I hired Chuck Keefe to advise me during a very emotionally charged and potentially devastating legal situation. I was very concerned about what was at stake, what I could lose and what I had experienced. Chuck was able to add to our working relationship elements of compassion and understanding to aid... in putting me at ease. Thinking clearer allowed us to use his extensive legal expertise and his well-respected position in the NH legal community to garner the best possible outcome for me given the circumstances. In the end, I still faced legal consequences - all out of Chuck's control. Regardless of the outcome, I would have paid 35% more in a retainer fee. Chuck's fee was more than just his time with me in either his office or in court. That fee opened up access to Chuck's knowledge of the law, his experience with effective defense strategy, his ability to navigate legal hurdles and access to his professional relationships - all of which are invaluable to any client's case.

For a person who had never been arrested in his life to be charged with felony possession of drugs, it was a very scary evening for me. This was probably one of the worst days of my life. After I got home I knew I needed the best attorney I could find in the region so I don't go to jail with a pe...rmanent record of a felon. I searched on the web for attorneys and am grateful to avvo so I could find reviewed lawyers. I found that Attorney Keefe was highly reviewed and was also the president of NH Criminal Defense Attorneys. I called the office and scheduled an appointment for the next Monday. I explained my case to him and I was impressed that he was able to find irregularities in the process of search. I had interviewed another attorney in the morning before and I could tell Chuck was better at looking at all the technicalities. I was pleased that the reviews matched to the actual person so I decided to hire him immediately. I am so glad I made that decision because he was able to get my case dropped by the prosecutor (conditionally). When I was at the arraignment I could tell that he was respected by others and the Judge and clerk etc. I think he is a very smart attorney and I highly recommend him to anyone facing criminal charges.

Attorney Keefe and I have gotten to know each other quite well over the last few years. I have struggled with mental health issues later in life and self medicating seemed to help. I know now that no body is exempt from the disease of addiction. I would have never wished to enter the criminal justice... system, but am grateful indeed for choosing Chuck to hold my hand along the way. He was highly professional, highly skilled and confident not just in the law but in life. Through his tireless commitment to me and my family, Attorney Keefe was able to fight against a very tough County Attorneys office, and an extremely harsh Prosecutors wish of 4-6 years in prison. The judge ruled 1 year in county jail. And Chuck had a motion approved to suspend almost a month off of that! I have been given a second chance in life, and can only hope that Attorney Keefe sees a return on that investment. I would highly recommend Chuck to any and all people who have found themselves struggling with their issues and require legal representation. He is an advocate and a man I'm truly honored to know.
