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 whe...n 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.

Excellent !!

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 ver...y 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 th...e 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.

It was a great experience for someone who rarely uses legal services. Keith is honest and straight forward and I believe was acting 100% for my benefit. I think his fees for services rendered were fair and I would recommend him to anyone needing a lawyer for employment issues.
