My father was a client of Mr. Lawrence in what should have been a simple divorce case. We knew going in that Mr. Lawrence is a one man shop (no associates) but were disappointed when almost every motion, response, or filing had obvious typos. Often my father's name was spelled incorrectly, on more than one occasion he flip-flopped whether the defendant or respondent was entitled to certain property, and there were often math errors in his calculations. It seemed that he would have had us or his receptionist review things before sending them out, but that generally was not the case. Mr. Lawrence was more concerned with responding quickly to motions/filings than getting things correctly. We would not use him again, or recommend using him.

Unfortunately I din't have a stellar experience in working with Michael Lawrence, I didn't feel that he devoted the proper level of attention to my case. 1. He was texting and preparing for another case while we were in front of the commissioner. 2. He asked me if I had the documentation while we were at court. He wasn't prepared. 3. He quoted information back to me as if I had said it. "you said this, you said that." which I had not. 4. I had an active retainer (paid up and money in the pot), but since I had become unemployed and didn't own property he dropped me as a client. Well, I think I'm grateful that I didn't continue. You may have a different experience. I just recommend that you ask him to pay attention to your case and focus on your needs if you do hire him and not allow multi-tasking.

I was asked to resubmit my review of this attorney, though I don't feel there was anything wrong with the first review I provided. I hired C. Michael in a divorce, I had a prenuptial agreement and my wife decided to contest the divorce and filed a counter claim.This attorney is a good paper shuffler and not good a providing reliable honest advice. He would not allow me to say anything at the trial before the judge and based my case essentially on one question, "If he were a millionaire would you have signed the prenuptial agreement? She said she didn't understand the question. He dropped it dead in the water and didn't follow up at all. The judges decision was disastrous to me He didn't ever provide me with a copy of my exs financial declaration (which she omitted future financial assets from) He didn't inform me that my retainer was ever credited towards my account and when I asked his office for financial leger copies of my account I was told they had went to a different record keeping system and those records were thrown out. He discouraged me from filing an appeal if I got a bad decision in the divorce, claiming it would be very expensive and it would have to be in bound book form I was also a client of the same attorney on a False stalking charge my ex filed against me, he advised me to plead guilty in abeyance and after a year that would be the end of it. Though I disagreed with his advise, which was for me to lie and plead guilty to a charge I did not commit. I followed his advise. Later when I contacted his office, he didn't even have copies of the receipt that I paid the court costs and I had to send him a copy. I ended up paying the costs of doing it myself to get the record expunged.

I felt abandoned, lost, and angry by the time he closed my case, he was completely worthless and it saddens me that when people are in trouble and need help/legal advice they end up turning to what you believe is a professional with ethics and what they really get is a crook. No wander lawyers have such horrible jokes written about them and there similarities to the devil. I hope that one day he gets what he deserves. I wouldn't recommend him to my worst enemy.

He would not allow me to say anything at the trial before the judge and based my case essentially on one question, "If he were a millionaire would you have signed the prenuptial agreement? She said she didn't understand the question. He dropped it dead in the water and didn't follow up at all. The judges decision was disastrous to me He didn't ever provide me with a copy of my exs financial declaration (which she omitted future financial assets from) He didn't inform me that my retainer was ever credited towards my account and when I asked his office for financial leger copies of my account I was told they had went to a different record keeping system and those records were thrown out. He discouraged me from filing an appeal if I got a bad decision in the divorce, claiming it would be very expensive and it would have to be in bound book form I was also a client of the same attorney on a False stalking charge my ex filed against me, he advised me to plead guilty in abeyance and after a year that would be the end of it. Though I disagreed with his advise, which was for me to lie and plead guilty to a charge I did not commit. I followed his advise. Later when I contacted his office, he didn't even have copies of the receipt that I paid the court costs and I had to send him a copy. I ended up paying the costs of doing it myself to get the record expunged.

I felt abandoned, lost, and angry by the time he closed my case, he was completely worthless and it saddens me that when people are in trouble and need help/legal advice they end up turning to what you believe is a professional with ethics and what they really get is a crook. No wander lawyers have such horrible jokes written about them and there similarities to the devil. I hope that one day he gets what he deserves. I wouldn't recommend him to my worst enemy.

My father was a client of Mr. Lawrence in what should have been a simple divorce case. We knew going in that Mr. Lawrence is a one man shop (no associates) but were disappointed when almost every motion, response, or filing had obvious typos. Often my father's name was spelled incorrectly, on more than one occasion he flip-flopped whether the defendant or respondent was entitled to certain property, and there were often math errors in his calculations. It seemed that he would have had us or his receptionist review things before sending them out, but that generally was not the case. Mr. Lawrence was more concerned with responding quickly to motions/filings than getting things correctly. We would not use him again, or recommend using him.

Unfortunately I din't have a stellar experience in working with Michael Lawrence, I didn't feel that he devoted the proper level of attention to my case. 1. He was texting and preparing for another case while we were in front of the commissioner. 2. He asked me if I had the documentation while we were at court. He wasn't prepared. 3. He quoted information back to me as if I had said it. "you said this, you said that." which I had not. 4. I had an active retainer (paid up and money in the pot), but since I had become unemployed and didn't own property he dropped me as a client. Well, I think I'm grateful that I didn't continue. You may have a different experience. I just recommend that you ask him to pay attention to your case and focus on your needs if you do hire him and not allow multi-tasking.

No wander lawyers have such horrible jokes written about them and there similarities to the devil. I hope that one day he gets what he deserves. I wouldn't recommend him to my worst enemy.

My father was a client of Mr. Lawrence in what should have been a simple divorce case. We knew going in that Mr. Lawrence is a one man shop (no associates) but were disappointed when almost every motion, response, or filing had obvious typos. Often my father's name was spelled incorrectly, on more than one occasion he flip-flopped whether the defendant or respondent was entitled to certain property, and there were often math errors in his calculations. It seemed that he would have had us or his receptionist review things before sending them out, but that generally was not the case. Mr. Lawrence was more concerned with responding quickly to motions/filings than getting things correctly. We would not use him again, or recommend using him.

Unfortunately I din't have a stellar experience in working with Michael Lawrence, I didn't feel that he devoted the proper level of attention to my case. 1. He was texting and preparing for another case while we were in front of the commissioner. 2. He asked me if I had the documentation while we were at court. He wasn't prepared. 3. He quoted information back to me as if I had said it. "you said this, you said that." which I had not. 4. I had an active retainer (paid up and money in the pot), but since I had become unemployed and didn't own property he dropped me as a client. Well, I think I'm grateful that I didn't continue. You may have a different experience. I just recommend that you ask him to pay attention to your case and focus on your needs if you do hire him and not allow multi-tasking.

I was asked to resubmit my review of this attorney, though I don't feel there was anything wrong with the first review I provided. I hired C. Michael in a divorce, I had a prenuptial agreement and my wife decided to contest the divorce and filed a counter claim.This attorney is a good paper shuffler and not good a providing reliable honest advice. He would not allow me to say anything at the trial before the judge and based my case essentially on one question, "If he were a millionaire would you have signed the prenuptial agreement? She said she didn't understand the question. He dropped it dead in the water and didn't follow up at all. The judges decision was disastrous to me He didn't ever provide me with a copy of my exs financial declaration (which she omitted future financial assets from) He didn't inform me that my retainer was ever credited towards my account and when I asked his office for financial leger copies of my account I was told they had went to a different record keeping system and those records were thrown out. He discouraged me from filing an appeal if I got a bad decision in the divorce, claiming it would be very expensive and it would have to be in bound book form I was also a client of the same attorney on a False stalking charge my ex filed against me, he advised me to plead guilty in abeyance and after a year that would be the end of it. Though I disagreed with his advise, which was for me to lie and plead guilty to a charge I did not commit. I followed his advise. Later when I contacted his office, he didn't even have copies of the receipt that I paid the court costs and I had to send him a copy. I ended up paying the costs of doing it myself to get the record expunged.
