The Expert in handling a bully landlord!

David achieved an incredible financial recovery for me, after a year of my landlord failing to adhere to the terms of our lease. He did so without me having to file a lawsuit. The result happened after a single interaction with landlord’s counsel, who had bullied me throughout when I tried to resolve... the issues myself.

Excellent Counsel

As a landlord in a complicated dispute, David has a sharp and knowledgable perspective that cut to the essential elements of the case. He is fluent but doesn't ramble and offers outstanding value for anyone in a difficult situation that seeks clarity. He provided a way to settle the dispute while min...imizing legal fees, yet retaining all rights to provide for a higher negotiating position. His reviews are well-deserved and one would have a difficult time finding someone better qualified to represent them. If you want to prevail, he's the guy to have on your side.

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.

This really is the Attorney you want to represent you!

I received a summons to be in court 1 week from the time I was served the summons for possible eviction. Attorney David Lawrence answered the phone the first time I dialed his #. I hired him , over the phone, 1 day before the court date. I met him the next morning at the court house. He is fantastic...! I am 100% satisfied with the outcome. We settled out of court with no eviction. I didn't have to pay anything to the landlord, and the landlord had to pay for my attorney fees. I even got extra time for my upcoming move. David Lawrence really is the attorney you want to represent you!

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!"

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.
