About Lawrence
Biography
My law practice is dedicated to protecting individuals’ rights and aggressively fighting for them in both criminal defense and family law matters. Over the past 25 years, my office has experienced great growth. Our focus, however, has remained the same – our clients.
While my professional background and experience is important for you to know, many of my clients appreciate learning a bit about who I am outside of work. I have been married for 29 years, and my wife and I have seven children. I stay active by participating in 5k races, riding my bike, and playing sand volleyball. I am a fan of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln athletic programs (Go Huskers), and I also enjoy Tom Clancy novels.
As your lawyer, I will do my absolute best for you.

I am not from Nebraska, but I was pulled over while I was traveling through the state. My car was searched, and I was arrested. I called Mr. Whelan, and he took care of everything.
