what our clients say

I was in an accident with a semi, Lawrence & Associates represented me and I loved how I was treated very professional.

-April Hearn

I contacted Justin Lawrence to handle a legal issue that he previously tried in the Kentucky Supreme Court. Based on his experience and knowledge, the entire situation was resolved with a liability carrier in less than 6 weeks. His office was easy to work with and responded to all inquiries the same day.

-Carol Greissman

I had been trying for four years to get disability after hurting my back to the point I could barely walk. In those four years I developed other ailments like fibromyalgia and arthritis. Lawrence and Associates helped me to finally get approved and I couldn’t be more thankful!!
