We Are West Texas Tough Nationally Recognized Trial Attorneys

We are THE law firm in West Texas

While most firms focus on metropolitan areas like Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, or Austin and pay lip service to West Texas, we exclusively focus on helping our West Texas communities.  Keith & Lorfing has offices in Abilene, Lubbock, Midland, and San Angelo.  We don’t just understand the legal system out in West Texas, we know the system.  Our former law partners are now judges and elected district attorneys in West Texas.  So when we say we know the judges and the prosecutors, and what the courts expect, we’re not just blowing smoke.   More importantly, our roots run deep.  Managing partner Russell Lorfing was a federal prosecutor in Lubbock.  Partner Trey Keith has lived in Sweetwater for 25 years.  Of counsel Joel Wilks is a fourth generation West Texan.  Of counsel Christopher Solis grew up in far west Texas or he would say, the real west Texas. From the Panhandle to the Llano Estacado all the way down to Big Bend, we are proud to focus our legal practice in the Wild West

What Does it Mean to be West Texas Tough

West Texas Tough means different things to different people. To us, it's more than a slogan - it's a lifestyle and mindset on how we approach each case.

West Texas Tough refers

  1. to the same grit and determination that defined the American West.   We believe that all things are possible through hard work and dedication.  Our lawyers believe that natural talent is secondary to work ethic. When the other side works hard, we work harder.  When they file five motions, we file ten.  West Texas Tough means outworking the competition
  2. A mental fortitude that embraces a never-say-never mentality.  When people tell us that a certain result is “impossible” we double down and look for ways to make the impossible, possible.  West Texas Tough means never giving up.
  3. Embracing a warrior’s mindset.  We’re trial lawyers.  And we’re not afraid of a fight.  While most lawyers these days talk about settlement and negotiation, we rely on our years of trial experience.  And while there is a certainly a place in the legal system for negotiation, West Texas Tough means bringing the fight to our opponent.
  4. Leaning in when others tune out.  Lawyers love to hear themselves talk.  It’s easy to hire a person and tell them what to do.  It’s much more difficult to hire someone and let them tell you what to do.  To be an effective advocate and properly advise our client, it means checking our egos at the door and any preconceived notions we have on a certain topic.  West Texas Tough means listening to our clients first and only then developing a strategy for your case
