Chuck crushed the scumbag

I still can't believe I was arrested. My sister was in an abusive relationship with a scumbag my family had been trying to get her away from. They were home one night and yelling at each other. I heard a crash in the room, and I ran upstairs. When I went into her room, I saw my sister on the grou...nd with her nose bleeding. I lost it and went after the scumbag. I was defending my sister from this pig, but he ended up getting a broken nose and needed stitches all inside his mouth. I was shocked that after the police came they ended up arresting me for felony assault! My mom hired Attorney Keefe, and from the second I met him I knew he was going to fight as hard for me as I did for my sister. At a pretrial hearing he made the cop look like an idiot, and he made it apparent to the judge that the scumbag got what he deserved. The prosecutor reduced the charge to a misdemeanor, but we wouldn't plead guilty. We had a trial where Chuck showed the judge how much of a scumbag the scumbag really was. The judge found me not guilty. I can't thank Chuck enough for all he did for me. He was so kind and understanding with me, but he crushed the cop and the scumbag on the stand. Thank you, Chuck!

Thank You!

The night I broke up with my ex, she stabbed herself in the leg (I'm not joking) and called the cops saying I did it. After they arrested me, the cop told me I was probably going to prison for stabbing her. I was freaking out. Thankfully, my family hired Chuck for me. He was able to demonstrate t...o the judge, prosecutor, and the police that she was a total and complete liar. The charge was eventually dismissed. Chuck was great at every stage - he calmed me down at the start, he explained everything to me that was going to happen, and he laid out our strategy for me along the way. I can't say enough good things about him. He is the best!

Superb Attorney and held in my highest regard

I have worked in law enforcement so I am very familiar with the legal process and statutes of law. I found myself in an awful situation in May 2011. I was charged with two counts of simple assault against my own sister. She was not the complaining party. It was actually the center for life manage...ment in Derry, NH. One staff member there alleged that I grabbed my sister's wrist and grabbed her cheek in a hostile manner. The other staff member, a nurse, alleged that I grabbed my sister's wrist. Both women twisted and manipulated a story from their own imagination. They failed to admit that I was actually demonstrating self defense techniques with my sister. The police did not interview me or my sister. The local prosecutor asked me to plead guilty to one charge in exchange for dropping another. Of course, I would not do so because the charges should never have been filed. The prosecutor refused to even speak with my sister, the alleged victim, about her version of what occurred. Attorney Keefe instilled my confidence in his abilities to take this matter to trial. He was very cordial and informative throughout the entire process. He returned my phone calls and emails promptly. I was not able to pay the entire retainer up front due to financial constraints and he worked out an agreed upon installment plan. The case recently went to trial. My sister never even had to testify on my behalf. Attorney Keefe was thoroughly prepared to defend me. He showed repeated inconsistencies in both witnesses'(staff members for CLM) testimony. Through his conscientious preparation, Attorney Keefe was able to show that each witness had a different version of what occurred the day in question. After his thorough direct and cross examination, objections when necessary, and skill as an attorney the case was dismissed. I give Attorney Charles Keefe the highest rating possible in all categories. He is a true professional and seasoned attorney. I felt very safe and confident in his ability to defend me.
