About Elizabeth Anu
Elizabeth Anu Lawrence earned her law degree from the University of Baltimore School of Law in 2005. She left law school as the legal landscape was shifting. Over the years she has kept pace with those changes and built a steady professional practice.
After graduating, Lawrence entered the legal profession in the mid-2000s and has practiced continuously since. She is admitted to the bars of both the District of Columbia and Maryland.

Colleagues describe her as practical and deliberate in handling legal problems. She has experience in courtroom settings and in transactional and counseling roles. Lawrence approaches clients’ issues by assessing risks, explaining options clearly, and pursuing the course that aligns with a client’s goals. Her practice over time has involved pleadings, hearings, negotiations, and drafting important documents. She pays attention to procedural detail and to deadlines, which she sees as central to effective representation.
Outside of individual matters, Lawrence has maintained a steady connection to the legal communities in both jurisdictions where she is licensed. She has worked with peers and court personnel across Maryland and the District, gaining an understanding of local practices and expectations. That local knowledge informs how she prepares cases and advises clients, whether dealing with administrative agencies or civil courts.
In day-to-day practice she balances advocacy in contested matters with counseling that aims to prevent disputes. Her clients come from a range of backgrounds and bring a variety of legal questions. Lawrence is known for a methodical approach that privileges clarity and concise communication. She keeps files organized and prioritizes strategies that move matters to resolution without unnecessary delay.
As of 2026, Elizabeth Anu Lawrence continues to maintain an active practice, representing clients in matters across the District of Columbia and Maryland.
