I Recommend This Lawyer

Things work out sometimes. I was expecting the worst case scenario, but with Keith's help things were mitigated. Even though it felt like an injustice, at least I Keith prepared me for the possibilities. It was good knowing that someone was on your side - the whole thing was insane. If Keith hadn't ...have been there letting me how thing worked and what to expect. Thanks for your help. I recommend that you use Keith Vanover if you ever need a good DWI attorney.

Won my drivers license back.

I hired Keith because I was impressed with his passion for DUI cases. His staff kept me informed and allowed me to understand what was going on and when. I would recommend Keith for any DUI case. I did not get a reckless in my case but I was at peace with that once I understood the case.

Best attorney i ever had

If you get a DUI, this is you guy! Not only was I updated about my case at all times, Keith was so helpful and made me feel like I was going to be able to put this all behind me. I didn’t know what to do, the whole ordeal was overwhelming and scary. My friend looked up DUI defense lawyers, and Keith ...Vanover was at the top with over 2,000 dui cases, we made the call and I am glad we did. The whole process was easy, from the consultation to the court date, he walked me through the whole process. My DUI charge was dropped, so I couldn’t ask for more. On top of it all, he was very affordable. Great guy!

Got me a reckless driving

I contacted Keith after several people recommended him for DUI defense. I appreciated his candor and honesty about my case. He didn't make blustery statements. He laid out the law and went over my case so that understood how we were going to handle the case. He allowed me to pay over a payment plan w...hich really helped. His staff was ultra nice. Never felt rushed. He ended up getting me a reduced charge which saved my drivers license. I would recommend his services to anyone charged with a DUI.

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.
