As a divorced father, he understands the trauma of divorce first hand and strives to help prepare his divorcing clients for life after their divorce. Lawrence is also committed to his clients and his community. He volunteered his time for 7 years at Illinois’ largest divorce care group, has donated his time to help the underprivileged at Administer Justice, Between Friends, and recently founded christiandivorcelawyers.com as a resource for those struggling with Christian faith-based family law and divorce issues.
