History
LL began following the death of Jennifer Lenze's former partner, J. Paul Sizemore (1970-2014), a recognized trial lawyer who provided exceptional representation on behalf of injured clients. Paul instilled in her the core values of civility in advocacy, tireless commitment, and compassion for those who have been wronged. These principles have inspired the vision for LL.
