Custody, Divorce, Spousal support

Bart performed subperbly in my custody, divorce and spousal support cases. All were successfully negotiated which saved me considerable money and spared my children from being forced to participate. He was a steadying force who consistently reminded me to set the emotions aside and focus on the key... matters I was trying to accomplish. And most importantly, we were successful in all three cases!

Pre- nuptial

Mr. Keil took a very personal interest in my situation and made me feel comfortable during the process. He took care to include eveything i requested and make any changes as well.

Very Happy

Bart was the best decision I ever made. I had a child custody battle that lasted for years and was very stressful. Bart was right along my side through it all. He listened to what I was trying to achieve and made it happen. He was very good at always returning my calls and emails. Very professional a...nd very knowledgeable. My husband also used his services and achieved the same results. He was worth every penny and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for representation. I can’t thank him enough for all the hard work he did for us and the results we were able to obtain.

Alimony Adjustment

I am so pleased with the services of Attorney Keil that I would highly recommend him to others. He is very professional, yet personable. His attention to his client and their issues is exceptional and always positive and keeps his client well informed of progress. When the unexpected occurs, he's ...there to handle it and truly has his client's best interest in mind. Attorney Keil has met and exceeded my expectations in this matter and I would select him again in a heartbeat. My choice to use his services was based on other lawyers opinions of him and they were all high and the attorney's ratings were accurate. You will not be disappointed if you choose Mr. Keil to represent you.

Alimony Adjustment

I chose Mr. Keil to represent me based on his high ratings received from other lawyers. He did not disappoint me. The case is ended and I am extremely satisfied with the results. Mr. Keil is professional yet personable. He reviewed my documents, created a plan, executed the plan, submitted paperw...ork on my behalf to receive benefits, and was tolerant in his dealings with an unresponsive attorney. His office staff was helpful and polite. Mr. Keil, thank you for all the hard work and effort on my behalf. If you choose Mr. Keil, you will not be disappointed, he will do all he can to see that you receive favorable results.

  • 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.
