Keith is the Best!

I wish there were 10 stars to give to them. Keith and Kevin went above and beyond in handling my case! It was a very hard one with the driver who caused the accident having no insurance and my insurance having limitations. The dedication, time, and effort that was put into getting everything resolved... was second to none. They truly care and were so patient with my many, many questions about the process. Their resolve to not only get this taken care of no matter how long it took truly shown. I can not thank Keith and Kevin enough for everything they did. To say they are the BEST is an understatement!!

Experience

Rating: 9.4 (Superb)

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 1999.

Reprimand issued in MD, 1999

updated on 09/29/2017

Reprimand means the attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The State warns the lawyer in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior. Details of the infraction are made part of the public record.

Keith’s comment:

“I self reported an incident of potential client contact for which I agreed to a reprimand. This occurred 20 years ago.”
