This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Best criminal defense lawyer, worth every penny, best person to have in your side hands down & very well connected.

Ken really went above and beyond for my felony case. I had 2 class 4 possession charges and if it wasn’t for him I would’ve definitely served jail time. He made the whole process as stress free as possible and due to his work history, he’s well connected to the people working in your favor and not in... your favor so it’s really comforting walking into the court room with him and everyone knowing what a stand up lawyer/college he is and it really makes you know you made the right choice when you see everyone saying hi and dying to talk to him while you walk through the courthouse.. felt like he was a local celebrity Haha!! The one and only courtroom killer Ken. He’s truly become more family to me than my own blood and was there for me in times that my personal life could’ve led me into messing with our legal battle for my freedom. I really mean it when I say he’s worth every penny of what his fee is, honestly he should charge more in my opinion and that’s coming from a girl that was homeless during this time and luckily had family help me pay. His background(so intriguing & interesting btw), knowledge, connections, wisdom, everything Ken has and does is mind blowing and he’s almost like a life coach/law professor/best friend/teacher/mentor/advocate/therapist while being your lawyer haha. If you have a criminal case, I swear no matter if it’s a class 1 felony Ken can figure out how to get it thrown out. He’s like a magician with how he does things and just trust his process and listen to what he tells you to do!!!! I acted like a little brat sometimes ha. Ken, you mean more to me than my own family and have been there for me thru the hardest times in my life so far. You’ve cared more about my wellbeing than my own family and taken time out of your day that you could’ve been making thousands just to make sure I was ok once we got off the phone. I got charged in August and by April we were done. You made this as easy as it gets I can’t imagine if I didn’t have you on my side. Best soul I’ve ever crossed paths with and I hope this review gets a bunch of amazing new clients cause they’ll be just as lucky as you are to have them to represent. Blessed to know you and have you as my lawyer FOR LIFE!! Thank you thank you thank you!! HIRE HIM FOR ANY CRIMINAL CASES. ps. He’s 1 of 2 of the only lawyers that does forfeiture and seizure cases in lake county. Highly skilled man right here! :)

Pleased with the Service

We had consulted with another lawyer. We were made to feel less than worthy of their time. I suppose this was due to the sensitive nature of the case. We were very pleased to come across the professionalism of Kenneth . He spoke with understanding and with an unbiased attitude. He took the time to... research into the matter . His tone of voice was greatly appreciated . His patience and the willingness to review the case was what we needed to understand the law. Even though the news was not in our favor he was genuinely empathetic with his delivery. We feel like we have an attorney that we will call for any future law needs. Thank you.

Great attorney

Ken was communicative, consistent, punctual and sincerely helpful. His professional assistance made a stressful situation as smooth as it could’ve been. I didn’t have to worry and I didn’t feel alone. Plus, his services are affordable!

He truly goes above and beyond

I almost never write reviews, but I had to for Kenneth. He’s been an absolute blessing during one of the hardest times in my life. He truly goes above and beyond—not just as an attorney, but as a person who genuinely cares. He listened, explained everything clearly, and made me feel supported every s...tep of the way. I can’t thank him enough for his help and dedication. Kenneth is the kind of attorney you hope to find but rarely do. I’m beyond grateful for everything he’s done.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

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%.
