Attorney review

Thank you, Jeralyn and Dan for your professional representation, and for making a very difficult part of my life goes smoothly. Your guidance, support and honesty are admirable. I appreciate your meticulous attention to detail which got me excellent results. This firm stands by their amazing reputat...ion. Jeralyn, you are a tower of strength in the court room, and beyond!

When Times Were Tough They Were Just a Phone Call Away

I would like to thank Emily and Jeralyn for the support and help they gave me during the divorce. It was very stressful for me during the divorce. Both Emily and Jeralyn were there for me. Emily answered any questions that I had very truthfully. I was told all the messages that occurred between h...er and my ex-wife’s attorney. Good Lawyers, if you are going for a divorce, and most importantly, after the divorce. When times were tough, they were just a phone call away.

Child Support Help

The non custodial parent has not paid child support in almost a year, won't respond to phone calls or letters. Reached out to Lawrence Law and they were able to send me helpful articles for next steps, despite being outside my state. Thank you for listening.

Made a difficult time easier

I had found Jeralyn through an attorney search and decided to meet with her because of the Law firm she works with. Jeralyn is a divorce attorney, so can't say I met with her under the best of circumstances. I was very emotional at the consultation. Jeralyn' patience and understanding were tested by ...me, but she listened and gave her best recommendation. I did select Jeralyn for my attorney. She made me feel protected and cared for. I trusted her to fight for me and i allowed her to do a majority of the speaking for me. She never made a move or said anything that she did not ask me about first. I was well informed by her and her entire team. Like I said, finding her under the circumstances I did, I could not have made a better choice. I felt like I was part of her family with how she cared for me. If I had to go thru a divorce, I am glad I went through it with Jeralyn. She was my hero.

Great lawyer!

Jeralyn stood by me every step of the way. She is very responsive and stays focused on the big picture. She is very smart, passionate and caring. Thankful to have her by my side.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
