Remember the Fen-Phen disaster? If you don’t remember it, way back around 2006 the Fen-Phen class action settlement became the biggest black eye the legal profession has seen in a long time because four attorneys conspired to keep millions of dollars from the settlement that should have gone to their clients. Then a judge rubber stamped the whole sordid mess. There was a public outcry (justified) that left a lot of people wondering if justice would ever be served (not justified).

Justice Has Been Served

All of the attorneys and the judge have been disbarred. Two of the attorneys are serving what amounts to life sentences in prison based on their age and health. A third attorney went through a criminal trial and was acquitted. And within the last month, the final attorney – Stan Chesley of Cincinnati, Ohio – was ordered to pay back $42 Million dollars to the Fen-Phen victims. If he fails or refuses to do so, he could be held in contempt of court and also see jail time. It wasn’t fast. It wasn’t pretty. But justice was served.

Policing It’s Own

I’m proud to work in a system that doesn’t just take care of its own (and I’m looking at American Medical Association here), but rather polices its own and makes sure victims get what they deserve. It’s your justice system. Fight to keep it strong.

Information About Product Liability Cases

When a poorly designed or manufactured product causes an injury, the victim can claim compensation for financial loses, pain and emotional suffering. The families of people killed by a dangerous product can also seek compensation. Product liability cases are often hard-fought and present numerous liability and technical challenges. You should seek out an attorney who has the experience, skills and resources needed to meet these challenges.

If you or someone you know has been hurt by a product in Kentucky or Ohio, you need an attorney. Lawrence & Associates has a long record of success in personal injury litigation in Kentucky and Ohio.

At the firm of Lawrence & Associates in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky, we fight for the rights of people who have suffered serious injuries and the families of fatal accident victims. We work tirelessly to help our clients get compensation and deal with the medical, financial and emotional effects of serious accidents. We want to share with you the results of a case we oversaw in September of 2011. We will supply as many details as possible while still respecting our clients need for privacy.

The Situation

Our client was in a motor vehicle accident in September 2011 when another driver ran a stop sign and T-boned her vehicle.

The Injury

Our client suffered low back pain and her doctor recommended surgery that our client was unable to go through because of her work schedule. She went to physical therapy instead but knew she was going to need surgery at some point in the future. The insurance company wouldn’t pay for a surgery that hadn’t happened yet, and our client needed help.

The Result

Lawrence & Associates got our client a settlement that not only paid for the physical therapy medical bills, but also contained extra money to be used for the future surgery. The other driver’s carrier was forced to compensate our client without hiding behind frivolous defenses.

At the firm of Lawrence & Associates in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky, we fight for the rights of people who have suffered serious injuries and the families of fatal accident victims. We work tirelessly to help our clients get compensation and deal with the medical, financial and emotional effects of serious accidents. We want to share with you the results of a case we oversaw in July 2013. We will supply as many details as possible while still respecting our clients need for privacy.

The Situation

Our client was traveling from Miami to Chicago by bus when the bus he was on had to make a sudden stop and ran off the road in Northern Kentucky. Since the wreck happened in Northern Kentucky, our client was forced to file a claim in a Kentucky court as well. The bus company’s insurance carrier did not believe that our client was injured in the wreck.

The Injury

Our client had been asleep when the wreck happened and was thrown into the air. He landed on an armrest on his lower back, which caused his injuries, including a disc bulge in his spinal column.

The Result

Lawrence & Associates was able to prove the injury was related to the bus wreck and forced the company’s insurance carrier to pay our client for his medical treatment and pain and suffering without him ever having to return to Kentucky or file a lawsuit.

Firm Founder Focusing on Personal Injury

I’ve been practicing law since October 2005 and I found Lawrence & Associates. I currently oversee all practice areas, including Personal Injury, Workers’ Compensation, and Bankruptcy. However, my hands-on work is mostly in Personal Injury litigation, particularly for products liability and admiralty cases.

Devoted to Helping People Get Back on Their Feet

I went to law school because I wanted to help people. No one needs help more than someone that’s had a traumatic life event. Whether you’ve been hurt and can’t pay medical bills, or lost your job and can’t pay your mortgage, I take a lot of pride in fact that my firm can help get you back on your feet.

I always wanted to represent people, not businesses. I would have to walk off the job the first time a business wanted me to sue a single mom, or something like that. Also, I worked at Children’s Hospital during law school and knew medical records pretty well. So I focused on an area of practice where I knew I’d be helping people and could put my medical based skills to good use. Lawrence & Associates started off practicing in personal injury and expanded from there.

The Future For Lawrence & Associates

Lawrence & Associates needs to continue to grow and sometimes it’s tough because there are a lot of cheap, gimmicky lawyers out there.  Most prospective clients have trouble telling the difference between good lawyers and bad. Getting past the static created by those silly commercials is a major challenge to my firm’s ability to represent those in need.

Lawrence & Associates wants to grow to become the premier legal representation for people in the Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati areas. We want to expand our ability to help people with personal injury, workers’ compensation and bankruptcy cases, as well as expand into other areas of practice such as estate planning and elder law.

Our Firm Sets Ourselves Apart Through Client Satisfaction

We are simply the best in client satisfaction, hands down. Most of our business comes from referrals, and a lot of those are from prior clients. We communicate well with our clients and get results. All our fees are up front and there are no hidden charges. We know good service leads to more business down the road than campy commercials or tired gimmicks.

Success is Helping Our Clients with Their Problems…And Winning!

I’ve had clients hug me in the courtroom when they realize we’ve accomplished whatever we set out to do. I’ve brought in millions of dollars for my clients, including two multi-million dollar cases so far in 2014. Both are forms of success to my firm and I. My firm and I like winning, and we win a lot.

Keys to my success are empathy, public speaking, persistence, and continual learning. My background working at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital gave me a unique perspective into medical treatment that helps benefit my clients. Also, I’m one of very few people who actually enjoys and looks forward to public speaking. This helps a great deal in the courtroom. In regard to education, I’ve spent the last nine years focusing on the personal injury, workers’ compensation, and bankruptcy areas of practice, and I’ve taken hundreds of hours of continuing education in those areas.

Giving Back to the Community

I focus on helping children with disabilities. I’m on the Board of Directors of Redwood and sponsor several of their events. Redwood is a school that helps children and adults with disabilities lead happy, enriching lives that are incorporated into the mainstream community wherever possible. I have also been appointed by the governor to sit on the Commonwealth of Kentucky’s Interagency Coordinating Council for Early Childhood Development, which focuses on helping children with disabilities meet their developmental goals from birth to age three.
