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.
