This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

This attorney is super rude.

My experience with this attorney was a total disappointment.. He was a disrespectful . He was so arrogant that he could not be communicated with. He totally disregarded my input and acted as if was an idiot when I expressed my opinions . I realistically only received helpful advice one time. The res...t was not in my best interest.

This is quite unusual and a first. I do not know who this individual is nor recognize the situation. I believe this person spoke solely with my assistant who handles all of the initial intakes and the caller did not speak directly with me. We declined to represent the caller and did not represent the person. They are apparently disgruntled because we did not feel their situation had any merit or otherwise we were not interested in taking the case.

Best Lawyer in Columbus--and I've had many not so good lawyers

Best lawyer in Columbus. I'm a widely published author and have had to use a NY law firm on occasion., I have also had regular Columbus attorneys help me with local affairs. Keith by far, blew all of these other law firms out of the water. He would get back to me same day, with an email or phone call.... His prices were fair. His assistant was on it. I never once felt swept under the rug and he came on to help on another legal issue that a previous attorney had not handled properly. I would hear from him in reply at 8pm. I would hear from him in reply on july 3rd, Christmas eve, New Years eve. He is always on your case [in a good way] and you feel like he's got your back. I would start with Keith as your go -to guy on any case you have. I just can't say enough good things about this guy. I have consulted with him on custody issues, property issues and contracts. I had a large house that the bank was trying to take. I had spent thousands with two other lawyers to save this home. Keith made a few simple emails to the bank and the bank could not produce the deed--and therefore were not able to move forward in taking the house. He handled the issue working from the top down, instead of the bottom up. The other lawyers were having me go through a lot of paper work and hoop jumping, wanting me to file bankruptcy, etc, and always with more expense being racked up then in one fell swoop, Keith Golden was able to nip it in the bud and take care of it. He's efficient and its kinda like having your own personal guard dog. He has bark and bite. This is why I'm one of his biggest fans.

This is the guy you want if you are looking for honesty and integrity.

I used Keith for a child custody and other domestic issues. He is honest, straight forward, and experienced enough to give excellent advice and provide representation for the situation at hand. Keith responded to my correspondence usually within the same day. It didn't matter if it was a telep...hone call or an email, he was always prompt and accurate in his responses. I have a ton of respect for him and will reccomend him to anyone.

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.
