About Lawrence W.
Lawrence W. Point entered the legal profession after earning a Bachelor of Arts from Dickinson College and a J.D. from Rutgers School of Law–Newark in 1968. He has practiced in New Jersey for decades and built a career that blends private practice with service to the bench and bar. His educational background set a steady foundation for a long tenure in regional legal circles.
Point spent a significant portion of his career in firm practice. He was a partner at Acton & Point, where he handled a range of matters typical of a general practice firm. Later he took the role of Of Counsel at Helmer, Conley & Kasselman, PA. Those positions kept him active in courtroom work and client counseling while allowing him to take on advisory responsibilities that drew on his experience.
Alongside private practice, Point has served on several committees tied to the New Jersey Supreme Court and the bar. He served on the Court’s District Ethics Committee and on its Unauthorized Practice of Law Committee. He also participated on the New Jersey State Bar Association’s Judicial Appointments Committee. Those roles placed him in the midst of conversations about professional standards, court procedure, and the oversight of lawyer conduct in the state.
His involvement extends to local and national professional groups. He is a member of the Salem County Bar Association and has held its presidency. He also belongs to the American Bar Association. Outside the legal world he is active in his faith community, serving as an elder at the Pitman Road Church of Christ. Colleagues describe him as steady and pragmatic. Clients have sought him for sensible advice rather than headlines.
Point’s career includes courtroom work, advisory matters, and committee service that touches on ethics and the boundaries of legal practice. He has balanced casework with institutional responsibilities, often acting as a bridge between community lawyers and the state’s regulatory bodies. Over time he moved from partnership responsibilities to a role that allowed him to mentor younger lawyers while remaining available for complex matters.
He continues to practice law in New Jersey as Of Counsel at Helmer, Conley & Kasselman, PA. His current practice includes professional responsibility and ethics matters as well as general civil practice in state courts.
