The best lawyer ever

At one of the worst points in my life, Keith was there, and helped me far more than I ever could have expected or hoped for. I honestly don't know what would have happened if it hadn't been for him, I was going through a nasty divorce and fighting to be able to see my son, and faced an uphill battle.... He was there and stood in my corner and helped secure my rights as a father, I honestly can't thank him enough.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
