Emily Williamson
Paralegal & Discovery Coordinator
Emily has been a team member at Keith & Lorfing since February of 2022. She started out as an intern,
but quickly developed a passion for the legal field, our clients, and the work that we do as a team. During her time with Keith & Lorfing, Emily has worked as a receptionist, legal assistant, and now serves as a paralegal and the primary Discovery Manager for all state and federal cases.
Emily obtained her undergraduate and graduate degrees at Hardin-Simmons University in 2023 and thankfully decided to stay on as part of the team after graduation. With two degrees in Criminal Justice, a variety of internship experiences in the legal field, and nearly three years of experience with the firm, Emily strives to ensure that cases are handled efficiently and attorneys have all of the information that they need to make the client experience with Keith & Lorfing one worth telling all of West Texas about.
When Emily isn’t on the job for the firm, she enjoys spending time with her family and serving her community. Currently, Emily serves as an adjunct professor for Criminal Justice courses at Hardin-Simmons University. Whenever you see Emily, whether that’s in the office or out serving her West Texas community, you’re sure to see a smile on her face!
