Linda was great at handling my divorce. I own my own business and there were many complicated issues related to the divorce. She was very knowledgeable and worked well with my accountant. I highly recommend.

Hired Attorney Linda J. Lawrence

It can be hard to find an attorney that focuses on you and your case. That's why I'm so glad that I found Lawrence Law Office. Linda and Rodd both worked hard to communicate with me every step of the way and fought for me at every opportunity. They gave me peace of mind knowing someone was looking out for my interests. If you want attorneys who will work hard for you, I highly recommend Rodd and Linda at Lawrence Law Office!

Hired Law Firm

My experience with this firm was disappointing. Despite paying significant retainers, I received little guidance or advocacy, and critical steps in my case were delayed or overlooked. Communication was inconsistent, and I was provided conflicting information about key issues. In my view, this firm did not act in my best interest.

Hired Law Firm

I never got any invoice for months only after I indicated I did not want to move fwd anymore I got some documents and after 1 month an invoice indicating that about $1,400 of my $2,000 security deposit had been used.

Response from Lawrence Law Office
In a dissolution, almost all of the work is completed in the first month. This is why most of the retain was used after one month. We provide invoices to our clients on a monthly basis reflecting the services performed.
