Russell Henry Thomas Lorfing

I can’t adequately put into words how thankful we are to have met Russell Lorfing. He is not only a brilliant and experienced federal attorney, but is a man of good character. One who whole-heartedly went above and beyond to defend my husband, all the while treating us like family. Russell and his team greatly helped restore my husband and I’s faith that there truly are some great attorneys out there that really care about justice. My husband was falsely accused of a federal crime many years back, and sadly, at that time, we did not know who to turn to. Unfortunately we hired an ineffective attorney, to put it politely. He only worked hard at trying to get my husband to plead guilty. He took our money, but didn’t communicate at all what he was doing or help prepare us. My husband was rushed through trial with no defense, and heartbreakingly spent over a decade in prison for something he didn’t do. Believe me, I’ve seen the spectrum of the worst to the best of lawyers. So after my husband was finally home, he started going to his mandatory classes. He was being honest about his situation and doing everything in his power to comply on all the work required. After going to every class and explaining what he had been through, he was eventually kicked out due to not admitting guilt. Instead of helping him find a counselor that would work with him in his situation, like he asked for many times, he was arrested for not being in compliance. A good friend of ours had heard of the exceptional reputation of Russell Lorfing and recommended him to me. The anguish and fear we were going through once again was unbearable. After talking to Russell and telling him my husbands story, he decided to take our case, but let us know it would be a tough fight. Russell went to work immediately, and I mean that day. He went to stand with my husband at a hearing we had just found out about as we were speaking on the phone. That meant the world to my husband and our kids and I. I soon found out what a true attorney is like. Especially one who has a passionate heart to help people. He communicated clearly, and answered our questions about everything that he and his team were working on along the way. They always wanted to know our thoughts. In the next hearing, Russell and Chris Solis fought hard for us. They were successful at having my husband released to come home as we prepared for the next big hearing. After that, again, Russell worked tirelessly preparing for the next fight. He stayed in touch with us throughout each step and made us feel like we were his only client. As the date of the hearing approached, we were unbelievably thankful to hear that, through all of the strategies and communication that Russell and his team had done, the charges had been dropped. Many in our community have prayerfully supported our family over the years and this meant the world to all of us. Each win that Russell was able to work for us was nearly unheard of, but he precisely prepared for each step, knew how to artfully communicate, and was persistent. All the while they were hospitable. Wendi in the office made sure Russell received my communication and documents and made us feel comfortable when we visited. I wholeheartedly recommend Russell Lorfing if you need an attorney. He is a real advocate. He completely knows his way around the courtroom and will fight smart and hard for you. He truly is worth every single penny and more. If you are in need of an attorney, look no further than Russell Lorfing. You will not be disappointed.

Mr. Lorfing went above and beyond what I ever expected. He was very open and helpful about my son's case. I would gladly recommend him to anyone.

My husband was falsely accused and charged and we needed an experienced federal criminal defense lawyer to help us out. We initially went with another local attorney who was more affordable but we quickly learned that was a huge mistake. Federal courts are much different that state courts and it was clear our first attorney didn’t specialize in federal law. No one gave us a chance and honestly things were not looking good but thank God we met Russell Lorfing, Before taking the case, we spoke over the phone, he agreed to take our case – but not before asking us a thousand questions to make sure we were a good fit. He demonstrated a high level of understanding of the facts and the case, he gave us confidence by showing he believed in my husbands innocence, he wanted to meet with us to make sure he could help. He took time off his busy schedule and flew to meet us in Houston. After seeing how Russell committed an entire day to go over the case, it was clear that he was the guy to hire. He was very professional and composed. Over the next few months, Russell was an incredible advocate for my husband and gave us hope when there was none. He regularly communicated with us and made us feel like my husband was his only client. Before we meet Russell, every attorney told us that it was a lost cause – that when the feds charge you, you’re screwed. But Russell fought for us. My husband was looking at a mandatory minimum four to six years in state prison. He ended up proving my husband's innocence and getting the case dissmised. We cannot thank him enough. He was pricy but worth every digit on the amount, I would have paid ten times that amount to have my husband’s life back. If you’ve been charged with a federal crime in West Texas, Russell Lorfing is THE ATTORNEY you hire. No one else in the area even comes close to his level of experience in federal law. Thank you for fighting so hard for my family. We cannot thank you enough for all your hard work.

The team at Keith & Lorfing are amazing and will help you come out on top of any case with experience and professionalism. They are pro-active and handle everything fast, so all the hard work and battles of the case will be done without you knowing. Which was great for me, I didn't stress about my case because it was taken off my mind once in the hands of this great team. I didn't have the best life situation but Russell worked with me and invited me into the family to ultimately help me out during a time of need. Thanks Keith & Lorfing for all the help and service you provide!

The way Mr. Lorfing helped me with my husbands Jesse case went above and beyond. He was there to walk me thru the entire process, and any concern I had he always explained it very well to me. Of course there is only so much that a lawyer can do when things aren't t always the way the are suppose to be but, the results we got were tremendously great considering what could have been. So if you need a lawyer that is not only going to take your side but also go the extra mile, he is it! Thanks again Mr. Lorfing!

Our personal experience could not have been better. These attorneys worked diligently and stayed in constant contact with us regarding the developments in our case. We always had the final say in any offers made by the prosecution. If I could only say one thing about them it would be “they listen” I always felt that my opinion was heard and consider. We discussed everything good and bad. When a decision was finally agreed on we felt it was the very best and truthfully an almost unbelievable outcome. I never want to find my family in the midst or subject of a criminal case ever again but if it happens my first and only call will be to this law firm. Big thanks to Russel and Chris on a job well done. And the office staff are simply amazing!!!! Always polite, knowledgeable, and professional. Thank you all for treating us as family and working so hard to bring this case to a great conclusion. Gary and Kathy Lindley

I really can’t put into words how great this law firm is and what they did for our family!!!! From day 1 when I called there office and needed advice really quickly, like that day within 3 hours, they didn’t just say let me take a message and call you back, she called Russell when he wasn’t even in the office he was actually at the airport about to board a plan. She told him what was going on and he took the time to call us and speak with us about what was going on and told us what to do for that day and he would call us later since he had to get on his flight. This was a Friday, he called us on Saturday to discuss what was going on in more detail and he was so nice and understanding. It felt great that he made us feel important to call us on a Saturday and really wanted to help. So we set up a day for us to go meet him in person and speak about everything again and it was nice that he didn’t hold back, he told us that things will get worse before it gets better. Let me tell you it definitely got worse before it got better but he was there for every bit of it!! Then we got to meet Chris Solis and he was helping break down everything to get ready for us to go to trial and he put everything into it . Now when it came to trail these two guys were amazing, they are worth more than we paid them. Seeing them in action was crazy to watch, they treated us like family and it showed in court that they were fighting for there family. They put 210% into what they do and I would recommend them over and over. I just wish I can say more but like I said words don’t do these guys justice. Thank you Russell Lorfing and Chris Solis for everything you both did for our family!!!

Russell Lorfing is the man for the job!! I can’t thank you enough. I had never been in such serious trouble before until recently. I lost all faith in the justice system due to my family being friends with law enforcement and having it out for me. I was scared and felt completely alone until I met Russell Lorfing. He took me under his wing. While waiting outside the courtroom my to involved mother kept going on and on and Russell respectfully stood up for me to her. It was so nice to have someone for me and not against me. If your looking for a caring and honorable person to represent you then Russell is your guy! He never judged me and never gave up hope. He will get the job done. Thank you Russell again , because of you I do have faith that their are good attorneys out there who care!

Russell Lorfing, Treated me like Family and walked me through a very difficult time in my life. A great council to have and I feel very blessed to have him . Highly recommend.

I wanted to take a moment to share my experience with Russell Lorfing as my lawyer. Without a doubt, hiring him was the smartest decision I've ever made. Words cannot express how grateful I am to have him on my side, fighting for my rights. If you find yourself in need of legal representation, I wholeheartedly recommend Russell. He exceeded all my expectations, and I can honestly say he was worth every penny and then some. He is a top-notch lawyer who goes above and beyond for his clients. If you want someone who will fight for you and deliver exceptional results, look no further than Russell Lorfing.

Very welcoming and helpful. Did a outstanding job and went out of there way to help in any way. The case was settled and I was given a better deal than I ever expected. 5 stars all day

Russell Lorfing and his team of attorneys are the best in West Texas!! My name is Preston Martin and I am an elected County Commissioner in Fisher County, Texas. My family has been in West Texas for over 100 years. Nearly sixteen years ago, I decided to give back to my community so I ran for County Commissioner. Since I’ve been in office I’ve done my best to make Fisher County a safe and desirable place to live. As a public servant, I have spoken out against cronyism, corruption, and taken principled stands when my conscious lead me to do so. I know politics can get dirty but never in a million years did I think my service would lead to false allegations of political corruption. My political opponents somehow managed to get the State to indict me on bogus charges. They were threatening me with 20 years in prison for something I didn't do. The only thing I was guilty of was standing up for the citizens of Fisher County. During those first few days after being indicted, I didn't know what to do. The only thing I was certain of was that I was going to fight back. When your reputation and your freedom is on the line, you want the best of the best. My wife and I considered hiring a defense firm out of Dallas or Austin but after an exhaustive search, we ultimately chose the Keith & Lorfing law firm based on our research. I can say from personal experience that they are hands down the best trial lawyers in West Texas. From Abilene, to Midland, to Lubbock, to San Angelo, and everywhere in between, you will not find better trial lawyers than these guys. Russell Lorfing is AS ADVERTISED. He is as good as they come. When we first met, I just had a good feeling about him and his team. He carefully reviewed all the evidence and came back and said he would only represent me if I was all in. I asked what he meant and he said, "Commissioner Martin, I don't plead innocent people. Either the government dismisses the charges or we go to trial - we will not accept any plea deal because I believe you are actually innocent." That was music to my ears. And he meant it. My case was very complex and his team did their due diligence in reviewing the facts in my case. They actually had a “war room” with all my files and documents in it. They always took their time to listen to my concerns. They treated me and my family as family. Russell’s words of encouragement and positivity helped me keep my faith in God, country, and our legal system. It took nearly six months but at the end, Russell and his team were able to get all my criminal charges dismissed. They honestly restored my faith in the system. I owe my freedom to this team of lawyers. My family and I will be forever grateful for their expertise. Hats off to him and his excellent team of lawyers, including Christopher Solis, Trey Keith, Jack Hurd, and Lawrence Morales. I've worked with many lawyers in my life and Russell and Chris are as honest as they come. They are well connected and know everyone. I forgot to mention that both Russell and Chris are former Assistant United States Attorneys at U.S. Department of Justice, they are both former federal prosecutors, and Russell is a Fifth generation Texan. So if your out looking for a lawyer call Russell first - he won’t lie to you or rob you. He is always 100% honest. What a blessing this lawyer is to so many as well as me and my family. Please call him first and don’t waste your time in the minor leagues. You get real Texas values from a family man that I now call a friend. -Preston Martin Fisher County Commissioner

Omg Russell lorfing is the absolute best lawyer ever I recommend anyone to come here if in need. He helped me out so much the other staff are just so friendly it’s like a family here. Thank you so much Russell you’re the bomb.com seriously!

I still can't believe what this law firm has done for me. I hired Russell Lorfing to represent me on a very old legal matter. He jumped on the case immediately. Called me the next day with updates, and stayed in touch throughout. AND just after a few weeks, he had everything sorted out and moving along. Got me a PR bond, which I then turned myself into the county jail and was released within hours. Not only did he get me time served for a 12 yr old, warrant/VOP and class B misdemeanor, he was able to have the whole case dismissed. NEVER did I expect this out come. And this fast. I have never had an attorney that actually cared and fought on my behalf. I can not thank Russell Lorfing enough. If you want the best possible outcome. Someone that will fight for you and not leave you wondering what is going on. You need to call Russell Lorfing. You won't regret it!!

Mr. Lorfing is the man!! When I was down bad because no other attorneys would return my call Mr. Lorfing took the time out of his day and reached out to me personally. The second I retained him he got to business immediately. I’m so grateful for everything he’s done for me. If you’re in need of a good criminal defense attorney, I highly recommend Mr. Lorfing and his team.
