"Kate's an absolute genius at making sure contractors get paid. The reality is, that until situations get more dire and urgent, an attorney is not necessarily the first place contractors want to call for help because it's expensive. But without question, everyone I know who works with Kate, swears by her. They know she will work for them and represent their best interests. She has great integrity and great commitment to her clients."

"You don't feel like you are that needle in the haystack where you can't put a face to a name. You feel like things are a little bit more personalized because [Lawrence Law] is a smaller firm. So you have that familiarity with all of the employees on the team."

"It’s been a pleasure working with Lawrence Law. I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate closely [with members of their team] on various legal matters, and I am happy to say these collaborations have consistently led to positive outcomes. I’ve found the firm to be highly professional and extremely capable, particularly in the areas of real estate and construction for business matters. Therefore, I wholeheartedly give them my highest recommendation."
