Excellent and swift services!

Mr. Keene helped us prepare our wills, advance directives, and power of attorney documents. We were a bit nervous and intimidated by the idea of doing all of this, but Oliver made everything simple to comprehend. We were given suggestions to simplify the process and identify the areas that needed to ...be covered in our specific circumstance. Since each family is different, he was able to help us pinpoint what was important to us. We highly recommend his services and are truly grateful that we found someone as courteous, knowledgeable and pleasant to work with.

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.
