The Lawrence Law Group

Greg Lawrence's practice has focused on injury, insurance and nursing home cases. He has handled trials in the state, federal and bankruptcy courts, including cases arising from automobile accidents, civil rights violations, real estate disputes, bankruptcy disputes and insurance disputes. Mr. Lawrence is "AV" rated, which the highest rating an attorney can receive from the prestigious Martindale-Hubbell peer review rating system. He has been designated as a "SuperLawyer" in Florida, which is awarded to the top 5% of attorneys in the state. He has also been named among Florida's "Legal Elite" by Florida Trend magazine.

Mr. Lawrence graduated with honors from the University of Florida in 1993. For the first four years of his practice, Mr. Lawrence represented mostly insurance companies defending personal injury claims. Back then, his major clients included all of the "Hardee's," "Denny's," and "Quincy's" restaurants in Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Lake City, Florida, handling the defense of injury cases. This gave him unique insight into the strategies and perspectives of insurers, information which is now extremely helpful in representing injured people. Mr. Lawrence left the defense practice in 1998 to start his own firm focusing on plaintiff's rights.

He has volunteered as a Guardian Ad Litem, through which he has been appointed to speak on behalf of children in difficult family situations. Mr. Lawrence has provided pro bono legal work for local and statewide environmental organizations including the Sierra Club and the Florida Wildlife Federation.

Client Reviews
★★★★★
I have known Mr. Lawrence for several years and in my opinion he is the most professional and trustworthy lawyer I have ever known. I have had dealings with other lawyers but they were not as good as Mr. Lawrence. I would highly recommend him. Carla
★★★★★
I was referred to Greg by a coworker after I received a bad injury from an auto accident and was so pleased with Greg, and staff. They literally took care of everything for me while I was healing and kept me updated every step of the way. Calls and emails were always accepted and returned promptly and they were extremely patient and helpful with any questions and concerns that I had. Should I ever need legal assistance again I will definitely be calling him and referring him to family and friends. Amie M.
★★★★★
I had a difficult disability case, and was referred to Greg by a judge. As an experienced lawyer myself, I was apprehensive about using someone I didn't know. As it turned out, however, I could not have been more pleased. Greg mastered the case in no time, and was nothing short of brilliant in getting me a substantial settlement. He's a lawyer's lawyer, and I recommend him highly and without reservation. Steve
★★★★★
I would like to take a moment to say thanks to Greg, and his staff for doing an excellent job with my deceased mothers nursing home case. After hiring two other law firms my brothers and I decided to hire Greg. This was the best decision that we made regarding this case. Greg took the time to get to know who our deceased mother was, and the important facts involving our claim. As a result Greg was successful in resolving our claim to our satisfaction. Greg is the best attorney that I have ever met! I would highly recommend hiring Greg for any nursing home, or any other claims. Falsario Arnold
★★★★★
Of all the things that pleased me about Greg was that he was always available to me. If I called or emailed, I spoke to him and wasn't pushed off to one of his paralegals or assistants (although they were very helpful as well). I felt like I had a lawyer - not a factory. Scott
