Joseph P. Lawrence Jr

My Mother, then 88 years old, was blinded in a fall, caused by staff negligence at the assisted living facility that my parents resided at. My Father obtained an agreement from the facility, to provide a caretaker for her, in their apartment, for the rest of her life. When my Father passed away eigh...t months later, the facility quit paying for the caretaker, claiming that they were forced to do so by their insurance carrier. My brother and I began searching for an attorney, and Joseph P. Lawrence Jr. of Bellevue, was highly recommended to us, by the law firm that handled our Father's estate. I called Joe, who promptly scheduled a meeting, and he agreed to take my Mother's case. In the course of our meeting, it became clear that Joe shared our outrage at the egregious conduct of the assisted living facility, and their insurance carrier. He met with our Mother several times, to put her at ease with the process of filing a lawsuit, and reassured her that he would do his very best to obtain a just outcome for her, which was very comforting to a now 90 year old widow, who was terrified at the prospect of outliving her resources, with her care giver expenses exceeding five figures monthly. Over the course of the next year, Joe did exactly what he promised. Ignoring the odious conduct and attitude of the insurance carrier, he obtained a settlement, one week before the trial was scheduled, that will allow my Mother to live out her remaining years, without constant anxiety about what she would do when her savings ran out. If you are in need of an attorney who will put his client's interest first, and do so with absolute honesty and integrity, Joe Lawrence is who you need to call. Our entire family is indebted to him.
