About William A. Lorenz
William A. Lorenz Jr. entered law school after completing an undergraduate degree at Canisius College. He earned his J.D. from the State University of New York at Buffalo School of Law in 2012. The legal training he received there set the stage for a steady early career in Western New York.
He joined HoganWillig, PLLC in 2013. That move put him in a regional firm with multiple offices across the area. Over the years he has built on courtroom qualifications that include admission to practice in New York and before the U.S. Supreme Court. Those credentials mark the formal scope of where he can appear on behalf of clients.
In 2016 he returned briefly to the classroom as an adjunct professor at Canisius College. Students saw him translate practice into pedagogy. Teaching also gave him a chance to reflect on how legal doctrine functions in everyday disputes and to distill complex rules into clear lessons.
His professional reputation is reflected in public review platforms as well. An 8.9 Lawyer Review from AVVO appears on his record. He also maintains current membership in at least one professional association. Details of his bar number and specific bar-admission year are not listed here.
At HoganWillig he has worked from a number of the firm’s locations. The firm’s offices in Buffalo, Lancaster, Ellicottville and Lockport have all been bases from which he has served clients. That regional footprint has shaped the kinds of matters he handles and the community connections he maintains.
Colleagues describe him as a lawyer who balances courtroom readiness with attention to procedural detail. His career path — law school at SUNY Buffalo, an early hire at HoganWillig, a stint teaching at Canisius — suggests steady professional development and a preference for practice within his home region.
He continues to practice at HoganWillig, PLLC, working across the firm’s Buffalo, Lancaster, Ellicottville and Lockport offices and representing clients in matters within the jurisdictions where he is admitted to practice.
