Not happy with this Attorney at all

I used this Attorney to get my business incorporated and he screwed me. He was very nice and pleasant at first and did helped me get by business incorporated. However prior to that he told me he would file my minutes annually and do all of that no matter what. When it came time to do the minutes for ...the business I called him and he stated he was moving and no longer working with me. I would have appreciated if he was up front from the beginning. I was then told by my accountant that I need to find an Attorney to do that for me. This Attorney is horrible and I would not recommend him to anyone.

Professional and trust worthy

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Keith. Very knowledgeable, trustworthy, and patient. He's thorough with his explanation and is able to explain it in way that non legal experts can understand.

Planning Ahead So Wishes Carried Out

In knowing and hearing of horror stories after someone's death because NO PLANNING WAS DONE IN ADVANCE, I felt it important to have some direction in what could and should be done with proper legal advice and guidance. I chose Rampart Law Group because the team they have specialized in tax and estate... planning. Having peace of mind knowing options to implement health care proxy to executors of estate and property is something that is a necessary and can be somewhat uncomfortable subject. Atty. Phillips and his Law Group made things smooth and comfortable with solid advice and direction.

Wonderful Legal Service

I have had the pleasure of working with Keith and his practice personally and professionally. It was my experience that his communication style was clear, informative, and exceptionally helpful. He ensured that we had our needs met and made himself available despite serveral scheduling challenges. He... was prompt in returning my calls and emails, and answered all of my follow up questions. In my working relationship with Keith, I have found him to be exceptionally knowledgeable in his field, as well as to have integrity, honesty, and respect for all individuals with whom he is working. I would work with him again, and I would recommend him to my family and colleagues without reservation.

Highly recommend Keith and his firm, Rampart Law Group

Keith represented us on the sale of our commercial property. He is very professional. He got the work completed quickly and whenever we had any questions, he was very quick to respond either through email or with a phone call. I would highly recommend him.
