Keith Oliver = GOLD

From the moment that Mr. Oliver interrupted my frantic online search...for a NJ Attorney....to he argued my sons in person appearance with him...and successfully got him “time served” as his sentence....Keith stood by my side. My case...was a bit “different” because my son and I...are not NJ resident...s!! Briefly...our case was a little different!! As I surfed the web...as any mother would to defend her child.....Mr. Oliver intervened...while I was online checking out his reviews...and he was “talking that talk!!” Never made me any promises....in our live chat... but based on his energy...I felt connected!! Early the next morning (we connected via chat well after midnight)....he called me directly....and the rest...is history!! This is the 1st review...that I’ve ever written...but I feel compelled to advise...even when its a difficult situation...OLIVER GOT YOU!! Please excuse any typos in this review...or if I’ve used the wrong tense of a word!! I’m enjoying my son’s freedom...and he advised me to also include in this review...that while in custody...in court...he was questioned as to his Attorney’s name. As opposed to saying his name....he referred to Mr. Oliver....as.... “THE BEST DRESSED ATTORNEY IN THE COURT ROOM!!” Immediately.... they KNEW...who his attorney was!! Still trying to keep this brief......Attorney Oliver brought both professionalism and knowledge (with SWAG) coupled with intelligence of laws...to his case!! Through it all...I’m still able to celebrate....with GIFTS...the up coming Holiday Season...with my Son!! Always communicated with me (even though I was out of town) I honestly feel like...Keith Oliver....was sent to me....#SpecialDelivery!!

Amazing lawyer!!

He has helped me so much through my case. I asked him so many questions and he never left me without an answer. He never left me in the dark he was on top of everything. He got the best outcome for my case and I couldn’t picture my case any other way without him. Highly recommending this lawyer!!

Keith recently handled a case for me and did a fantastic job. I am from out of town and he went above and beyond to get things taken care of. He kept me well informed as things progressed, and was always very professional. Very very happy with my representation from Keith.

Keith is there any time you need him!

During the very upsetting and difficult time when you face legal charges, you absolutely need the right attorney. After speaking with three unimpressive prospects and even paying one attorney a ridiculously high retainer for 1 phone call and a nasty attitude, I felt lost. Thank God I came to my sense...s and demanded my money back. Of course I was scared to death about what to do next and then we found Keith. He is with you every step of the way and always keeps​ in contact to get you through the process. Keith is fairly priced, professional, and the kind of attorney you want in your corner! Thanks for everything Keith!!!

Best lawyer you can find!!

Keith Oliver was the best lawyer that could've handled my case. He was very understanding of my situation from the beginning and helped to keep me cool, calm, and relaxed. Although the charges I was facing were very serious and scary to think about, Keith put his best foot forward and made sure every...thing worked out the best extent. Couldn't have hired anyone that would've exceeded my expectations such as Keith Oliver. He will help you and will keep your family calm throughout the process as a lot of nerves tend to take over the best of us. All in all, if there were 100 stars he could've gotten on this review, he would deserve every single one and more. Seriously the best best lawyer around. Don't think twice about hiring him. If you feel worried, uncomfortable, anxious, nervous, or intimidated by your charges, talk to Keith and he will find a way. Thank you Keith for all of your amazing work that helped me and my family get through this difficult time. We all appreciate your hard work and constant contact with us to make sure we felt comfortable at all times. Truly a blessing from God!!

Relationship: Co-worker

"I happily endorse this attorney. I have known Keith for several years and I have had the pleasure of working with him at the same law firm in the past and now again in the present. The fact that he made partner at one of the largest criminal & DWI defense firms in New Jersey at the age of 30 is just a testament to how much of a workhorse this guy is. The main focus of Keith's practice is centered around defending indictable (felony) crimes and he takes a lot of pride in his work and makes sure his clients are kept apprised during all stages of the court process and representation."
