— Attorney Lawren D. Burroughs
We provide cost-effective legal representation in the following practice areas:
Family Law. Effective representation for the legal issues that concern families.
Real Estate. Our real estate services are built on a family-first approach—providing compassionate, affordable legal guidance to protect what matters most, while partnering with reputable investors to offer ethical solutions for families facing foreclosure across Virginia.
Divorce. We assist clients in all legal facets involved in the dissolution of marriage.
Uncontested Divorce. Spouses who agree on the key issues involved in a divorce can save the cost and time of the family court. We also offer online support for an uncontested divorce with several low-cost options at Frugal Legal Services.
Alimony/Spousal Support. We help our clients understand how spousal support laws apply to their specific situations.

Post-Decree Modifications. When your life changes, your court-ordered support, visitation, and alimony should also.

This is an affordable option for people seeking to adopt a child with whom they have a legally defined legitimate interest. This currently includes all LGBTQIA+ families, regardless of their marital status. Please visit our page dedicated to this topic or call our office for help today.
Domestic Violence. The consequences of a conviction on charges of domestic violence can affect your life, your family, and your ability to earn a living for years to come.
