Lawrence holds a special place in American history as the first planned industrial city. Founded in the 1840s on the Merrimack River, the city was built to serve the textile mills and flourished as a world leader in producing textiles. The city was a gateway city where foreign-born residents came to work in the mills. In the early years, immigrants came from Ireland, French Canada, England, Germany, Poland, Italy, Lithuania and Syria. The city is still known as the “Immigrant City.” In the 1980s and 1990s, large numbers of Hispanic immigrants from Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic arrived, drawn by inexpensive housing and an atmosphere of tolerance for immigrants. More recently, Vietnamese and Cambodians arrived, seeking a safe place to raise families.

Today, more than 70,000 people live and work in Lawrence. The city continues as a manufacturing hub, and textile, apparel and shoes are still produced here. New Balance and Cardinal Shoes are among the better known brands still proudly made in the USA. Several large corporations chose Lawrence for its proximity to Boston, 25 miles to the South, and to several major interstate highways (Route 93 and 495).

However, there are significant crime problems facing the community and its residents because of ongoing economic challenges. A Lawrence criminal defense lawyer is the best attorney to retain to navigate the criminal defense system. Lawrence is a city facing complex and difficult challenges, and residents need proper representation.  Call Attorney Kristen F. Bonavita for immediate assistance at 978-376-6746
