Keith Alan Royal

I have used Keith for the past 10 years off and on. He has always produced excellent results. He is professional, and very knowledgeable as well as easy to talk to. He has even talked me out of retaining him if he felt i didn't have enough to push a contempt or modification of custody. I can't say e...nough for what he has done for my family and my daughter.

Keith helped me in so many ways I can not list them all . I spent thousands of dollars on worthless council in the area before I found him. He knows the laws and how they apply to both parties. He stays on top of the case, informs you of the status of findings and unlike others calls you and answers ...the phone! He also utilizes the staff of his law firm in many ways to keep his costs down. Keith knows his clients, what they are going through and that it's not an easy road to go down a lone. You will not regret using his firm.

I hired Mr. Royal based on the recommendation of a co-worker. I specifically asked for "a very good, very ruthless lawyer" and, if I could, would thank her everyday for the recommendation. I had prior dealings with an attorney who did little for me other than draft paperwork, decide for me that med...iation was the best option, and set up for me a child support obligation that was approximately 25% of my income. Unlike my prior experiences, Mr. Royal immediately took an aggressive approach to my case in response to my needs regarding my custody situation. While he does not come cheap, I would still say his rates were comparable to others I contacted. It took me a while to accept the realization that I was not Mr. Royal's main priority everyday. Sometimes, he was not available when I needed to talk about my case, but he would call or email me in a timely manner, with any information I may have needed. He also explained to me the concept of 'billable hours' and how it pertains to the potentially expensive cost of legal representation. Mr. Royal and his associate prepared me for my court date. To no fault of Mr. Royal's, the outcome of my case was not exactly as I had hoped; but I left the courtroom in a much better state than I was when I entered it. While I would have preferred a more favorable ruling, I do understand a lawyer, including Mr. Royal, is no miracle-worker and was satisfied with the ruling.

I hired Keith when I was broken, hurting and angry after spending 5 years doing all I could to make my 25 year marriage work. I never thought I would get divorced but it was time, my husband had moved on. Keith advised me with compassion and knowledge. He explained the advantages of filing instead o...f waiting for my then husband to file. Then he spent a lot of time with me making sure he understood my situation and desires. I am so glad I had him and his assistant Kelly to walk with me thru the year long process of my divorce. (Unfortunately, my ex dragged it out). During that year, Keith was available to answer all my questions and explain all my options. He always called me back promptly and responded within 24 hours to any email correspondence. With Keith on my case, I could go about the business of building a new life without worrying, knowing all the details were getting taken care of. He was my support and advocate thru the difficult process of mediation. He helped me fight when I had no fight left. When I got tired and wanted to settle for much less alimony then I needed to survive, he fought for me and I ultimately got a great settlement. I am so thankful he did! I have been divorced for a year now and my ex-husband has not complied with some of the items in the settlement. After my many attempts to kindly ask him to comply have failed, Keith is back fighting for me again. It is wonderful to have an attorney who not only is a master at his craft but is compassionate and caring toward me! I would highly recommend Keith if you have to go thru the emotionally and mentally draining process of divorce.
