Our office isn’t just about legal filings and court dates. it’s about people. Every day, I watch our team show up with compassion, courage, and commitment for each other and for our clients.
We laugh. We support. We problem solve. And when a client gets the outcome they hoped for, or a child is protected, or a family finds peace, we celebrate that win together.
Lawrence Law is more than a firm. It’s a community and I’m proud of what we’ve built.

One of the hardest cases I ever handled involved a complex custody dispute where both parents truly loved their children and yet couldn’t agree on anything. It reminded me that divorce isn’t about villains and heroes. It’s about pain, fear, and change. My job wasn’t just to advocate – it was to listen, advocate, and address the children’s best interests.
That case shaped the way I practice today: with my heart, with strategy, and always with the long view in mind.

Strength in divorce doesn’t look like what you think. It’s not yelling in court or getting every dollar. it’s showing up when you’d rather stay in bed. It’s choosing what’s best for your kids. It’s trusting the process when the future feels uncertain. I’ve seen strength in the quietest moments, in the tears, in the deep breaths, in the willingness to take the next step. That’s the kind of strength we walk alongside every day.

In divorce, it’s tempting to fight every issue. But the truth is not every battle is worth emotional and financial cost.
My job isn’t just to win arguments. It’s to help you win your life back. Sometimes that means knowing when to push hard and when to let go. We always keep the big picture in mind: your peace, your future, your children.
