Best lawyer out there

I could not have picked a better lawyer. He’s professional, personable and knows his way around the system. I recommend him to everyone and will never stop.

Second time around

Joe was so good the first time that I had to hire him again. He is the truth and takes pride in providing the BEST service to his client. He gives it you raw so that there is no grey area about what he feels is best for you. I will FOREVER have him as my attorney. He won my first custody case. I'm so... thankful for all he has done and continues to do.

Hiring Joe Lawrence was the best decision I made

I hired Joseph Lawrence to represent me in my divorce. He was confident without being arrogant, exceptionally knowledgeable and able to fully describe possible outcomes, procedures, etc., and was able to talk me off the ledge when I became worried. My ex-spouse took a while to hire representation a...nd spoke to Joe a couple of times while he was looking for an attorney. To this day, he says that I definitely had the better lawyer. I agree. We had a very amicable divorce thanks to Joe's diplomacy, professionalism and tact. However, should issues have become contentious, I know that Joe would have fiercely protected my interests.

Good experience

Mr. Lawrence was great. My husband was trying to get full custody or at least split custody. Mr. Lawrence made it so that he only got weekends in the summer. I got primary custody and support. My kids are so much happier now. I recommend this lawyer. If you have a custody case. His fees are extreme...ly reasonable at a flat rate. I knew what I was going to pay and he helped me work out a payment plan. Mr. Lawrence is very fair and he knows the law. Fantastic
