Board-Certified Austin Injury Practice Sustained by Husband-and-Wife Team Since 1997
Austin, United States - April 24, 2026 / The Sharp Firm /
The Sharp Firm, an Austin personal injury attorney practice co-founded by attorneys Lance and Laura Sharp, has completed 27 years of continuous operation, representing a notable milestone in Texas personal injury law. Established in 1997, the firm has advocated for injury victims across Austin and the wider Texas region for close to three decades, building a record rooted in board-certified legal practice and peer-recognized professional standing.
27 Years of Board-Certified Personal Injury Representation
Since its founding in 1997, The Sharp Firm has maintained a focused personal injury practice, handling cases that include car accidents, truck accidents, dental malpractice, and insurance disputes. The firm holds board certification, a distinction earned through demonstrated competency, peer evaluation, and an ongoing commitment to continuing legal education within the specialty.
Lance and Laura Sharp collectively bring over 30 years of combined appellate and litigation experience to each case they handle. That depth of legal background spans trial courts through appellate proceedings, giving the firm the ability to pursue cases at multiple levels of the legal system when the situation calls for it.
Both attorneys carry AV ratings from Martindale-Hubbell, the highest recognition the rating service confers for ethical standards and professional ability. AV status is based on peer review assessments conducted by fellow attorneys and judges, identifying lawyers who have demonstrated a high level of professional achievement. Sustaining that recognition across 27 years reflects the consistency the firm has maintained throughout its history.
Leadership Beyond the Courtroom
Laura Sharp's professional contributions reach well beyond her work in litigation. She has served as President of the Austin Bar Association and as a Director of the State Bar of Texas Board of Directors, positions that reflect the legal community's confidence in her judgment and professional standing. Her involvement at both the local and state bar levels has established her as a recognized figure within the Texas legal profession.
"Reaching 27 years in practice is a reflection of the clients who trusted us with some of the most difficult moments of their lives," said Laura Sharp, Attorney and Co-Founder of The Sharp Firm. "Since 1997, we have handled thousands of cases ranging from car accidents to complex insurance disputes, and we have done it as a two-attorney team that is personally involved from the first consultation through resolution."
A Husband-and-Wife Team with a Hands-On Approach
A defining characteristic of The Sharp Firm is the direct involvement of both Lance and Laura Sharp in client representation. Unlike larger practices where matters are routinely assigned to associate attorneys or paralegals, the Sharps maintain a model in which clients work directly with the attorneys who hold the AV ratings and board certifications.
This structure carries particular relevance for clients dealing with the aftermath of serious accidents or medical errors, where the quality of legal counsel can have lasting financial and personal consequences. The firm's practice areas - car accidents, truck accidents, dental malpractice, and insurance disputes - reflect circumstances in which individuals often face well-resourced opposing parties, including insurance carriers and corporate defendants.
The firm offers free initial consultations, giving prospective clients the opportunity to speak directly with a board-certified attorney before making any commitment. The Sharp Firm operates out of Austin, Texas, serving clients throughout the region.
Three Decades of Appellate and Litigation Experience
Lance Sharp's background in appellate work complements the firm's trial capabilities. The ability to carry cases through the appellate process is a practical asset in matters where trial outcomes are challenged or where legal questions require review by higher courts. Combined with Laura Sharp's litigation experience and bar leadership, the firm brings a layered skill set that shapes how cases are assessed and handled from the beginning.
As an Austin car accident lawyer practice with a documented 27-year history, The Sharp Firm continues to accept new clients in personal injury matters across Austin and Texas, applying the same direct, attorney-led approach that has characterized its practice since 1997.
