amazing job in an eviction case for me. Very knowledgeable and was an easy win in trial. I'm hoping to hire him again in a civil suit if he is available.

Excellent Service

I hired David to represent my case. I am very happy with the result and my choice of an Attorney. You can rest assured that your case is in good hands if you opt to have David represent you. He is very patient, understanding, knowledgeable and an experienced Attorney. He is always willing to give y...ou as much time, space and guidance as you need. The stressful experience of a court trial went quite smoothly with David's expertise in action. He is a sincere Attorney who will deliver results.

The Best Lawyer For Tenants

David Lawrence is a Beast! I had a very difficult situation with my Landlord trying to evict me and my family. Mr. Lawrence not only stopped the eviction but saved me money on past due rent and negotiated to prevent my Landlord from raising my rent by 30% which she was attempting to do. Now we will ...be able to stay in my Apartment at the same rent I now pay. So if you're facing eviction, there is no better Attorney in the Portland Metro area than David Lawrence. Even my Landlord's Attorney complimented Mr. Lawrence. How's that for a testimony!

Landlord or tenant lawyer | Nov 06

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I feel like I am the luckiest lawyer in the world to not have had a case against David Lawrence. He is one of my go-to colleagues for his knowledge of landlord-tenant law. Just the other day I asked him whether I could use the fact of ownership from an FED case to preclude the issue of ownership in a quiet-title case (I represent landlord/owner in both cases). On the tip of his tongue he had the case that said “no”—Bunch v. Pearson (possession is the only issue in an FED). I wish there were a David Lawrence app!"

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
