He’s a phenomenal lawyer. He’s the best at what he does.

After reading several amazing reviews, I took my chances and hired Ken as my criminal defense. I was arrested on a criminal charge for transporting marijuana illegally. After hiring him while he was fighting that case I caught another case for the same thing just a smaller amount. Attorney Lorenz w...as able to help me keep my license through all the proceedings and got both cases dismissed. The first case took a while to get dismissed but at the end of the day he handled his business. He’s kind and humble, but a beast in the courtroom . I recommend Ken to any and everyone that asked me if I could recommend a criminal defense, attorney. He’s experienced and it shows. I stand behind his work 100%.

OP

I am extremely satisfied with the legal services provided by Kenneth Lorenz. He successfully helped me vacate an unjust order of protection that was falsely placed against me. His expertise and dedication were evident throughout the entire process. He did an outstanding job representing me, and I cou...ldn't be more grateful. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of professional and effective legal assistance. Thank you, Mr. Lorenz, for your exceptional support!

Above and Beyond!

He had been my attorney from a simple case to more complex. He really puts everything he has into providing the best outcome possible. His dedication to his clients is truly unmatched, always going above and beyond to ensure their needs are met. I have full confidence in his abilities and trust him c...ompletely to handle any legal matter with skill and professionalism. Working with him has been a true privilege, and I am grateful for his unwavering support.

Went above & beyond, wouldn’t have my car without him. Cares more about his clients than the money! Go to for forfeiture!

My car was stolen, seized from me, let out the same night. A month later, the same crooked detective seized my vehicle for the same crime of fleeing and aluding. I was going to have to go through hoops for my 10k civic. Ken filed a motion for a buy back and saved my car, my sanity, and months of stre...ss. He dealt with me during a very high stress time in my life and made sure to reassure me that my feelings were valid, alllwed me to ramble on with questions from being scared and confused, and listened to me when no one else did. It’s hard finding lawyers that deal with forfeiture in lake county. He was there for me more than my own family was and I had no one to really talk to or turn to during this time. The flat fee he charged me, for all the work he did, phone calls, and paperwork he had to file was shockingly low. Easy payment options too with zelle. Honestly, if I never got in touch with Ken during that time, dealing with crooked police I was dealing with, with everything going on in my personal life, I don’t know if I would’ve made it through all that to be writing this today. You’re the best, Ken! Thankful is an understatement. Wish you the best and many more wins!
