Wonderful to work with.

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.

Superb attorney, practical and gets things done

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

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.

A lawyer you can trust.

In the two separate dealings I had with him, Mr. Minoff had exhibited professionalism beyond expectation. He produced positive results expeditiously, which resulted in lower cost to me. Based on my experience with lawyers ( and I've dealt with several thought out the years) I highly recommend Mr. Min...off.

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.
