We Are West Texas Tough
Nationally Recognized Trial AttorneysWe 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. Partner Brandi Young has over two decades of experience as a trail attorney in West Texas. Partner David Sloan saw the value of West Texas and got here as soon as he could. 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
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.
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.
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.
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

The Attorneys
David Sloan
Partner
Meet David“He put his trial skills to work in the courtroom, prosecuting cases for Ellis County and the District Attorney’s office in Waxahachie. His skills were recognized by the trial lawyers around him, and he went from a misdemeanor prosecutor to lead counsel on murder trials in less than three years.”
Sakinah Horne
The Trailblazer
Meet Sakinah“A bold litigator, Sakinah was born to be a trial attorney. As the first in her family to graduate college, she has become accustomed to forging her own path. She approaches each case with that same toughness and resilience – when the conventional legal path reaches an impasse, you can count on Sakinah to make her own way. Bold. Resilient. Trail blazer.”
Eric Gerard
Of Counsel
Meet Eric“Eric brings big-city results to West Texans while reinforcing the firm’s commitment to freedom, fairness, and real accountability for those who hurt others and refuse to follow the rules.”
Brandi Young
Partner
Meet Brandi“Our field general, Brandi is one of the most well-respected (and feared) attorneys in West Texas. She is a force of nature in and out of the courtroom.”
Drake Kube
The Golden Boy
Meet Drake“With an unyielding commitment to justice and a deep-rooted sense of integrity, Drake embodies the essence of "West Texas Tough." A proud graduate of Baylor Law School, where he served as class vice president, he combines leadership with legal expertise to advocate fiercely for his clients.”
Matt Bailey
Law Clerk
Meet Matt“Matt comes from a family of doctors so it’s no surprise he has a passion for helping people who have been injured in an accident.”

Hanna Kincheloe
The Boxer
Meet Hanna“She may be our newest intern but Hanna is already punching way above her weight class. She’s punctual, diligent, and as sweet as molasses. As a junior at Hardin Simmons University, she represents her school with class and distinction. We doubt she has a mean bone in her body but we would wager she has a mean right hook. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. ”
Keith Quigley
Special Investigator
Meet Keith“With 27 years as an FBI Special Agent in Lubbock, Keith Quigley has built a reputation for integrity, leadership, and a relentless pursuit of justice.”
Wendi Pearson

Bill Lutrell
The Statesmen
Meet Bill“With over 30 years of experience, Bill looks more like a politician than a business manager. A CPA and certified bad a**, BIll keeps the trains running and handles the business side of the firm.”
Elizabeth Alexander
The 007
Meet Elizabeth“Bond. James Bond. Or as we call her, Elizabeth. She is the first person you see or talk to at Keith and Lorfing. But don’t let her kindness fool you - she’s more than meets the eye. She speaks russian. She grew up in Ukraine. And she knows how to operate a chainsaw and heavy machinery. ”
Giselle Rey
Paralegal
Meet Giselle“I’m a small-town girl with big dreams, driven to be a voice for the unheard and a bridge to justice for communities like the one that raised me.”
Mandy Kennedy
