Posted by Doug | October 01, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Contracts & Agreements

Above and Beyond

I hired Keith Obert to terminate a lease agreement that I felt was in default. He and his staff represented my interest in this matter in a way that was above and beyond my expectations for an attorney. Not only did he execute a Mutual Settlement but also suggested, and was granted, a General Rrel...ease Agreement in order to ensure the matter was closed permanently. He had to work across several states and spend an enormous amount of time dealing with the defendant. As I stated....above and beyond. I know Mr. Obert to be a solid individual who understands the law but also personalized this matter with me to ensure a wrong was righted. Very impressive.

Keith is the Best

If you have problems with Character and Fitness in Mississippi, Keith is the Best! He worked a miracle for me. He treated me with kindness and respect, and he handled my case with the utmost professionalism. Thanks Keith!

Posted by Brad | January 11, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Insurance

EXCELLENT, PROFESSIONAL, KNOWLEDGABLE

He did a great job helping us with our 2 year old daughter when the insurance company would not communicate with us regarding an accident. It was great knowing that he would look after our interest with the insurance company. He kept us informed along the way. I would recommend him anytime that you... need to have your interest protected, Thank you Keith Obert for all your help!!

Posted by Debbie | January 06, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Excellent attorney

I would highly recommend Keith Obert. He was my attorney several years ago for a divorce case. He helped me through the details and technicalities that were involved and included items in the decree that were a benefit for my children as they got older. I am very grateful to him for his help durin...g that difficult time in my life. He is very professional and knowledgeable.

Posted by Joe | January 04, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Legal Defence- legal malpractice

Mr. Obert represented my in a plaintiff in legal malpractice suit. He managed the case through 3 changes in venue, (2 counties and federal), through numerous summary judgement hearing and into MS State Appeals Court where the case is over the course of 4 years.

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.
