The experience, insight, skills, and work ethic that your attorney has can make the difference in how your case is resolved. It can impact whether you land up in jail or prison or go free. This basic rule holds true in all professions but is crucial when your freedom, future, reputation, livelihood, and more is on the line. At Keith & Lorfing, we understand that. It is why we never hold back from putting in the time, attention to detail, and the use of all our skills on behalf of our clients.
