I have been doing business in the Springfield area for many years. Although I have a company lawyer,he referred us to Keith who he felt was better able to handle our issue. Keith met with us right away and was very easy to talk. He quickly got a handle on the issues that need to be resolved. He was able to resolve all issues in a short amount of time without going to court which of course saved us of time and money. I would recommend Keith as a no nonsense get to the point attorney who truly has respect for you and your time and money.
I recently hired Keith Minoff to handle a general matter for me which turned into a related litigation. Keith was superb in court and in earlier negotiations. Keith's fees were extremely reasonable. I would hire Keith again

Sending Gratitude to Keith Minoff
We were referred to Keith Minoff by our trusted family attorneys. Having never dealt with the legal system and facing a lawsuit that had potential to be devastating, we met with Keith. We were more than fortunate to be able to attain his services. He was always honest and available when needed. His intelligence and creativity always found positive solutions. Keith’s ability to handle our stress while enduring a trial was a gift. The judge ruled in our favor on all counts. Our gratitude is without limits.

Refuse to Pay
It had been close to a year emailing back and forth with a general contractor who owed me a large sum of money on a public works contract. I retained attorney Minoff and immediately saw some progress. He wasted no time going after the bonding company and within a short period of time, I was paid in full. He was quick to gather the facts of the case, make our demands, and keep it out of the courts.
I would highly recommend attorney Minoff and would not hesitate to use him again in the future.

Best of the Best
Keith represented me in a products liability case. I was very satified with the outcome keith was able to get. He is a consummate professional who is detail oriented and methodical. Everything he told me would happen did. He is extremely knowledgeable about the law and excellent in action. Keith's has years of successful experience. He is honest, and cares about the people he represents. I started hiring a lawyer and along the way, gained a friend. If he choses to accept your case, HIRE HIM IMMEDIATELY!

Keith provided invaluable knowledge and support to have our issue resolved through mediation. He guided us concerning the law, strengths and weaknesses of our case and what would be involved potentially going to court. His support helped with making a knowledgable determination based on facts and not emotions.

Client
Keith Minoff is both a first class Attorney and Gentlemen. He did an outstanding job for me and my situation. A victory , exceeding expectations. I have had very unique perspective to observe Keith as Juror and a client. When I hired Keith I had no idea, he was the Attorney I was so impressed with as Juror nearly 5 years earlier. After a couple of meetings with Keith , his calm manner, intellect and warm presence , felt familiar. Yes, my attorney was the same amazing winning man, who did a fantastic job for his client at the time and won over the entire Jury. Keith is that Lawyer and much more, he earnestly cares about you. He immerses himself in your struggle to effectively and sincerely convey what you are feeling to the other side. He communicate with you immediately and never leaves waiting. Keith Minoff's clients, their concerns, well being and goals are a priority to him. Match this with his intellect , outstanding communication skills, work ethic and successful track record, I can not imagine anyone hiring anyone but Keith. I would recommend Keith Minoff, without any hesitation or reservation. He was a life saver in my case. Putting it plainly, he got my dignity back !!!!!

Thorough, Steadfast Counsel
I hired Keith Minoff to represent me in a family related litigation. His first effort was to have the case thrown out of court, as the plaintiff did not appear to have standing to bring the suit. He made a motion to have the case dismissed and when we went to court I was impressed by the depth and breadth of his argument, which effectively refuted each of the points put forth by the opposition. The judge asked few clarifying questions of Keith, which confirms the clarity and efficacy of his argument. The motion was granted.
He is also impressively responsive to questions and concerns regarding the case, as opposed to the many attorneys these days who take weeks to respond to the slightest query.

Thank you!
I retained Keith Minoff, Esquire to negotiate a separation agreement with my former employer. Throughout the process, I was impressed by Keith’s clarity and expertise in the area of labor law and found his non-judgmental, consultative approach to be very reassuring. Keith was very good about keeping me well informed over several weeks and offered practical, non-judgmental, professional advice. I was pleased with the terms of the final agreement and felt very comfortable working in partnership with Attorney Minoff to resolve this matter.
Thank you, Keith!

Local Government; Political Landmines Vs. Executed Contractual Terms
Mr. Minoff’s services were retained at a critical point during my most recent tenure when my employer was seeking separation arbitrarily and unfairly. Mr. Minoff’s services were recommended to me by a major local government association. Mr. Minoff quickly demonstrated understanding of the unique arena and context with which the matter took place. Mr. Minoff carefully considered my strategic analysis and approach regarding the matter and provided secure legal grounds to honestly evaluate my position. Mr. Minoff was calm and focused even during intensely public hearings. Mr. Minoff took care to prepare me as a client; my expectations were tempered with his sound legal advice and he was sincere in his understanding of the pressure that I was under. Mr. Minoff was excellent at not allowing my former employer to control the narrative. Mr. Minoff was particularly adept at preventing my employer or their representation from using political ammunition to deter from the consideration of objective public policy, legal statutes, and executed contracts all of which ultimately governed/ruled the matter that I hired Mr. Minoff to represent me in. Mr. Minoff was sensitive to the nuances of the situation and made recommendations that protected my aggregate interests while recommending practical and incremental steps towards getting my employer to understand that they were in fact involved in a legal matter with me and not immersed within the political arena. Mr. Minoff was careful to ensure that my severance package provided me with symmetrical protection as a minimum. Beyond just the minimum, Mr. Minoff fought hard and successfully to capture compensation for my losses both monetary and those which I viewed as incommensurable. It would behoove any individual seeking representation for matters concerning Human Resources, Contractual Negotiations, and Especially Government/Agency separations to consider the services of Mr. Keith A. Minoff if they want substantive representation and successful outcomes!

Employee Dismissal
I hired Keith Minoff to help with an employee I was in the process of terminating. Keith explained my options as well as gave me the risks of terminating the employee. He drew up a separation agreement that was signed, without incident, by the departing employee. He was very helpful and thorough. I would highly recommend Keith for any employment related issues.

A patient and thorough Attorney
Keith was very thorough with me when I hired him for a labor dispute. He took his time and reviewed all documents and information regarding my case. It was a stressful time to say the least but Keith checked in on me and assured me things would be ok. And they ended up more than ok and in my favor.
Keith is very calm and methodical in his approach to a case. I still retain and use him currently.

Personnel Issues - Manufacturing Company
If you are an employer you know how difficult and stressful personnel issues can be. On several occasions Keith gave us very clear guidance that educated us, reduced or eliminated our exposure, and disarmed one or two sticky situations in this area. As a result, Keith is our first and only call when legal support is warranted in all aspects of our operation. I would encourage you to update your rolodex. And, if a more thorough pre-flight is needed, ask Keith for my contact info - I will be happy to receive your call and discuss further.

We had a very stressful situation with a machine manufacturer who sold us an inferior piece of equipment and were getting nowhere with the negotiations. We called Keith and he came in, made me feel calm and the stress went away. We were able to come to a conclusion that worked well for us. I am very glad I called Keith and would do so in the future. Very fair pricing and always was available by phone for my questions.

Client review for Attorney Keith Minoff
I would highly recommend Keith Minoff as an attorney. While many attorneys take a long time to get a case underway, Attorney Keith Minoff got my case to mediation within a very short time, which is very uncommon with many other attorneys. I feel he is very competent and knowledgeable as he takes the extra time to do extra research and review other case law that may pertain to your case. He is very thorough and always goes above and beyond to do what is in his client's best interest. I would consider him one of the top practicing attorneys in the area and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation.

I recommend Keith Minoff
When ever you find yourself in a position that you need an attorney dealing with a business litigation issue, I would highly recommend Attorney Keith Minoff. Keith was highly recommended to me by another attorney for a legal issue that I was having with a business contract which was somewhat mature. I really appreciated Keith’s opinion and common sense approach with the advice he gave me. Sometimes when you are emotionally tied to your position, you sometimes cannot see the trees when you are standing in the forest! Keith is responsive and a very personable, easy person to work with.

He is a tough advocate and a worthy adversary. Although my personal experience with him is in the personal injury field, I am equally confident in his abilities in the areas of business and employment law. I have referred employment cases to him on a number of occasions. I gladly endorse Keith Minoff."
