Lawren D. Burroughs

Lawren is a tireless advocate for her clients. She comes well prepared and ready to fight if necessary but understands the value that a negotiated settlement brings.

Lawren and Jennifer Burroughs walked me through my divorce, step-by-step, from day one. My (now) ex-husband and I had been married 24 years and we decided that we didn't want to pay attorneys thousands of dollars to get a divorce, so we opted to work together to get an uncontested divorce. I found the Burroughs Law Firm just by googling "uncontested online divorce". They had all great reviews so I decided to give them a call. This was one of the best decisions I've ever made! From day one, Lawren and Jennifer Burroughs walked me through this process, step-by-step. Lawren and I communicated via e-mails, and mostly through a secure online site. Jennifer and I texted or talked on the phone. Both of them answered any and all questions I asked (and I definitely had lots of them) in a timely manner, often working after regular business hours and even on weekends. They both treated me with kindness and respect, and showed compassion whenever I got emotional. They understand that going through a divorce is one of the hardest things a person can experience. Whenever I was confused or got stressed out about any procedures, documents, or computer issues, they simplified instructions and talked me through it. It really saved me so much time to not have to go to court or meet in person. The Burroughs Law Office guided me through my divorce process smoothly and in just a couple of months! I am still in awe of how quickly and inexpensively it was, and I deeply appreciate Lawren and Jennifer!

Was so fortunate to have stumbled upon this law office. Although I am not located near her office (I live in NOVA) Lawren was able to take on my non contested divorce case. Everything was SO easy and communication was top notch. She would answer promptly and reach out with questions and easy to understand instructions for what I needed to do. So happy to have this chapter of my life closed and I thank Lawren for all her support in making this such an easy, AFFORDABLE, process.

I needed a no contest divorce and I looked online and found Lawren Burroughs. There were a few others that did inexpensive, no contest, online divorces, but the reviews were bad. Lawren's reviews were good, so I went with her and I couldn't be happier. My ex-husband was deployed, so things dragged out for a bit on our side, but as soon as I had an update, Lawren responded promptly. I would recommend her to anyone in need of legal services.

I chose Frugal Law based on reviews, cost, and the fact that there was an actual Virginia lawyer at the other end of the email rather than some generic online service that may or may not have properly updated forms or be as aware of specific state law as they should. Mr. Burroughs not only provided the service of a no-fault divorce, but he did so with outstanding attitude and courtesy, quick responses to numerous, numerous questions, and kindly handled a stressful situation very helpfully. I feel that he went beyond his duty in giving advice when my (now) ex suddenly decided to stop cooperating. It all worked out and once we got the final paperwork in, the divorce was done in less than two weeks!

I'm not the sort of person that usually writes reviews for things, but Lawrence and his company was excellent throughout the whole process and deserve props for that. I was very slow getting all the paperwork together, ending up taking almost two years to get everything done, but when I sent something in they were usually on it within a few days. Very polite, good advice throughout. Really good.

I chose Atty. Burroughs because of research- costs and reviews. I contacted him by email, he responded very quickly to my questions. He sent the forms after I requested them so I could file for an uncontested divorce. Made the process simple and easy for me. No drama!

I used Frugal Legal Service to for a Seperation agreement and uncontested divorce. The whole process was convenient, fast and affordable. I definfinitely recommend Frugal Legal Services.

I went to them to get a uncontested divorce. It was a very easy process and Mr. Burroughs was always there if I had any questions at all. I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a uncontested divorce. Thank you so much for making it easy and working fast.

"I honestly don't even know where to start. When I was served with papers by my ex-husband who already had custody of our 4 year old son, I was floored. He was taking me to court for all of my parental rights to be stripped and to cut me out of my sons life once and for all. My first reaction was to jump on the phone and start dialing every number to every lawyer I could find on Google! after several interviews I was starting to feel hopeless...like none of them were truly going to fight for me, I felt like a lost cause. Until my final attempt. Heartbroken and scared for my childs and my relationship, I did one last search for lawyers in the Norfolk/Virginia Beach area. Burroughs Law popped up and I didn't recognise the name from prior attempts so I read through his profile...one word in particular popped out at me, ''hollistically". Instantly I felt connected and knew these were my people, so I called. Boy was I right!! Geneva Van Pelt answered the phone and I felt immediately as though I was talking to an old friend. She joked with me, laughed with me, got mad WITH ME at the horrific things my ex was attempting to do. I hadn't even felt that at ease when speaking with family and friends. She immediately had my back and for once in several weeks, I felt like things were going to be ok! She immediately set up an interview with Larry and I felt like I was waiting to go to Disney Land! I couldn't wait to speak with him and get everything started! The day finally came and Mr. Burroughs and I had a wonderful conversation. He LISTENED, he didn't talk to me like I was a nobody, like I didn't matter. He instilled confidence in me, made me truly believe that all would be ok and he would not let me fall. He gave me the advice I needed and the steps to get things done. If I felt nervous or scared, I called or emailed him and he reassured me. If I was angry and needed to vent, he was there for me to lean on. While we were in court, he had a professional, kind, and confident presence with our "team"...he held it together beautifully and gracefully to help maintain MY sanity. But somehow in all that calm, you could still see the storm clouds rolling in quietly. He had a subtle intimidation that rocked my ex to the core. He never hestiated, stood his ground, and didn't allow things to go unmentioned when we were in front of the judge. He may be a gentle giant but he is certainly no pushover and he knows his job and DOES his job well. Now that court has passed, I still remain in touch. Larry and Geneva are amazing people who helped me through one of the hardest times of my life and I will forever be grateful for the both of them. I would whole heartedly recommend Burroughs Law to anyone! "

Two people I cannot imagine my life without. Larry, I cannot put into words the immense gratitude I feel towards you and all that you have done for me and my family. Never once did you judge me or make me feel like I did anything wrong. You calmed me when I was scared and gave me courage when I thought I was surely drained of all hope. I couldn't have had a better attorney on my team. Geneva Van Pelt, you are one amazing woman...you gossiped and trash talked with me...leting me vent any time I needed it...your patience, understanding, compassion and love for your job and the people you both help is the GLUE to this law firm. You are the face of Burroughs Law and you represent it beautifully. I love and cherish you both...you became a part of a very extended family over the last few months during one of the most difficult times of my life and you bet we will always be in touch!

Thorough and caring is a rare combination for an Attorney. Mr. Burroughs and his assistant Geneva were there for me at every turn of my messy and contested divorce. I would have paid double.

Mr. Burroughs is not just a divorce attorney, he is a true family law attorney. I was so confused about how to handle the custody of our children and what my spouse should or could receive after the divorce. He didn't necessarily say what I wanted to hear but he was honest and thorough and the end result was the best for me, my spouse, and the children. He and his staff were patient and helpful at all times, despite my incessant phone calls and crazy questions. His assistant always returned my calls even if just to say that Mr. Burroughs was out and would get back to me by e-mail. His rates are more reasonable than other attorneys and he was worth every penny and then some. I would recommend him for military divorce or any family law in general.

Mr. Burroughs represented my case in an ethical, professional manner. His knowledge of the Virginia Commonwealth laws are profound. Mr. Burroughs representation allowed my family stability for our future. He was able to show the court that I was intitled to a retirement settlement. His persistance and dedication enforced the law to have the individual to make resonable monthly payments at a timely manner. Mr. Burroughs is a family man that is caring, trustworthy and knowledgable. I would definitly recommend Mr. Burroughs to anyone who is looking for an honest, aggressive, compassionate and knowledgable lawyer in the Hampton Roads area.
