Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I endorse this lawyer. Attorneys who know the law well are rare and rarer still are counsel who hold their knowledge lightly with humility and humor. At a time of hyper-adversariality, the value of humility and humor cannot be overstated. I agreed to use Mr. Lawless as a special master on a case where the interpersonal conflict was so intense that the legal issues were very difficult to address. Greg managed quite quickly to gain the trust of both parties and to gently inform both of the applicable law. He very capably brokered a conclusion to a very contentious issue with such skill that the parties turned to him later to resolve another issue. I remain amazed by his skills at listening, cajoling and delivering rulings in a fashion that both sides accepted. If you face property issues this is your guy. Hire him before he retires!
