Richard D. Lawrence has been trying cases for over thirty-nine years in Southern Ohio and Northern Kentucky. Early years of practice included successful defense of persons accused of serious crimes including murder. Since the 1980's he has concentrated on representing those who have been catastrophically injured as a result of negligent medical care. He holds one of the largest verdicts in a medical malpractice case in both the State of Ohio and in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. He was married to his high school sweetheart, Diana, for 42 years. In recent years he became a widower after his wife passed away following a long illness. He is the proud father and grandfather of five children and six grandchildren. He works with many close friends within the firm as well as his two daughters, Jennifer and Lindsay and his son-in-law, Rob Lewis. When he is not preparing for cross-examination he enjoys playing golf, traveling and spending time with his children and grandchildren.
