Successfully defended against sexual assault charge

We Hired Keith to represent my son who was wrongfully accused of a sexual assault.Not only were we delighted with the outcome I was extremely impressed with the personal attention he gave us threw the complete process. From start to finish everytime I reached out with a question Kieth would pick up t...he phone and be there for us anytime of the day.

A Champion For A Struggling Addict

Keith was outstanding in every manner especially with communication on what was going on in a complicated VOP case for me while I was out of state seeking treatment. Keith is a champion for the addict looking to get help instead of incarceration. If your looking for an expert to help you navigate the... court room in a drug or alcohol case, whether it is your first or fourteenth time Keith is your guy. He genuinely cares about your recovery and was able to get me an arrangement that both satisfied the courts and made sense for my ongoing sobriety. I honestly could not have been happier with his services.

Excellent Representation

Although one of us is an active lawyer herself, we needed an attorney familiar with the Bergen County court system to represent our 20 year-old son on a minor (and stupid) marijuana possession charge. After an extensive review of northern NJ attorneys, Keith's credentials for our needs stood out; hi...s background and accumulated experience were most impressive. After retaining him, we soon knew we had made the correct choice. Not only did we find him to be thorough in all ways, but he was generous with his time (with both us and our son) for consultation and strategy conferences, never making any of us ever feel as if he was rushed...even though we knew we were consuming a lot of his time for our "set fee" financial arrangement. His goal was only to do what was best for our son, while at the same time realizing the gross procedural errors made by the police in arresting him. Keith's courtroom instincts always seemed right on target, and there was never even a hint of "showboating." We would have written this same review even if he had fallen short of the ideal outcome of getting the charges dismissed...but we are particularly grateful that he was able to. We recommend him unequivocally.

Excellent Attorney

When I found myself facing a serious charge, my family and I searched online for an attorney we thought could effectively represent me. After speaking with several attorneys including Mr. Oliver, we all agreed on Mr. Oliver as we felt very comfortable with his initial evaluation and recommendations o...n how to proceed on my behalf. He took immediate action and had my initial court appearance, scheduled for the next day, postponed until we could sit down and come up with a plan on how to proceed. Mr. Oliver is very intelligent and experienced. He is a former prosecutor which I felt was to my advantage as he knows the "ropes" on both sides. He made me feel confident from the start that I would be in good hands. Mr. Oliver was able to obtain the best possible outcome for my case. He kept me informed every step of the way during the one year it took for my case to be resolved. Many thanks to this fine young attorney!

Grateful Aunt

I don't know where to begin. One Sunday our nephew came to us upset and frightened. He had made a bad decision while in NJ with friends and was in trouble. It seemed that he was going to be made an example of in the system and he had no idea what he had gotten himself into. He had just turned 18 ...and was scared to death and so were we. It was 8:30pm when after researching lawyers on line I called Keith Oliver. I left a message and thought I would get a call the next day or so - really - in 15 minutes my phone rang and it was Keith Oliver. He talked to me for 45 minutes and told me what he would need. He took notes and by mid-day Monday it began. He contacted and worked with the right people to take this mistake from Superior Court to Municipal Court. He saved our nephew's future. We are going to court and have no doubt of his ability. He keeps in contact with me - has a plan for our nephew's future. He is forthright, honest and direct. There are no games with this man. He knows what he is doing and gets right to it. His office staff - Karen & Samantha - are wonderful. They take your calls, answer your questions and get back to you promptly. We made the right choice with Keith - he is giving our nephew a new start and a quick education in decision making!!! Thank you Keith - you have been a true God send. We are so grateful!!!

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."
