Lorenz & Lorenz: The Husband-and-Wife Firm With Over 1,400 Client Reviews

Ted and Lesley Lorenz started their firm together in 2001, back when a young lawyer’s biggest bet was on himself. Twenty-five years later, this Austin personal injury attorney firm has accumulated more than 1,400 reviews across a single review platform alone — a review volume that puts it among the more heavily reviewed personal injury practices in this directory’s Austin coverage.

At a Glance: Austin Personal Injury Attorney Firm Overview

Origin & Background

Ted Lorenz became licensed to practice law in 2000 and, together with his wife Lesley, founded Lorenz & Lorenz in Austin in 2001. Ted has said he knew he wanted to practice personal injury law even before starting law school, drawn to an area of practice where he could help individuals stand up against larger, better-resourced corporate and insurance opponents. The firm has since expanded beyond its original Austin base to serve Waco and San Antonio as well.

Practice Concentration

The firm handles a broad range of accident and injury matters for Central Texas clients, with a particular focus on auto accident representation. The firm markets a “family” approach to client relationships and emphasizes 24/7 availability and home or hospital visits for clients unable to travel to an office.

Notable Work

The firm does not publish a structured, itemized case-results table on its site. Past results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any future case, and this gap in published results is disclosed directly rather than papered over.

Client Voice

Lorenz & Lorenz holds a 4.6-star rating across 1,408 Birdeye reviews — one of the largest review samples of any firm in this directory’s Austin personal injury coverage — alongside an additional 82 reviews on Yelp. Reviewers consistently credit named staff members for responsiveness: one client wrote that attorney Johnny Martinez “answered all my questions and assured me that everything would be taken care of,” while another described the team as “kind and understanding” during a stressful period following an accident. Set against that volume of positive reviews, the Better Business Bureau lists one unresolved complaint against the firm — a genuine, disclosable gap worth noting given the firm’s overall review volume, and one prospective clients should feel free to ask about directly.

Beyond the Courtroom

The firm has been recognized by USAttorneys.com as one of its “Top 5 Law Firms in Austin” for clients navigating mounting medical bills and lost income after an accident, a third-party editorial recognition distinct from paid advertising placement.

Recognition

No Texas Board of Legal Specialization certification for either Lorenz was confirmed in available public materials, and this profile does not use “specialist” language as a result. Ted Lorenz was named a Texas Super Lawyers Rising Star from 2006 through 2010 and is a member of the National Trial Lawyers Association, the Capital Area Trial Lawyers Association, and the American Association for Justice. These are peer-review and membership-based recognitions rather than state board certification.

Texas Legal Backdrop

Texas personal injury claims are generally subject to a two-year statute of limitations under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003, running from the date of injury. Texas follows a modified comparative-fault “51% bar” rule under Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 33 — a fact the firm’s own site accurately summarizes for prospective clients: a claimant found more than 50% responsible for their own injury recovers nothing, while a claimant at 50% or below has recovery reduced by their share of fault. This is general background information, not legal advice, and does not account for the specific facts of any case.

Awesome Attorneys Assessment

A review sample in the thousands, sustained across a 25-year run under the same husband-and-wife leadership, is a genuinely substantial base of independent client feedback — far larger than most boutiques in this directory can claim, and difficult to manufacture or game at that scale. The firm’s expansion from a single Austin office into Waco and San Antonio also suggests a sustainable operating model over two decades.

The honest gap: neither founder holds Texas Board of Legal Specialization certification, a credential several other firms in this directory’s Austin PI coverage carry, and the BBB’s single unresolved complaint — while modest relative to over 1,400 positive reviews elsewhere — is worth asking about directly rather than assuming it away. A firm operating across three Texas cities also means a prospective client should confirm which specific attorney will be handling their case, since a multi-office practice doesn’t guarantee the same senior-attorney involvement a single-office boutique might offer.
