The Lorfing Law Firm

I received a notice that Child Protective Services (CPS) was investigating me for hitting one of my children. Imagine a child you love making such an allegation about you. It was devastating to me and my family. I had never laid a hand on my child but how do you disprove a negative? How does one prove their innocent in this day and age? I feared the state would try and put me in jail, or worse, take away my children. Although I live in Houston, I was told that Russell Lorfing is the best defense attorney in the state of Texas. And folks, those people weren't lying. It's the best money I've ever spent. I hired him on a Tuesday, and he was on a plane the next day to meet with me and my family. He was present with the CPS interviewed my children and my wife. He prepped us on what to expect and kept us calm through the process. Over the next several weeks, he regularly reached out to the CPS case worker and even called the prosecutor's office to lobby on my behalf. Mr. Lorfing said from day one that he couldn't guarantee a good outcome and that it was unethical for attorneys to promise a certain result but folks, he certainly delivered. The investigator concluded - rightly - that I never harmed my child. The investigation was closed and the prosecutor never brought charges against me. Russell gave me my life back. And I will be forever grateful.nOh and for what's worth, he is the only attorney I've ever met that truly cared. He worked hard on my case but he was also concerned about me as a person. He encouraged me and pushed me to be a better father and a better person. If you ever need a criminal defense attorney, look no further than the Lorfing Law Firm.

April 2021nnMy name is Ron and currently I am a Professor at a University. The purpose of these remarks is to share my observations concerning attorney at law, Russell Lorfing.nnRecently one of our sons was involved in a legal matter that potentially could have sent him to prison, perhaps for ten years, and with a significant fine. As we prayerfully pursued legal assistance, we trusted the Lord for a lawyer who would battle our sons’ legal case and stand by him as a strong Christ-like role model. Those prayers were answered and then some.nnFrom the first time we consulted with Russell, to see if he would even consider the case, we could tell that he was an engaged listener with an intentional desire to understand the details of the legal matter. It was easy to tell that Russell, first and foremost, cared about our son as a person and then as a potential client. He began our initial meeting by asking about our sons’ life so he could get to know the character and soul of our son, and then he preceded to ask about the specifics of our son’s legal issues. It was evident Russell wanted to first build a relationship then provide legal counsel. It became clear quickly that our prayers had been answered. My wife and I began to feel a deep peace about the lawyer who was about to take our sons life into his own legal hands. We left our initial meeting with confidence and a sense of justice prevailing. We needed that assurance to calm are own distress.nAs our son’s case moved forward Russell would provide timely and detailed communication. He was always honest and more importantly always hopeful. If we ever had a question, we were given his personal cell number so we would have quick access to his guidance. As the case moved forward, we could tell Russell was giving our sons case undivided attention and was determined to seek justice and get the best settlement possible. Russell outlined best and worst-case scenarios which allowed us to concentrate our hopes and prayers on the best legal outcome. All the time Russell was representing our son he was establishing a rich relationship with our him. To give you an example of his commitment to caring first and representing second, he offered to use his own vehicle to go pick up our son from his rehab center during the unprecedented snow we recently experienced in Texas. He has a four-wheel drive vehicle which could handle the treacherous road conditions of this rare arctic vortex.nWith the highest regard and respect possible I highly recommend him for those in need of a layer who exemplifies dedicated legal representation, unquestionable ethical standards and genuine care for his clients. He has been a Godsend and a blessing to our family.nOn an important side note: he was able to get the grand jury to throw out own sons case and keep him from having a felony on his record. Unbelievable best-case outcome. We will forever be indebted to his amazing efforts.

When I came to the Lorfing lawfirm, I knew I was asking for the impossible. I was a six time convicted felon and the prosecutors would hang me if they could. I was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and a bunch of other offenses. My first attorney told me I was looking at life at prison. When I hired Russell, I had already made the decision to change my life but just didn’t know how. But Russell Lorfing showed me the way. In all my years of dealing with the criminal justice system, I’ve never met anyone like him to be honest with you. He cared about me. He called to check on me. He helped me stay sober and taught me how to believe in myself. He designed this course called Freedom Fighters to help people like me become a better father and a better husband.nnWhen Russell came on to my case, I had no hope. The offer from the prosecutors was 25 years in the pen. He told me to not worry about the time but just to focus on staying sober and providing for my family. He asked me to do a whole lot of stuff – take random drug tests, go to AA every day, counseling, in addition to a laundry list of other things. And I did like he told to do. I don’t know how he did it to this day but he was able to convince the prosecutors to drop most of my charges and all my enhancements. I ended up pleading to five years DEFERRED PROBATION. I would have thought he walked on water had he been able to get me 10 years…I never thought in my wildest dreams I would be able to get probation with my criminal history. Russell gave me my life back. He gave me a second chance at life and a chance to stay home and be a dad to my kids. Words cannot express how grateful I am to this man. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for believing in me and giving me another chance at life.

As an honorably retired FBI Supervisor, I had the opportunity to work with Russ for quite some time while in that position. He was aggressive and a rising star.nnWhen he decided to hang his own shingle, he began taking cases large and small, which quickly earned him the reputation of West Texas Tough.nnWith each client that Russ accepts, he is quickly empathetic and begins representing the client like he would his own family member.nnWhen a lawyer represents you, your name is on the bottom of every legal document he produces. You want representation you are proud to attach your name to and rest assured you can do that with Russ.nnThough my years of experience, I have known hundreds of attorneys and I learned one thing with certainty. When you have need, you don't need a lawyer, you need a GOOD lawyer!nnGive Russ a call and know you have a lawyer that you will be proud to have associated with your name, that indeed is a GOOD lawyer and one that is West Texas Tough.

As I write this interview My experience with Mr. Lorfing isn’t over but has already superseded my expectations. Though in life we shouldn’t have any. I have had to use lawyers in the past and for the most part it’s always a similar feeling of “this is just business”. Not the Lorfing firm. Russell does all he can to make sure you are comfortable and in clear understanding about what actions are being taken to defend your case. He pushes the limits of the law in the most adamant and humble way, to get the best result he can for You. Anyone questioning who they need to retain, you’ve found your answer. The cards were pretty stacked against me and now I’m able to be back in my home sharing my testimony and I’m very grateful to have the chance. Thank you again Mr. Lorfing !
