Exceptional Experience

I had the unfortunate need arise to contact Mr. Vanover for a DUI that my Son received in Okaloosa County. I was blown away by the personable experience he provided to us. He was extremely attentative to our needs, and also has a very caring and extremely helpful staff. Mr. Vanover took this case... on and represented my Son with an excellent outcome. His fee was reasonable and we received the best representation that I feel we could have possibly received. Many thanks to Mr. Vanover and his patient and caring staff for their help in providing quality representation for my Son. Blessings.......

The law is the law

We hired Mr. Vanover based on a referral. My son was being charged with a DUI that we firmly believed was not a true and correct charge. Upon making contact with Mr. Vanover, he listened to all the details and agreed to represent my son believing fully that the law was on his side. Mr. Vanover made n...o attempt to flourish the details or use scripted verbiage to win my son's case. He simply stated the law as it stands in Florida. My son was found not guilty due to the diligence, honesty and preparedness that this law firm stands for. I would like to add that the staff kept us well informed, returned every call promptly and answered any and all emails leaving no questions unanswered. I could not be more pleased and would strongly recommend the Vanover Law Firm if you are in need of fair representation.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I have never been arrested for anything in my life until I got a DUI on Spring Break in Destin. Several people in the local community recommended I contact Vanover Law Firm & thankfully I did. The very moment I called his office the staff was so warm, friendly, & helpful! They set me up a consultati...on with Mr. Vanover that same day, right after he got out of court. I came in & he walked me through the process of a DUI step by step. He was very patient with me in answering all of my many questions & just the fact that he was willing to devote so much time in consulting with me spoke volumes for him! I felt like I and my DUI charge really mattered to him!! He handled every court date for me so I would not have to come back from out of town for any. The offer he was able to get for me was AWESOME!!! Thank you again to Mr. Vanover and his outstanding staff for all that each of you did for me:-) I will continue to recommend Vanover Law Firm to anyone I know that gets a DUI in Destin or the surrounding area.

Keith Vanover is a great DUI lawyer

Hired Keith to fight my DUI. He helped me get a drivers license so i never lost my ability to drive for work. This saved me from losing my job. He handled all the court dates himself. I never had to go to court. Im very satisfied with Mr. Vanovers hard work.

Great DUI lawyer

I got a New Year's Eve DUI. I'm not American and have a hard time with English. Keith had patience in making sure I got it understood. His staff is super helpful.

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.
