I'm very grateful that I found Keith ...

Keith handled my case to a very successful outcome. When I initially reached out to him, I was very anxious. He was a great listener and immediately put my mind at ease. He was informative and super responsive throughout the process. He was supremely confident in what we would be able to achieve,... and he delivered. I highly recommend Keith!

Best Criminal Lawyer in NJ!

Keith Oliver is an excellent lawyer who cares for his clients. As soon as I placed a request online for some questions about my case, he immediately texted me back while I was at work during my nightshift and we had a conversation on what to expect going forward. Right there I knew that he was the ...right lawyer for the job. He could of just waited until the next day or two to call me back, yet because of his responsiveness to my situation, I hired him. He stuck by my side through the long drawn out process which was out of our control. Whether your situation is big or small, Keith will fight tooth and nail for you. His straight to the point attitude and aggressive nature will ease your mind knowing that you hired the right lawyer for your particular situation. Give him a chance and call him, you won't be disappointed. Keith is a great lawyer. He's my super lawyer! Google him and you will see his background of accomplishments and achievements. Hopefully I won't get into a situation like this again, but if I do you are number one on my contact list. Thanks for being by my side for two and a half years. Until next time my freind and best wishes for success at your firm.

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."
