Arielle Allen works as a trial lawyer at Lorenz & Lorenz. She has spent over a decade advocating for underserved groups and attended law school after recognizing the large gap in legal services for those very groups. As a college student at the University of Maryland, Arielle volunteered in AmeriCorps and the Wiesbaden-American Red Cross. She would ultimately earn her degree in psychology and go on to practice as a behavior therapist with children with developmental delays in pediatric clinics.
After witnessing the challenges parents of children with disabilities faced, Arielle saw how systemic barriers prevent vulnerable individuals—whether due to disability or life-altering injuries—from accessing the support they need. She realized that, much like developmental disabilities, serious injuries can leave families struggling to navigate complex systems without adequate resources or advocacy. Determined to bridge this gap, she pursued law school at the University of Texas School of Law, where she graduated with pro bono honors.
During her first year, she volunteered with local foster families through Austin Angels. She later worked in the Texas Law Disability Rights and Actual Innocence clinics, as well as advocating for children in foster care as an attorney ad litem in Travis County in the Children’s Rights Clinic. Before joining Lorenz & Lorenz, Arielle worked for the Office of the Attorney General, a large Texas-based catastrophic injury firm, and a boutique trial firm in Austin.
Arielle's written work has been published in the American Bankruptcy Institute Journal, Austin Lawyer, and Freethought Today.
