30. #FEMSQUIRE Series: NJ Divorce Lawyer Jeralyn "J. Law" Lawrence, Esq.
NJ Divorce Lawyer Jeralyn Lawrence inherited an entire family law department practically right out of law school. Rather than let fear hold her back, Jeralyn rose to the occasion and built a thriving family department from scratch at a large firm while she was still learning her way around a courtroom. Almost 20 years later, Jeralyn has left big law to build her own law firm. Jeralyn talks about her career trajectory beginning with her young aspirations to be a lawyer, how she was instrumental in changing the evolving alimony laws in New Jersey, what she hopes to change in the future, and what drives her. There is no sign of Jeralyn slowing down as she is in line to be President of the NJ State Bar Association in three years. Hear how she does it and how you can too.
