WHO I AM
I’m Hon. Lawrence F. Army Jr. (Ret.), a former Probate and Family Court Justice and nationally recognized divorce attorney.

- Appellate Consultation: Guiding attorneys and self-represented litigants through family law appeals, from issue identification to final argument.
- Trial Consulting: Supporting solo practitioners and firms of all sizes in building persuasive cases and refining courtroom strategy.
