Just kept dragging on, not proactive, more worried about golf game...

Handled my divorce case that ended up lasting 10 months. He, nor my ex's attorney were proactive at all. I swear they were trying to see who could run up their bill more! Asked the same questions multiple times, took forever to respond and was always on vacation. I thought that it would get handl...ed swiftly since I knew him, but I was beyond wrong. I not only took a hit in the divorce, I took a 5 figure hit in the wallet too! Look elsewhere unless you have time and money to waste...

I have only recently been made aware of this issue. It is part of my firm's general philosophy to resolve cases as quickly and as expeditiously as possible, exercising the highest legal and ethical standards, and within the parameters of the court's procedures and schedules, the cooperation and reasonableness of the client, opposing party and opposing counsel. Our goal is to always obtain the best possible result for the benefit of the client whether it be through trial or a negotiated settlement. Clients are always kept up to date with the status of their case and all the decisions affecting the client are made only after full consultation and discussion with the client. We realize how important it is in these types of cases for the client to have a full understanding of these critical issues affecting them and their children, the decisions to be made regarding the satisfactory resolution of those issues, as well as the short term and long term impact the final resolution will have on them and their children. As a result, we have had very few complaints from among the thousands of clients we have been proud to serve over the years. I am always willing to discuss these matters with you personally to clear up any remaining questions you may have.

stay away

This attorney is truly about himself (his pockets) and not the best interest for his clients. I paid almost $20,000 for a divorce, which was final the first of 2013, i'm currently still fighting for somethings that wasn't completed at the time of finalization, such as ex-husband walking with 6 figure...s in his pocket, i receive nothing, i had proof of my ex-husbad's adultery which wasn't use for my divorce case, i wasn't given the opportunity to receive alimony.

I have only recently been made aware of this issue. My lawyers and staff pride themselves on providing all of our clients excellent legal representation, and I believe we have done so, particularly given the thousands of satisfied clients we have had the privilege to represent over the years. No case, including this one, gets settled unless and until the client has been fully apprised of all terms, fully understands those terms and agrees to those terms. As a result, we have had very few client complaints in my practice. I am, as always, more than happy to have a direct conversation with the client to answer any questions he or she may have about his or her case.

Goes above and beyond!

Prior to meeting with Keith, I met with another Attorney, whose fees were much higher, and who gave me a much bleaker outcome. Keith on the other and, consistently counseled me as to the less expensive choices throughout my case. Several times I wanted to settle and take the easier way out. Keith wi...sely counseled me on what he thought we could attain if I continued forward. Today, I am so thankful for his foresight. I am also thankful for his patience and encouragement with me, while he was also a bulldog to the other side when it was very needed. Keith determined that a Forensic Accountant was needed to give him accurate information regarding the vast amount and complicated financial accounts invoked. Once again, this was invaluable in obtaining the best possible outcome for me. Keith has been the best of the best for me.

truthful, responsible, dependable!

I hired Keith Royal to represent me in my divorce in 2011. Mr. Royal guided me through every step of this difficult process with extreme professionalism and more personal attention than I could have ever imagined. My divorce was contested, emotional and very bitter. However, Mr. Royal was able to ...negotiate effectively on my behalf and bring the case to swift and very acceptable conclusion. He was able to negotiate in such a manner to keep my case out of the courtroom, saving me the cost of additional legal fees, and for this I am extremely grateful. Keith Royal is a good man, and a very good attorney. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Great Attorney!

I have been a paralegal for 25 years and have met a lot of lawyers in that time who practice in the field of family law. My dealings with Mr. Royal have always been positive and professional. When it came time for my own son to utilize the services of an attorney, the first attorney I called was M...r. Royal. I had seen for myself the results he gets for his clients and wanted him on my son's side! Mr. Royal handled my son's divorce several years ago. He knew my son had limited funds, as did his then wife. He handled the divorce for a very reasonable amount of money and my son was divorced in less than three months with agreed upon terms. He did exactly what he said he was going to do regarding my son's divorce case and was very professional throughout the case. It was very easy to get in direct contact with him and he was good in that he took the time to speak with my son numerous times during the divorce process to answer any questions my son had. Two years later he handled my son's custody modification action. Again, Mr. Royal handled the case for a reasonable amount of money and was very helpful throughout the entire process. He kept my son informed every step of the way and again and he was very good about returning phone calls and/or e-mails to him regarding the case. My son was able to get a very favorable result as a direct result of Mr. Royal's expertise and professionalism. In April of 2014 my son found himself in a family violence situation involving my granddaughter. As family violence actions move very quickly through the system my son needed a lawyer to go with him to court 3 weeks after the action was filed and was very apprehensive and nervous about the process itself. Mr. Royal explained what would happen at court in great detail which eased my son's nervousness. They went to court and came out with an amazing result in my son's favor! Mr. Royal really helped us in making sure my granddaughter was safe!
