Absolute Best

Keith has been representing me on a civil matter since 2018. He listens to you and makes decisions best for you. He works for you and not trying to just fill his pockets with money like other attorneys I know. He is best described as a “bulldog” in court. He doesn’t take anything from the opposin...g side. He does what’s in your best interest and will fight until there are no other options in your case. He talks to you after hours, something a lot of attorneys will not do. He doesn’t just work 8 or 9-5 hours. He works tirelessly for you. Keith and I have become close over the last several years and I’m proud to call him my friend. He has morals, character, and does what is right. I may not always want to do what he recommends, but in the end…it is sound advice. Don’t tell him I said that. Plus he’s a heck of a grill/bbq master.

Excellent Attorney - Do Not Hesitate To Hire Him

If you have any bar issues in MS or if you are unable to get admitted to the bar due to character issues then look no further than Keith D. Obert. He is the best man for the job. Not only that but he will go above and beyond the call of duty for his client's. I would not hesitate to hire him again.

Posted by Melissa | January 25, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Compassionate, knowledgeable, excellent

I would definitely recommend the Obert law group to anyone looking for a great attorney. Keith and his team are very compassionate about their work. Keith helped us to settle our case without having to go to court. He communicated with me frequently any updates. Without his knowledge and expertis...e we did not know if we even had a case. If you have questions of whether or not you need an attorney, call Keith Obert. His team is there for you!

Most committed legal representation possible

The Obert firm represented me in a time consuming matter involving complex business issues. The level of commitment to me and my case was both stunning and gratifying. Ali through the process, including the trial they performed as if my case was the most important case they had. In fact, their attent...ion to detail was stunning and in the end made all the difference. I walked out of court with the feeling that my case and it’s outcome was personal. If someone needs an advocate who will actually represent their interests with total commitment, this is the firm for them.

Posted by Jana | October 02, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Contracts & Agreements

Completely Satisfied

Mr, Obert and his team helped me with a very small contract (lease agreement) case. I say small because the monetary amount was not a big sum, but the worry and hassle Keith saved me was priceless. He treated my case just as he would the “big ones.” I appreciate his knowledge, time, and commitment. ...I am completely satisfied with his work and very pleased with the outcome he was able to get.

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.
