The Keith & Lorfing law firm is the leading law firm in West Texas for criminal law.

We are best known for our litigation skills, trial abilities, and our down-to-earth approach in resolving cases effectively and efficiently. With a solid reputation and track record in criminal law, you can feel confident that our law firm has the necessary expertise and resources to protect your legal rights during life’s unexpected challenges.

We level the playing field for hard working West Texans by aggressively defending their rights in and out of the courtroom.

Why We Do What We Do


Everything we do – every decision we make, every client we choose to work with, every case we file – is driven by our desire to level the playing field for working-class Texans.  Each of our attorneys comes from humble beginnings and knows the value of hard work.  Our fathers and grandfathers were mechanics, laborers, firefighters, and enlisted military – and we haven’t forgotten where we come from.   We’ve intentionally chosen not to represent corporations or the 1 percenters.  Instead, we advocate for people like us – hard-working, family-oriented West Texans who simply want to give their kids a better life than they had.   Sometimes that means standing up to the State of Texas when they are trying to strong-arm a plea offer.  Other times, it means rolling up our sleeves and fighting it out in front of a jury to defend your freedom.   Regardless of the adversary, know our mission remains the same – to level the playing field for people like me and you.
