Go elsewhere!

I hired Charles Kee to represent me in a criminal grand larceny case, and unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing. His communication was inconsistent and often confusing — he gave me conflicting information at critical points in my case. He failed to challenge any of the D.A.’s evide...nce or statements, and made no real effort to advocate for me in court. Mr. Kee regularly arrived late and unprepared, and it was clear that he lacked any real courtroom presence. It felt like no one — not the judge, not the D.A., not even court staff — took him seriously. At times, it seemed like he was more focused on his appearance than the outcome of my case. His argument to keep me out of prison was weak and unpersuasive. The only thing he did reasonably well was assist in negotiating restitution. That said, I would strongly advise anyone in need of competent legal representation to look elsewhere.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
