Best attorney in Butler County

Attorney Joseph M. Kecskemethy has represented me (and my family) for many years. He is a first class attorney and genuinely cares about my family and children. He has spent much time (without charge) just talking to me about life and the process. He is not just worried about billable hours. He i...s human. His skills in the court room have been first rate. He is highly respected in the court system and is very professional. I would highly recommend him (and the firm) to anyone. He is an amazing attorney but compassionate at the same time.

TOP notch Attorney!!

Attorney Joe Kecskemethy has been my family attorney for the past 5 years. He is phenomenal and I would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with a divorce and custody litigation. Joe is extremely intelligent, knowledgeable and responsive. Joe tells you like it is, he has been a trusted advisor... and now I would call friend through the many years of working with him. He cares about you well beyond the typical client/attorney relationship.

The Best

The firm, and especially Mr. Kecskemethy, are top notch. His experience, deep knowledge of the letter of the law, but more importantly his humane advice are unique. It is easy to fuel the fire and take advantage of an emotionally charged situation. This firm and Joe do the opposite and have the best ...interest of the client and their family in mind. Thank you!

Exceptional Attorney!

Worked through my divorce with attorney Joe Kecskemethy. He is a very no-nonsense attorney who shoots it straight with you; leaving no stone unturned or option off the table. He is very professional, very thorough, and will ensure that you are treated fairly throughout the entire process. His team... is extremely helpful, highly professional, and very polite as well. His office represented my interests very well and helped me through a very difficult time in my life.

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.
