About Lawrence Scott
Lawrence Scott Forsley has spent more than three decades in and around the practice of law. He earned his Juris Doctor from Suffolk University Law School in 1988 after completing a bachelor’s degree in economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 1986. Those years framed his entry into the legal profession and a steady career in New England.
After law school, Forsley built a private practice that crossed state lines. He is admitted to practice in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire. In 1995 he became the managing lawyer of Forsley Law Office, P.A., a role in which he has overseen the office’s operations and client service. That appointment came after several years of practicing law following his graduation.
His work over the years has been shaped by the practical demands of running a small firm and by the needs of clients in two state systems. He has handled a mix of matters that reflect the day-to-day legal needs of individuals and businesses in the region. Colleagues describe him as steady in the office and deliberate when dealing with legal problems, preferring clear counsel over flashy rhetoric.
Forsley’s background in economics informs how he approaches certain client issues. He brings that analytical perspective to case assessment and to advising clients on cost and risk. He has kept his practice centered in the New England area, maintaining licensure and handling matters under the rules of both Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
Today he leads Forsley Law Office, P.A., operating from that firm to serve clients across state lines. He remains involved in both the management of the office and the direct representation of clients. His current practice focuses on serving clients in Massachusetts and New Hampshire through Forsley Law Office, P.A.
