Robert Franklin Keefer's Reviews

I was cited for 'reckless driving' for driving above speed limit.
I recieved Bob's name from one of his peers who did not work at the same county. Bob and his staff were attentive, understanding and very professional.
Bob managed to amend my charge to 'improper driving'!!!
Amazing right? If you are ever in need for an excellent attorney- this is the person you should hire. I recommend him highly.

When I called Keefer about my case, he called me back promptly with all the details of my case, as well as the details of prior incidents. After talking with several other lawyers, I decided he offered me the best chance with my trial. Thanks to a little bit of luck, as well as unparalleled preparedness on his part, my case was eventually dropped. He was the only attorney who gave me confidence my case could win, and he backed it up when it meant the most.

I was cited with reckless Driving on I-81 for doing 87 on a 70. I was really worried because this being a criminal offense in Virginia, it would stay on my record forever and potentially cost me my job with the National Park Service. I contacted Mr. Keefer after hearing good things about him from friends at my school (JMU). He was very straight forward with me and I just felt this sense of confidence in him. I did not have to attend court and he was able to reduce my case from reckless driving (misdemeanor criminal charge) to just speeding (traffic infraction). There is no reason why you should hesitate in contacting Mr. Keefer for your legal needs. Simply put, Bob Keefer is the man!!

I am very grateful I found Mr. Keefer to represent me. I had gotten a reckless driving (speeding over 80) and Mr. Keefer got it reduced to improper driving. Mr. Keefer & Beth were always quick to respond to phone calls & emails. I followed their advice & instructions. I highly recommend this firm.

Mr. Keefer represented me in a moving violation that occurred in Summer 2011. He and his office staff were great with following up and making sure that we had a solid case with important information.

The outcome was very fair and what was expected. I would not have been able to do this on my own, especially living outside of Virginia.

Many thanks to Mr. Keefer and his office staff. I highly recommend this firm.

My son got in touch with Robert Keefer as a result of recommendations from friends. Other lawyers he had spoken with told him how completely hopeless his case was and indicated that they would beg the court for mercy. Mr. Keefer didn’t laugh. He listened attentively to my son’s story and said that there were many options but that he needed to move quickly. So we signed up for his defense. I don’t want to go into any details for privacy reasons. But this was a pretty serious case with dire consequences. What Mr. Keefer accomplished was nothing short of astounding. The outcome could not possibly have been better.

I highly recommend Mr. Keefer to the parents of any JMU student. Excellence in the practice of law requires not just extensive knowledge but charisma, intuition, risk taking skill, marketing skill, people skill, horse trading skill and “off-the-hook” creativity. Bob Keefer has all of that going for him plus some serious x-factor. He is absolutely the best!

Mr. Keefer had excellent knowledge of the law. He was always prepared for court. in addition, his staff was most helpful at all times. Communication was great.

From the moment I called Mr. Keefer's office regarding my charge, he and his staff gave me their individed attention, were respectful to me and non-judgemental. Mr. Keefer and Beth gave me sound advice and instruction, step by step. By my following his instructions to the letter, ground work was laid for Mr. Keefer to be able to successfully negotiate a reduced charge for me from a criminal offense to an infraction. I highly recommend him to anyone needing an attorney for a moving violation of any kind.

Bob did a good job for my daughter - got charges dismissed with community service and avoided the ASAP program on what was a really petty charge, which unfortunately is the world we live in right now. Lesson learned for my daughter - never admit to anything to a police officer. Sad but true.

My daughter was a student at JMU and an out of state driver. She was charged with a DUI. We retained Bob Keefer upon a recommendation from a local businessman. Mr. Keefer not only represented us well he stayed with our case for a year ultimately helping to have the charge reduced. He and his office were available, informative and very professional at all times.

Mr. Keefer and his office were very responsive to every single one of my phone calls and emails. I had contacted a few other lawyers and I had to either wait a long time or they never returned my calls. I was impressed with the professionalism of Mr. Keefer. The reviews I read on Google were right! Mr. Keefer delivers results. My father received his first ticket in 20 years and it was a reckless charge! Mr. Keefer successfully brought it down to an infraction. We are so relieved. On top of that, Ms. Tuba was there to answer all my emails and calls (and there were many). She went the extra mile and provided me with information about a driver's education course to add points to my dad's record. I highly recommend Mr. Keefer.

Had a accident going north on I-81 and was cited for reckless driving.Read up on what that meant in Va and decided to get a lawyer.Bob keefer has some real good videos out so you can understand what could possibly happen if convicted. Never had to deal with a attorney before this. Did every thing that was asked of me and he went to bat for me and was successful in getting reduced to improper driving.Highly reccomend Bob Keefer

My 20 year old son was one of four passangers in a car. They were pulled over by the police. The police found an unopened keg of beer in the car. Although the beer belonged only to the driver and no one in the car was drinking they all were charged with underage possesion of alchol. All were given court dates. Since this was such a serious legal matter we hired Mr. Keefer to represented my son in court.Thoughout the legal process Mr. Keefer answered all our questions. He was very understanding and we felt very confident in the way he was handling everything. His assistant Beth was always so kind, no matter how many times we called! Mr. Keefer was able to get the charged against my son dismissed. My son's friend ,who was also only a passenger in the car, choose to represent himself. He was found guilty. He had to pay a fine, do community service and was put on probation. SO DON'T GO TO COURT WITHOUT A GOOD LAWYER. We highly recommend Mr. Keefer.

Bob has served me very well on more than one legal transaction. He is extremely knowledgable, upfront, helpful and well informed.

I would recommend Bob to anyone who requires legal assistance.

Bob helped out our son who received a reckless driving charge in Shenandoah county. We found out that this is more than just a traffic ticket. The charges were more serious. Bob knows the people in the system (police, judges, etc...) and that was to our son's benefit. He used his relationship and knowledge of the system to negotiate the charge to a traffic ticket. He did a wonderful job.
I must mention here that his staff was courteous, patient and helpful. All of our questions were answered. Thank you Bob

I'm a student visa immigrant with an out of state license stopped on I81 for 92 in a 65 zone (reckless driving). Case settled for community service and $81 court costs. I am extremely grateful for Mr. Keefer's help in overcoming my mistake.

Bob recently represented me in traffic court. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional. Even though I came to him at the last moment, he handled the matter just as any other case. I recommend him to everyone.

Very good lawyer. Better than any of them I talked to for my case. Talked to you in normal terms and was very knowledgeable.

Beth Todd was very helpful in my case too.

Thank You

I received a frantic call from my daughter on a recent evening to inform me that the speeding ticket she recently received was in fact a Reckless Driving violation which is considered a misdemeanor in Virginia. She also informed me that the hearing was scheduled for the day after tomorrow. With little time to waste and being from out of state, I began scouring the internet for attorneys located in the Harrisonburg, VA area that specialized in traffic violations. I left messages for several of them and received a return call the following morning from the office of Bob Keefer.

The office staff was very responsive and professional and answered my questions in a timely manner.

Bob Keefer thoroughly explained to my daughter and myself what he believed would take place in court the following morning and that he was available to represent her. We retained his services and received a call the following morning at 9:45 to in inform us that he was able to have the infraction reduced from reckless driving to a speeding violation.

The final result was as predicted by Attorney Keefer and needless to say we were very pleased with his service.

Bob did not mince words. He was honest about the chances regarding the the outcome of the trial indicating that nothing, obviously, is certain when dealing with the judicial system. Bob knows the local justice system, is respected by them, and knows how to handle a case. It is worth mentioning that supplying the records he asks for and completing any necessary steps he reccomends are crucial to a positive outcome in your favor.

Overall, Mr. Keefer was an excellent choice as a lawyer for me. It was money well spent and i don't think the result of my case would have turned out positively without his assistance. However, before the actual court date i would have preferred to have been kept a little more informed about the status of my case.

Bob Keefer represented our son, a student at JMU. Bob was very knowledgeable of the law, the personalities and history of the police, PA, and judge, and of the community. We were confident in Bob and happy with the outcome.

It was our good luck to have our son find Mr. Keefer. Without much communication from our son, having a knowledgeable source literally at the source of our issue made all the difference in the world. He understood the Harrisonburg system and we were able to reslove our legal problems with his expertise and guidance.

Bob Keefer did what he said he was going to do. No smoke, no mirrors.. he just plain and simply got the job done.

I was absolutely blown away with the knowledge level and representation that Robert F Keefer provided in my recent DUI trial. I had interviewed other attorneys that had told me, "I would be doing good to get my BAC lessoned," however Mr. Keefer never doubted the situation. He pursued the case to the best of his ability and actually explored every possible defense in the case. The outcome speaks for itself. I came from a .16 BAC to a Reckless Driving, with the potential consequences shortened beyond belief. I would whole-heartedly reccomend Robert Keefer.

Bob did a good job at letting me know what I needed to have for the court case and when and where I needed to be. I had a great outcome for the situation I was in. He was a little preoccupied with other cases on the court date but overall he is a solid lawyer. Only downfall was his fee, which is to be expected.

Obey the speed limit WHEREVER you drive. Especially in VA! I was driving well over 80mph trying to get to a college orientation with my son at JMU and was summons for "Reckless Driving", unbeknowns to me a Criminal Offense in VA. Now at stake was not only my insurance rates, points on my record, but more importantly than that was my government clearances and my private pilots license as a criminal conviction, one looses both of these certifications. I researched on line and found Mr. Keefer, made a call and spoke to him briefly and felt I had found the right representation. I am from out of state and a mandatory appreance in court is required. Mr. Keefer made that appearance for me. Not only did he get my summons reduced, it was reduced to a "traffic infraction for improper driving", wow, that was more than expected! His assistant was extremely helpful in guiding me through the few items I needed to produce for the appearance and was always prompt in returning emails and phone calls. Had it not been for their assistance I would be in a very bad situation right now. I thank them dearly for their representation of my poor judgement in speeding to get to an appointment on time!

In June of 2010 my wife was involved in a one car accident in Virginia that resulted with her being charged with DUI. We live in New England and I knew I needed legal representation but had no idea who to retain. I called a lawyer friend in D.C. who gave me the name of an attorney in VA who in turn immediately told me I should hire Bob Keefer and I did. This became the best advice I could ever have expected. We worked primarily by e-mail and cell phones and from an actual written contract that identifies just what he will do on your behalf. And it is Keefer who represents you, not another attorney within his firm. His rapport with law enforcement and the Commonwealth Attorneys was extremely valuable. This was enormously important with his attempt at reaching a reasonable dispositon for everyone involved. He is trustworthy and will be aggressive in performing everything he can on your behalf. He succeeded with my wife's case.

Bob Keefer helped me out a great deal, without his representation I'd be in a much different position today.

Mr. Keefer provided me with the guidance and steps I needed to resolve the issues I had with my summons. He listened to my explanation of the situation and he delivered what he thought would be the final results. I could not have found a better attorney and I am glad I chose him to represent me......it was very professional.

Living near Waynesboro, I was taking my wheelchair bound wife to supper in Staunton. We got onto I-64 and three minutes later we were lasered by a deputy sheriff from 1/4 mile away who claimed that I was driving 85 in a 65 mile zone. This I still find hard to believe considering the large volume of traffic that was on the road. In any case the ticket meant a charge of reckless driving. Considering the implications, I may have had a huge fine, loss of license, and possible jail time. I contacted Bob Keefer who agreed to represent me in court. Bob went to court for me and was able to have the charges reduced to simply speeding with a modest fine. I shall be forever greatful to Bob and would reccommend him as a representative in traffic court anytime.

Bob took care of a speeding ticket that I couldn't afford to have on my record. He kept in contact at all stages of my case and keeps the client feel included in their case. If I ever have any other problems in the area again, I will definitely call Bob.

Mr. Keefer represented me in a Harrisonburg, VA DUI case.

He is also trained and certified in standardized field sobriety testing, and has a firm understanding of its limits under the law.

Mr. Keefer handled my 85 year old mothers traffic case and was able to get it dismissed. We were grateful and pleased with his services

Mr. Keefer and his office staff were extremely responsive to my needs in a highly professional, yet easy-going manner. My case was handled successfully at a minimal inconvenience to me. I would highly recommend Mr. Keefer!

Bob was there for me during some very challenging times in Harrisonburg, VA. He was very frank in laying out my legal options and advising me the most suitable course of action. As we continue to deal with the aftermath of my case, Bob has been very helpful every time I call him to handle business for me in VIrginia. He is smart, friendly, and he knows the court system extremely well. Although he is a busy man, he always makes it a point to be receptive to any questions, concerns, or suggestions I have. Bob has been and will remain my go-to lawyer for any legal counsel I have need in the state of Virginia.

After being clocked at 81 mph on an Interstate Highway in Virginia, I contacted the Keefer Law Firm. Response was prompt, pleasant and professional. When Mr. Keefer presented my case before the General District Court, the court reduced my Reckless Driving Misdemeanor to a speeding infraction.

In an otherwise unpleasant circumstance, it was both pleasant and reassuring to have had the legal experience and professional services Mr. Robert F. Keefer and his staff.


Staunton, VA

Mr. Keefer's firm represented my husband in a case involving a traffic violation. I found his name on the internet since we live out of state. I knew nothing about him when we hired him. Both he and his assistant were organized and responsive and the outcome of the case was favorable. I would definitely recommend him.

Mr. Keefer
* Is extremely passionate in defendeing his clients rights.
* Proved to me that he is very knowlegable on how field sobriety tests
must be conducted.
* Understands what is, and what is not, probable cause and can prove
it in court.
* Brought in an expert witness to prove that the field sobriety test was
impropery administered in several way.
* Based on what I experienced and what I saw in court that day, Mr.
Keefer is the best in Harrisonburg for a DWI defense.

Flying on Interstate in new BMW M3. Clocked at 95 in 60. Speeding and reckless driving. While I was in Paris for four months he reduced offense to speeding. Paid fine from Paris by phone, credit card. End of problem. Worth every cent.?

Our son was recently arrested for an alcohol-related offense by the JMU Police Department. It was every parents nightmare, especially for those whose kids had never been in trouble before. We realized immediately that being from "out-of-state" placed us at a significant disadvantage. Into the breach stepped Mr. Keefer and he was a Godsend. His knowledge, compassion, counsel, and experience were superb. He succeeded in having the charges against our son dismissed. Without his efforts on our behalf I shudder to think what could have happened. We also want to take a moment to thank Mr. Keefer's paralegal, Beth, for her kindness and professional assistance to us during what was a very stressful time for our family. The Keefer Law firm is a highly effective team of professionals that go the distance for their clients.?

was charged with reckless driving in Virgina due to speeding. Contacted a few firms I found on Google but the only person who made me feel comfortable was Bob Keefer. After speaking with Bob i knew he was the guy for me. He delivered what he said he would and was able to have it reduced to speeding with the reckless charge removed. Beth, Bob's assistant, was extremely helpful and courteous making it very easy to do business with them.?

Charged with reckless driving. 85 in a 65. Had it reduced to 80 in a 65. I had 2 speeding tickets prior to this one within the last 2 years, but at no point did Mr. Keefer say that there was no chance of the charges being reduced. He was very professional, kept me up to date, and was always very responsive whenever I had questions. I highly recommend him if you happen to be in the same situation. Mr. Keefer is very dependable and extremely good at what he does.

Bob and Beth did a great job on my case. I was charged with reckless (85/65). I had shopped around for attorneys to represent me. I think I made the correct choice. The whole case went out smoothly. Unlike others who just promise you, Bob actually gets the job done. I am really impressed with his and other members of his staff, the way they handled the case. There was never a time when I would call and I would get to their voice-message. Someone would always be there to assist you. The prompt replies and confirmations when you send your documents is really appreciated. The office is worth the money that they charge.?

Some people believe that doing nothing or pleading to a charge is a cost-effective solution. Playing lawyer is not a good idea when dealing with reckless driving or DUI charges in Virginia. My friends learned this the hard way and told me that the lawyer who can help people avoid unnecessary difficulty and expense is Bob Keefer.

Thankfully I listened and I can now recommend Mr. Keefer without reservation - his expertise and advice were immensely valuable to me. He specializes in traffic and DUI cases and has for many years. He is ethical, effective and very personable. Worth every penny.

Bob did a great job and I'd hire him again.

I recently received a reckless driving ticket for going 89/65 in Shenandoah County. Little did I know that this was not considered a normal speeding ticket in Virginia like it would be in most states...the state actually recognizes anything over 80mph as a misdemeanor (to my surprise since I am from out of state). Realizing the seriousness of the matter, I did a ton of research and spoke with various attorneys. I decided to have Bob Keefer represent me based on all of his great reviews and after speaking with him and his office manager, Beth. Thank God I chose Bob. Throughout the whole process both Bob and Beth were very kind and kept me up to date with the whole process. I was worried but deep down I knew I was in good hands. There's an old saying "it's not what you know, but who you know." Well, Bob is not only well versed in his legal expertise, but he also has a good rapport with the prosecutors, law enforcement officials, and judges in Shenandoah County where my case was being held since he's worked with them for so long. This was a huge positive for my case as not only did Bob manage to get my ticket reduced to a normal speeding infraction (79/65), but he amazingly also got my fine waived. I could not have asked for a better result and I would HIGHLY recommend Bob Keefer to anyone who may be facing a similar predicament to mine.

I was ticketed for doing 91 MPH in a 65 MPH zone on Interstate 81 which is a reckless driving offense in Virginia - a class one misdemeanor that stays on your record for life. The smartest thing I did was immediately research, find and retain the best local lawyer I could to represent me and that was Bob Keefer.

Bob reviewed my case and laid out a clear and simple strategy to present me and my case to the judge in the best possible light. He and Beth were clear about what was going to be required of me and managed my anxiety and expectations honestly. The experience is not one I want to repeat, but God forbid I have to, I'll hire Bob Keefer and his staff again!

In the end, Bob represented me in court, while I managed a high profile product launch at my office. He saved me from taking time off in the middle of the week while working on a critical project - and a nearly four hour drive to court. Bob had my reckless driving ticket pleaded down to speeding and I could not be more happy.

I can hardily recommend Bob Keefer without reservation.

Sadly, I was pulled over one Saturday night for a DUI and did not have the good sense to refuse the roadside tests. I spent the night in jail (1st time ever at age 66!) wondering how in the world I had gotten into this mess. Initially I thought "you got into this mess, you get yourself out," but the advice of two friends eventually convinced me that if I did not retain legal counsel, the legal system would lower boon, and even if I avoided jail time, I would lose my license for an extended period. Thankfully, I contacted Robert F. Keefer. His expertise and experience in navigating the legal shoals and mastering scientific evidence in DUI cases resulted in a reduction of charges from DUI to reckless driving, and he did so with dispatch. Perhaps some foklks would not be quite as worried about an impending DUI conviction as I was, but having the matter resolved was certainly a great relief to me!?

Mr. Keefer is an Awesome lawyer who will go above and beyond the call of duty for his clients.If it was not for Mr. Keefer and his staff I would have lost everything I worked for in my military career. He fought hard in my case and won. The best, A-1. Thanks again to Mr.Keefer and his friendly staff.
