Wow, Amazing

y’all I can’t believe this man. Russell Lorfing is a godsend. i’ve met a lot of lawyers in my life, but he is the best of the best. I mean it y’all. I’m gonna tell you like this. I was on probation in Stephens County for a felony drug case. I had some health issues so I fell behind on my payment...s. Missed a bunch of my probation meetings, and then was late to court one day. When the judge issued a warrant, I went on the run. I just got scared. Several months later I picked up a new charge for burglary in shackelford county which was bogus, but whatever. The point is I had lost hope. I prepared myself for a lengthy prison sentence. I mean, how would I ever be able to beat this new charge and then convince a prosecutor not to revoke my probation after I went on the run? Russell Lorfing, that’s how. this man somehow convinced the prosecutor in Stephens County to reinstate me on probation and even convinced the judge to withdraw the warrant that was out for my arrest. And that’s not all. He then convinced the prosecutors in Shackleford County to DISMISS all charges against me. Thanks to Russell Lorfing, I can move on with my life. I would do anything for this man which is the only reason I’m on here airing out my dirty laundry. If y’all need a lawyer in West Texas, y’all better call this man. I promise you whatever he gonna charge you, he’s worth it.

Anyone can catch a case unexpectedly

In January my husband and I both worked for sister companies. Officials came for someone that lived behind these companies which was property our boss owned. He conveniently left when a coworker called him to leave and left my husband and I to deal with the turmoil that would occur throughout that da...y. Was subpoenaed within a week and our world turned into something we never experienced before. Wasn’t sure where to turn to and my daughter in law recommended that we lawyer up thus bringing us to Keith & Lorfing. We weren’t prepared and were sitting ducks as we were being told that we were covered by the company Attorney which was not true at all. It was all last minute, but this practice moved pretty quick. Called them the day before meeting an agent for a subpoena. It was later in the day so I was pleasantly surprised that Russell called that evening. Explained the situation and we were assured that they had a great team and they could look into our ordeal and would schedule a meeting for the next day. Keith & Lorfing had barely opened up a Lubbock office which was close to home. There is where we met for a free consultation with Attorney David Sloan. He took us under his wing and the day of the subpoena he asked the agent to meet me at his office. Mr. Sloan found out my husband and I were being viewed as targets as well. It was a battle of us wanting to leave our employment for some time, but the convenience of working together and our dedication left us in an endless loop. I brought up our concern and there was no more having to doubt ourselves in what anyone else thought as he let the agent know we would leave work in a week. All this even before the retainer. Russell called again on 2/6/25 and let us know they were going against the target accusation aggressively and not to worry. Throughout the process we were being contacted by Secretaries and Attorneys. All were genuinely caring and experienced, putting us at ease. The agents we met with on that fateful day also stated during interview process that we had a great Attorney in Mr. Sloan. We couldn’t agree more as he notified us on May 12th that were no longer being viewed as targets in the case. We will definitely recommend this practice to anyone who may need them. Very kind and Godly people. Good things definitely come out of something bad. If you or a loved one are in chaos needing help don’t look further and give Keith & Lorfing a call.

Life changing experience

Russel got me in very fast, the same day I called, and was very professional, respectful and caring towards myself and the situation that I found myself in. He was very knowledgeable on federal laws and informed me on the point system so we could figure out what kind of time I was looking at. He was ...upfront and honest about what the reality of the situation was. I hired him immediately and it was the best choice I have ever made. Throughout this process Russel never pushed me off onto his colleagues he ALWAYS showed up for me. The end result far surpassed anything I thought was possible and I got my second chance at life! Thank you Russel for everything you have done for me! If you find yourself in a bad situation you can rest assure that getting Russel Lorfing as you attorney, will be the best choice you can make!

I needed a miracle and God used Russell And I got one.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional legal representation provided by Russell and the whole team at Keith & Lorfing during a recent serious legal matter. I called them in desperation and fear that I was going to go to prison for a long time and miss out on my son growing up. From th...e moment we started working together, I knew I was in good hands. Their expertise, professionalism, and unwavering dedication to my case were truly inspiring. Throughout the process, Russell and the team showed genuine care and commitment to ensuring the best possible outcome for me. I read reviews that talked about how they treated their clients like family, but when I actually experienced that it gave me tremendous hope when I needed it most. I truly felt like I had family in my corner fighting for me. They worked tirelessly to advocate on my behalf, ultimately securing a positive resolution that far exceeded my expectations and has given me another opportunity to be with my son as he grows up. I almost stole my son‘s daddy from him by my stupid decisions and actions but thank God I called this firm because I believe God did lead me to them. Beyond their legal skills, my attorney's unwavering support, empathy, and understanding truly made a difference during a challenging time in my life. Their guidance and reassurance gave me the strength and confidence to navigate through the uncertainties of the legal process. I cannot thank them enough for their outstanding representation and for helping me stay out of jail and move forward with my life. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal assistance and will forever be grateful for the positive impact they have had on my life. Thank you all at Keith & Lorfing from the bottom of my heart. Sean

Honest and trustworthy

Our situation was a little unique not living in Texas but our son currently was. We came to Abilne scared, shocked, and terrified for our son. Russell was the very first lawyer we had the opportunity to meet with. We knew immediately he was the guy for this job and hired him that day. We felt confi...dent leaving the state and our son behind in the hands of Russell . Throughout this ordeal he provided my son with a compassionate attitude making my son feel comfortable and confident in this legal process. Together with his team working to indeed prove my son’s constitutional rights were violated was successful in my son’s case being dismissed. Russell never gave up and we are grateful to have had this man in our corner. The future is bright and we have Russell and his team to thank.
