The law offices of William H. Lawson assisted our family after a car accident. William and his office assisted us by navigating the medical and insurance claims getting a settlement, and all medical liens paid. Even after my mom passed, he help see our case through. His team is respectful and worked diligently to get all bills paid and finally ended this ordeal. After almost two years, I finally have no worries and even settled with some money. If you are looking for help and want to do things right and get the guidance you need Bill (William) is the person you are looking for, honest, hardworking and willing to help you as best as he can. I always appreciate his office and his help during this endeavor.

Bill is compassionate, trustworthy, and hard working. He believed in what he was doing for our badly injured daughter, and prepared a tight case against all three insurers involved, and won them all! He has made a huge difference in our daughter’s future life. We highly recommend him.

We would like to thank Bill Lawson for taking our personal injury case that occurred while we were on vacation in Honolulu. We would have been completely lost without his knowledge of the laws in Hawaii. Bill was very attentive to our case and kept us apprised of each step throughout the whole process. Being in another state made our situation a little difficult due to the 6 hour difference. Bill worked very hard to get us a fair and adequate outcome. We would highly recommend Bill Lawson!!

Bill is an awesome attorney who went above and beyond for me, and will for you too! Not only did he fight hard for top compensation, but he worked with the best dentists and doctors on the island to ensure all my work was done at no out of pocket costs! For someone facing over $25,000 in dental work, having that personal relationship with the local medical community was a real stress reliever in a stressful time! Thanks for everything Bill, your services were worth every penny you fought to get

I had an excellent experience working with Mr. Lawson and I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a personal injury lawyer.
