Ted has always had a passion for helping people. Even before Ted started law school, when he was a student at the University of Texas, he knew he wanted to practice personal injury law. In personal injury law, Ted recognized an area where he could help people stand up for their rights against powerful corporations. Whether someone was hurt in a car accident, truck accident or by a defective product, Ted has dedicated his career to helping his clients recover all the money possible for their injuries. Since graduating from law school in 2000, Ted has never practiced any other type of law and has only represented people on a contingency basis. This means that we only get paid if we do our job and get you money for your injuries. Unlike most lawyers and law firms who dabble in a variety of areas of law and accept many different kinds of cases, when you hire Ted you know you are hiring a personal injury expert! Ted met his future wife, Lesley, in law school at the University of Houston and was married shortly after. Since 2001, they have worked together with one goal and one mission in mind. Fighting for people who have been hurt by no fault of their own and doing the best job possible on their behalf! Since founding Lorenz & Lorenz Accident & Injury Lawyers PLLC, we have grown from a two-person office to representing several thousand people each year!
