We can represent clients in personal injury matters that include the following:

Trucking Accidents

We can also represent the families in wrongful death actions after a beloved member of their family was taken from them by another person or entity’s negligence or recklessness.

  • Russell Lorfing Russell Lorfing

    Russell grew up poor and saw his biological father struggle with addiction and a criminal record. His mother worked two jobs and the graveyard shift to make ends meet. He witnessed first hand the devastating impact drugs and the criminal justice system have on family life. As a young man, he knew he wanted a different life. Through hard work and determination, he became the first person in his family to ever attend and graduate college. Russell is married to Jessica Lorfing, his beautiful wife, and he is the proud father of three amazing boys. He enjoys camping, hiking, and Longhorn football. One of his greatest passions in life is exploring exotic places and adventure travel. He has traveled to over 70 countries, visited all seven wonders of the world, ran a marathon on the Great Wall of China, hiked to the base camp of Mt. Everest, survived the Amazon jungle, swam with sharks in the Pacific Ocean, explored the mountains of Patagonia, and tried walking on water at the Sea of Galilee.

Why Choose Us for Your Case?

Your choice of an attorney to represent you in your criminal defense or personal injury case is a very critical one. 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.

Attorney Russell Lorfing’s outstanding qualifications for taking on your criminal defense case includes vast experience as a former state and federal prosecutor. This includes handling dozens of trials and hundreds of cases involving both violent and non-violent crimes of the most complex nature including federal cases, fraud, Medicare/Medicaid crimes, political corruption, white collar crimes, and more.

At Keith and Lorfing, we are the only firm in West Texas that employs three former federal prosecutors. Moreover, partner Trey Keith has obtained more “not Guilty” verdicts than any other attorney in the Big Country. Our clients rest easy knowing that our attorneys have over 60 years of cumulative trial experience. And because so many of our attorneys were former federal prosecutors, we can think like a prosecutor. That ability gives us deep insight into how your state or federal prosecutor will work to convict you and how that can best be countered. Additionally, our trial team handles various types of personal injury and civil litigation matters. Lead by partner Jack Hurd, our team handles civil cases including trucking accidents, workplace and oil rig accidents, and wrongful death cases.
