A Better future!

My Husband was in some trouble, I mean looking at 15 years trouble. since day one Russel was amazing, yes! I said amazing. Let me break that down because the situation that my husband was looking at was not good. Like I said he was looking at 15 years. Since day one Russel kept me and my husband in ...the loop. He fought hard for my husband, not only for my husband but for me and my kids wouldn't be away from him for such a long time. Russell has never rushed me off the phone and yes I always have a million questions because this is all new to me . Every phone call, every text he answered in the same day pretty much the same hour . With all the hard work and wanting to make a difference in my husbands life he made a 15 year sentence to a 5 year sentence. All because he wants what's best for his client's. We are blessed that Russell Lorfing is the one defending my husband. He has been Amazing for us, I know he would be just as amazing and caring for you as well. if your in trouble or know anyone in trouble don't go look for anyone else you honestly need to hire Russell Lorfing you will not regret it. If you want the best of the best on your side Russell is the lawyer for you.

Kristin, Thank you for wonderful review and the kind words. Anthony has been one of my favorite clients and I am so grateful I was able to negotiate a deal that gets him back to his family ten years earlier than the government wanted. You have a beautiful family and I can't wait to hear how your family thrives once Anthony is back home where he belongs.

Russell's experience, skill, and compassion are unmatched

As a fellow attorney, it is all too common that I run into colleagues who are competent, but not exemplary; they do just what needs to be done, but nothing more, and then they move onto the next case. Russell is the exemplary exception. With over a decade of prosecutorial experience, Russel...l has successfully litigated a countless number of cases, and it would be easy for him to rest on past laurels. But instead, he treats each case as if it is his only case. He takes the time to explain the entire process to his clients, answering every question, and exploring every option to obtain the best possible results. His compassion is matched only by his aggressive defense. Lest you might think that I am just writing a review to do a friend a favor, I assure you that I am not. I personally worked with Russell when he contacted me about his client who had just pled guilty to a charge in federal district court (which, by the way, was an incredible deal for his client), and he asked to handle an administrative action for the same client. By the time the client's administrative matter came to fruition, Russell's matter with him was completed. However, he continued to provide his assistance, and aided us in the administrative matter by providing us with valuable expert testimony. I am not exaggerating when I say that I'm not aware of many attorneys who would do this. I'm proud to call Russell my friend and my truly esteemed colleague. If you don't hire Russell, I think you are making a huge mistake.

Thank you so very much Catherine for the kind words. It's humbling to receive praise from an attorney of your caliber. I certainly hope we get to team up again and fight to defend the rights of other clients!

Honest, Professional, and Transparent

My family has been ranching in the Trans-Pecos region of Texas since the 1880’s. Our current ranch has been in the family for four generations. Attorney Russell Lorfing provided us with valuable assistance during a troubling challenge involving an unscrupulous family member and a wealthy land specula...tor from Dallas. Much like the television show, “Yellowstone,” powerful outside forces were bound and determined to be our new business partners whether we liked it or not. Unlike the characters in “Yellowstone,” we are not a wealthy family with political connections and unlimited resources. It is not an exaggeration to say that our family’s ranch was under attack and in danger of being divided into separate sections with multiple new owners. We thought all hope was lost until Mr. Lorfing proposed an option no one had previously considered. Russell was an excellent communicator who proved to be detail-oriented, forthright, and exceptionally transparent. He never gave us false hope and he didn’t make promises he couldn’t keep. He was honest about the odds of the suggested solution working out in our favor, provided us with as much information as possible, and then left the final decision with us. After careful consideration, we chose to exercise the option proposed by Mr. Lorfing. As a result, our family’s ranch was saved and is now forever secured against further attempts to divide it. We are deeply grateful for Russell’s assistance during one of the most difficult chapters of our family’s history.
