About Lawrence
Lawrence Berliner earned his J.D. from Quinnipiac University School of Law in 1981 and has built a long legal career in Connecticut. His educational background set the stage for practice in the state where he has been active in bar and community organizations for decades. Colleagues and peers have encountered him at Connecticut Bar Association events since the early 1980s.
Shortly after law school, Berliner began practicing law in Connecticut. He joined the Connecticut Bar Association in 1983 and has maintained that membership ever since. Over the years he also became involved with the Connecticut Bar Foundation, joining the James W. Cooper Fellows in 2008. Those affiliations reflect sustained participation in the state’s legal community and an interest in the institutions that support legal education and access to justice.
In 2011 he added membership in COPAA, the Council of Parents, Lawyers and Advocates. COPAA mixes lawyers, parents and advocates around education and disability issues. Berliner’s long-term involvement there signals an engagement with the legal issues parents and schools face, particularly those that arise in educational settings.
Berliner’s day-to-day work is grounded in Connecticut practice. He has navigated the routines and the complexities that come with practicing law at the state level. He appears regularly in professional forums, and his memberships in several state organizations keep him connected to developments in Connecticut jurisprudence and policy.
People who have worked with him describe a lawyer who values practical problem solving. He uses clear explanations to help clients understand options and trade-offs. He also participates in continuing legal education programs and professional gatherings, staying current on rules and practice changes that affect clients in the state.
Outside of bar activities and COPAA, Berliner’s career reflects steady involvement rather than headline-making litigation or public office. He has maintained an active presence in the Connecticut legal community for decades, moving between casework and professional service as situations require. He maintains a Connecticut practice, centering on legal issues affecting families and parents.
