Where he started: the defense side
Laurence was born and raised in County Wexford, Ireland. He studied law and business at University College Dublin, graduating summa cum laude, and spent an exchange year in Belgium studying European Business Law in French. He was admitted to the New York bar in 2009.
His first job as a lawyer was on the other side of the table. From 2009 to 2010 he was an associate at Wilbraham, Lawler & Buba, doing insurance-defense products liability work. The clients were corporations and their insurers. The job was finding the weak points in the claims people brought against them.
That experience shapes how this site is written. Companies sued under the TCPA almost always raise the same defenses: you consented, we did not use an autodialer, someone else made the calls, or you cannot prove how many calls there were. Knowing how a defense lawyer reads a file is the reason the pages here push you to document early and to be honest about weak spots.
Banville Law
Laurence has been Managing Partner of Banville Law since 2015. The firm’s legal name is Banville Law, PLLC, and its office is at 520 White Plains Road #500 in Tarrytown, New York.
For TCPA matters, Banville Law may refer your matter to, or work as co-counsel with, another law firm. You will be told before any referral and may choose other counsel. The TCPA lawyer page explains how that works for cases filed outside New York and D.C.
Why he publishes RobocallLawsuit.com
Most people who get illegal robocalls never find out the law gives them a claim. The ones who do search for answers tend to find either sales pitches or legal text with no translation. This site exists to close that gap: the actual rule, in plain English, with the statute or regulation cited so you can check it yourself.
The site follows three rules. Every number and deadline links to a primary source, such as the statute, the FCC’s rules, a court opinion, or a settlement administrator’s website. Nothing is stated about a company that a public record does not show. And pages say so when a situation is probably not a case.
To be clear about his record: this page makes no claims about past TCPA verdicts or settlements. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome in any case.
