Most law firms will tell you they fight hard for their clients. At Lawrence & Associates, we can show you what that actually looks like in the numbers. More than 99% of our cases end in a win, and that rate has stayed consistent year after year. But a statistic like that raises fair questions. How is it calculated? What does a “win” actually mean? And why does it hold so steady?
We think you deserve straight answers to all of those.
How We Calculate the 99% Win Rate
We track every case and mark it with a reason for closure. There is a 90-day investigation period at the start of every case, and we do not count cases that close within that window in either direction. It would not be fair to count a case that closed before we had a full opportunity to work it.
From day 91 forward, the math is simple. Any case marked “Settled/Won” counts as a win. Any other outcome counts as a loss. More than 99% of our cases land in the win column.
No manipulated sample sizes. No cherry-picked case types. Just a straightforward look at how our cases actually resolve.
What Counts as a Win
A successful case at Lawrence & Associates is one we win at a hearing or trial, or one we settle at the client’s direction. That second part matters. We do not push clients toward settlements that benefit us or pressure anyone into accepting less than they deserve. A settlement only counts as a win when the client says it is.
This ties directly to how we structure our fees. We work on contingency, which means we only get paid when you win. That is not just a convenience for clients; it is the foundation of how we operate. Our interests and your interests are the same from day one. If we do not win, we do not get paid. It is that simple, and it works.
Why the Rate Has Stayed Consistent
Sustained results like these do not happen by accident. According to Justin Lawrence, there are a few reasons the firm has maintained this rate over the years.
Being the agenda setter. A lot of firms take a passive approach, waiting for things to develop rather than driving them forward. Lawrence & Associates operates differently. We pursue resolution aggressively, which means filing when it’s time to file, sending demands when the evidence supports them, and keeping cases moving rather than letting them stall. When you control the pace, you control more of the outcome.
Training, every year. The firm invests in ongoing, structured internal training every single year. This is not as common as you might think. Many firms rely on a journeyman model where younger attorneys simply shadow senior ones and learn on the job. That approach leaves too much to chance. Planned, intentional training on the best ways to conduct hearings, cross-examine experts, and gather evidence produces better results every time.
A well-rounded skill set. Justin describes the job this way: personal injury attorneys have to be detectives in how they find facts, doctors in how they understand medical diagnoses and prognoses, and politicians in how they persuade people. The firm trains on all three. That kind of range is what lets attorneys handle cases thoroughly rather than reactively.
The Mistakes Other Firms Make
Experience in this field also means seeing where other firms fall short. The patterns show up consistently.
Firms that go quiet on their clients miss critical information. Firms that wait too long to file or send a demand lose leverage. Firms that are passive, that wait for things to happen instead of making them happen, give up control of outcomes they could have shaped.
These are not small missteps. They directly affect what clients recover. A missed deadline or a late demand can cost someone thousands of dollars, or their entire case.
Why Communication Is Part of the Win
There is a direct line between how well a firm communicates with its clients and how cases turn out. Strong, consistent communication does more than keep clients informed; it actually surfaces facts that improve outcomes.
Clients sometimes share details they did not think were relevant, a comment from the other driver, a symptom that developed later, a witness who was nearby. Those details can open entire new categories of damages that would never have come to light if the attorney was not taking the time to actually talk to the client. As Justin puts it: client experience leads to good communication, and good communication leads to better outcomes.
This is why the Communication Promise at Lawrence & Associates is not just a nice policy. It is a formal commitment built into the way the firm operates. Clients receive updates at least once a month, and the moment something significant happens, they hear about it immediately. That standard is guaranteed under our Client Bill of Rights, which outlines the rights every client is entitled to from day one.
What This Means for You
A 99% win rate is meaningful, but it means the most when you understand what is behind it: a contingency fee structure that aligns the firm’s success with yours, a team that trains continuously on how to build and argue cases, a commitment to staying proactive instead of waiting for outcomes to happen, and a communication standard that keeps clients close enough to actually contribute to their own cases.
