Hired. Paid. Regretted. Burned

If I could give 0 stars I would. Hired to defend an innocent person no criminal record. Gave all witness names. Contact info to testify. Contacted. None. Spoke with none. Accuser changed story numerous times. Boned that brought up. Pressured into pleading no contest because he didn’t want to bothe...r to go to trial or defend. Innocent life ruined. For 10000 dollars. Innocent ppl. Be afraid. And hire someone who cares and will fight for you and real injustice. And will talk to all your witnesses before scaring you into a plea deal that you shouldn’t have accepted on some thing you never did.

no complaints

I went on the BBB website and look under complaints and found zero...Yes, no one complains about the lawyer firm. Mr. Keatts made me feel very comfortable and I was recommended by my ex-roommate. My roommate saw me online stressing out and just gave me his name. My case was serious not a little slap ...on the hand case, It show me that when I gave him the police report he knew that I had a case and he not scared to take hard cases.

Legal Advice

Mr James Keatts and his staff were very exceptional from the very start. James assured me from the first call that I had nothing else to worry about. On my first meeting James' legal assistant was very professional and help me start the process. When meeting with James, I knew I made the right choi...ce. His legal knowledge is top notch. James assured me that the best possible outcome would happen and he delivered. I don't plan on having to hire him again, but I would In a heartbeat.

James Keatts -- Superb Legal Counsel

Jim Keatts came to me highly recommended, and I quickly realized why. Armed with a wealth of professional experience, he provided me with sound legal guidance at a time when I most needed it. I was most impressed by his willingness to listen, to hear out my concerns before offering advice. Jim is an ...attorney who brings a personal touch to his cases. He never failed to return my phone calls and emails promptly, or otherwise treat me with the utmost respect. I would recommend Jim Keatts to anyone seeking expert legal representation. He is a man of his word, and one to whom I will always be indebted.
