David Lawrence

I had my first consultation with attorney David Lawrence after my friend helped contact many law offices—most of which refused to support landlords like us. David reviewed our case, provided legal advice, and thoroughly explained the situation to help us better understand the law. After nearl...y two hours of consultation, including time spent reading our legal statement beforehand, he charged us a $350 consultation fee as known. In the end, we were told we would likely lose the case. I felt extremely sad and disappointed—but we understood. A lawyer is not a JUDGE, and David was honest enough to tell us the truth while offering different options to help us prepare and choose the most cost-effective and realistic approach. We live in a place where the law overwhelmingly protects tenants, and expecting any lawyer to change that reality is impossible. I met David while I was exhausted, financial resource, and overwhelmed. Still, I’m grateful for his honesty and thorough guidance. Today, David didn’t give me the result I was hoping for—to end the dispute with my tenant—but that wasn’t his fault. I respect him because he: • Responded to me very quickly • Gave detailed and helpful legal advice • Offered self-help solutions so I wouldn’t have to pay unnecessary fees If you’re looking for a lawyer with these qualities, David may be a good fit.

David Lawrence will fight for you and do so with perhaps the most knowledgeable mind of tenant law in the Portland and surrounding areas. He laid out all of my options for me to choose. After continued, caring updates to me by phone, text and email- he then expertly followed through on delivering ...the best results. Highly recommend David Lawrence as a Portland area tenant attorney and as a human being of the highest order.

<Mr. Lawrence is a low-key, highly intelligent person. He listened patiently to my long and winding case to make sure he had all the angles and details. He produced an efficient legal strategy which NONE of my other advisers came even close to comprehending. True brilliance. Within minutes of ...sitting down to meet with him, I felt he was a trustworthy, hardworking man. i will be going the Extra mile to see that he gets referrals from the other tenants currently under torture from my "property gross mismanagement" service. Hire this man, pay him well and he will treat you with an enormous amount of respect and diligent service. I highly recommend Mr. Lawrence. After all.........you can't go wrong with a man whose name begins with the word LAW! ~ M
