As an attorney I know how important it is to choose the best representation. Lawrence Law was responsive and decisive and had a clear vision for how to best handle my child custody case. Jerayln and Emily worked together to get my divorce finalized and ensured that I received a fair custody agreement. I highly recommend Lawrence Law!!

The arduous process of divorce is complicated and not linear. I thoroughly trusted my legal counsel at Lawrence Law. The team at Lawrence law was 100% responsive, professional and compassionate in meeting my specific needs-of particular note was the expertise and true star power of Emily Urrico. Emily is that rare professional who embodies the technique of caring for the client in total...a tall order when emotions and stakes are at an all time high. Jeralyn Lawrence is thorough and top notch-I was actually referred to Jeralyn by my coworkers in leadership positions at a Fortune 500 company.

Jeralyn and her team are wonderful! I worked with Jeralyn on a post-divorce proceeding and she was an amazing advocate. She was knowledgeable, reasonable, supportive and practical. She counseled me through motions filed by an unreasonable ex who blamed me for the situation he created. Jeralyn, along with her team of attorneys, paralegals and administrative associates, helped me stay calm when my ex created chaos and uncertainty during the process. I would HIGHLY recommend Jeralyn to anyone going through a divorce or family matter, especially if you have a difficult ex-partner.

The decisions made were best for my family and moving forward in life.

Jeralyn Lawrence, Esq. and her law firm are of finest quality. Ms. Lawrence is held in the highest regard by her colleagues (including Judges) in the area of divorce and family law. Her knowledge, expertise, experience, and professional demeanor were immediately evident at our first meeting and throughout the entire process. I had the utmost confidence in her and her staff from the beginning. Ms. Lawrence brought my case to a timely resolution, which was very satisfactory. I wish that she had been my attorney from the very start of my divorce process. I highly recommend Jeralyn Lawrence, Esq. and

Nothing could have made this situation easy but they made it as painless as possible. I was very impressed with their professionalism and knowledge in regards to what steps need to be taken to get the divorce finalized as quickly as possible. Thank you so much for all your kindness and help!

When I hired Daniel Burton for my child custody case, I had already met with several other attorneys. My consultation with Dan was the first time I felt truly heard. He listened to me without interrupting and addressed every single one of my questions and concerns. During an extremely stressful and tumultuous time of my life, Dan was my peace. I felt extremely confident in his ability and guidance throughout the entire process of preparing to file right up to appearing in court. On top of being extremely knowledgeable, he's also incredibly kind. I felt extremely at ease in court with Dan
