John Stephen Keffer

I am extremely grateful for the exceptional legal services provided by Mr. Keffer and the Keffer Law Firm. From the very beginning, Mr. Keffer demonstrated a deep understanding of family law and approached my case with professionalism and compassion. His expertise, attention to detail, and consistent... communication made a challenging and emotional process much easier to navigate. Mr. Keffer took the time to listen to my concerns, explain my options clearly, and always advocated strongly for my best interests. Thanks to his hard work, I felt confident and supported every step of the way. I highly recommend Mr. Keffer and the Keffer Law Firm to anyone in need of a skilled and dedicated custody lawyer.

Hired Mr. Keffer to represent me in a custody hearing for my son. Before hiring him he talked a big game and after being retained as my attorney he quickly changed his tune. Refuses to answer or return phone calls and very disrespectful when spoken to. Eventually had to retain another attorney to acc...ompany me to my custody trial after Mr. Keffer walked out on me in the middle of a mediation hearing with my child’s mother. Would not recommend to my worst enemy and will be filing a complaint with the SC BAR association.

I hired John for a divorce and child custody lawyer. My ex wife and I are both active duty military and after or even during the divorce one of us could get orders and leave the state. From the beginning he has let me down. He submitted court documentation in the wrong format that wasn't considere...d for the trial due to his incorrect format. While he was my lawyer he very seldome returned my calls and I have several emails that went unanswered. He told me he would handle matters he never addressed and had me agree to false terms. He recommended I give up custody of my daughter when I told him she was the only thing I care about. I did give up custody because that's what he said to do. John said we could go back to court and change custody later. I didn't find out until later I would have to pay for both lawyers and a new guardian ad litem to re-enguage for joint custody. I told him about many matters that were time sensitive and he let them all come overdue. He miscalculated my child support and never told me the price I would be paying until I received the bill. I informed him of my 365 day deployment and requested my child support be recalculated and seven months later it is still is not done. On my 365 deployment my ex wife got orders to anotger state and relocated. While on R&R he lied to my face and said we had six months until her new state would pick up jurisdiction. I re-addressed my requests and he sent them to her lawyer and made clames that we would take her to court if she dosent agree. One month in he hasn't returned any emails until I engaged with him about them and his paralegal always responds. This time she responded look for a lawyer when I return from my deployment they don't have jurisdiction over the case one month after he told me we had six months. I would not recommend John keffer to anyone and will be looking into reporting him to the SC BAR and also seeing if I have a case for legal action on how he represented me and the how he advised me in my case. Please contact me if you have any questions. I don't want my name used until I have more detail from the bar.
