Excellent services, very professional and helpful with everything. Always very responsive to all of your questions and needs Made the process very easy for us.
It’s time to give thanks to an amazing professional. My case spanned 6 years, 2 states, and many attorneys before Mr. Lawson entered the picture. This was a complicated case that scared many attorneys away, many of whom told me, after my daughter was taken, that I would never get her back. I reached out to Mr. Lawson and shared our situation with him. He had clear parameters (just an example of his uber professionalism), but he agreed to take the case. Whereas other attorneys were perplexed by the case, Mr. Lawson was not. After just 3 months of being on the job, he dissected the situation, then successfully executed his plan. It ended with me getting sole custody. He worked tirelessly and was the first attorney I had who read everything from the inception of the case (I mean every email, every document, every bit of information I had, and that was very comforting). He knows the laws and procedures inside and out, and his ability to take control of the situation was textbook. He helps you gain an understanding of it also. He truly cared about my daughter as a person who would be affected by the outcome, not just as a commodity of the case, as the prior attorneys seemed to view her. Also he makes you know he’s got this. He gave my daughter and I life, please allow him to enter your life….it’s worth it. I could go on forever. I hope this helps another person in an impossible situation, as my daughter and I were in. As a friend of mine described him - HE IS A BEAST OF AN ATTORNEY!
I was assigned to Mr. Lawson. He was patient with me when I had so much to say and was completely unsure of the process and the possible outcomes. I was immediately relieved once we spoke. He was confident that the outcome would be in mine and my child’s favor. He offered guidance on the steps to take. He was calm, humble and communicative. I’m very grateful to him.
Charles Lawson is an amazing attorney who helped me gain full custody of my daughter just when I thought I shouldn’t fight and just give up.
