Hire the best.

We hire Keith to help with a complicated workers compensation case. He was very knowledgeable in this area. His knowledge helped us navigate the difficult nature of the claim. We received the best outcome through mediation. We highly recommend Mr. Obert for any of your personal injury needs.

Best Lawyer!!! Goes Above and Beyond

I met Keith in 2019 after two very traumatic events happened and I didn’t know what to do or how I was going to handle everything I needed to do to ensure myself and my 3 month old daughter were taken care of. My soulmate, my spouse, and the Father of my precious baby girl had just been killed in a ...tragic car accident at No fault of his but by the other driver. I drove an hour and thirty minutes to meet with him and at our initial meeting he was very detailed, confident, reassuring, empathetic and made sure he had everything he needed in order to start the long process and it was a very complicated case in which not many Judges or clients have had. At this first meeting I felt completely comfortable, confident, and knew in my heart that he was genuinely helping me and my daughter and even now, 5 years later, he is the only Lawyer who I consider a friend and someone I can go to if I ever need anything else and he was by my side the entire time throughout the MANY court proceedings which were held in different counties sometimes and he never quit fighting and went above and beyond!!!!! He is honest and dependable and quick to answer his cell phone and texts!!!! My particular case was a probate matter and even the Judge and his staff were impressed with him and his organization at every hearing. He is #1 and you won’t be disappointed ever!!!!!

Settling an estate

The first thing I can say about Mr. Obert is that he handled my case as if I were family!!! He had my best interest in mind in everything he has done for me. Made everything clear to me as I had no idea whatsoever about dealing with an estate! He made it simple and for that I would recommend him and ...his firm to any of my friends or family. After everything was said and done the main thing I liked was that I gained a friend!!!! Great Guy who does awesome work!

An Attorney Who Listens, Cares, & Fights for You

Mr. Obert came to my aid at a time when I felt all alone and lost. He took my case and truly listened to me and heard my thoughts and concerns and needs. He made me feel like a priority, and constantly explained everything happening in great detail so I fully understood the ins & outs of my case an...d even my options. He fought to get the result I had hoped and prayed for, and he did so while communicating with me every step of the way. I cannot say enough about how much this man has meant to this chapter in my life. I will forever be grateful for him, and will forever recommend this kind, intelligent, hard working man to anyone in need. If you are in a situation that scares you or confuses you, I can guarantee you do not have to be scared with Keith Obert - he will fight for you, he will communicate fully with you so that you understand, and he will get you results that can change your life. Thank you Mr. Obert for being so dependable and so kind!

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.
