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

What a man, what a man, what a man , What a mighty good man ! Lyrics by Salt-N-Pepa

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 Ru...ssell 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!

HIRE RUSSELL LORFING IF YOU NEED THE BEST TRIAL LAWYER!!

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 Count...y 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

BEST DEFENSE ATTORNEY

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 al...ong. 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!!

One of the best!!

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 goo...d criminal defense attorney, I highly recommend Mr. Lorfing and his team.
