Great Attorney!!

Attorney Keith has represented me multiple times over a 12 year period. His effectiveness was undeniable every time. DUI, ten driving under suspensions , multiple failure to appears within ten months and on the last dus I only received very little house arrest. Recently I was indicted on a felony ...in portage county. Only because of Mr. Keith, the felony charge was dropped to a misdemeanor. “Thank you! Again” His fees are fair. He has been understanding and patient. I wasn’t able to get payment to office before I had court he still represented me. I have refereed George Keith to friends and strangers for traffic court to major felony charges each person was greatful for the out come of there case.

My federal case

When I was arrested for felon in possession of ammunition and charged federally me not my family knew what to do. This was all very new to all of us. I was given George's name by a friend an man was it a life saver. I still ended up doing 21 months but that's because of my past criminal history. He w...as able to get two felonies knocked off my my criminal history which took away points for sentencing since everything federal is on a point system. Hank came to see me every two weeks even if there wasn't anything new to tell me he just wanted to see how I was and where my head was at. He is an AMAZING attorney and now I can call him a friend! Thanks George for all you did for me an my family I won't squander this and be needing your services again lol.

Professional and effective attorney

If you are in need of criminal defense, you are in need of George Keith. He is vastly knowledgeable in the inner workings of the justice system. Experienced, dedicated and empathetic, he will do his best to defend your case, and make you feel you have someone in your corner. He may seem quiet and res...erved upon first meeting, but make no mistake, his voice raises when it needs to and his points are made clearly. He advised me of the risks, but always maintained he would fight for me until the end. I believe I received the best possible scenario for my situation, because of the legal representation of George.

This guy is the worst! Don’t hire him!

George will return your calls, but he never has anything together. Just walk into his office- that’ll explain where he’s at in his mind. It’s a complete disaster. He was supposed to find out several things pertaining my case & he failed. For one- my vehicle was immobilized & was supposed to be for on...ly 45days. I asked him specifically about having that taking off & he was supposed to check into it. He didn’t. Instead, he gave me some rant about “ohhh it’s the Ohio law, it has to be on for 90days!” WRONG! Judge couldn’t believe I was still paying for a club on my vehicle & that I had gone an extra month with that on! For 2- He is not a “voice”- in fact they call him “whispering George.” He talks about other peoples situations (very unprofessional) rather than yours- giving example after example. He does poorly with doing what he says he’s going to do. I was referred to him from a good friend that used him many years ago. He may have been good back then but this man needs to retire because it’s obvious he’s tired at what he does. Lastly, he was my ride to & from court. I was ordered to the probation department to get that going & was told it may take up to a half hour. George claims his “daughter has an emergency” & hands me money for an Uber! Here I am, almost an hour away from home, in another county wondering when I can get picked up & taken home! The bailiff of the court room couldn’t even believe what he witnessed. The crazy part to all of this is that I hired this guy & paid him $2500 in FULL! This is the worst guy to waste your money on- I promise!

A very effective and caring attorney!

As a mental health and chemical dependency counselor I have worked with George Keith and many of his clients over the past 20+ years. George is incredibly perceptive about the dynamics of peoples lives and he is impeccably informed about the law and our judicial system. He employs his perception an...d skills to not only provide the best defense for his clients but goes beyond to do his best to improve their lives - and often does exactly that.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I needed a lawyer in Portage County for the son of a client who was charged with a drug offense, which included a mandatory prison term of between two and eight years. My client had unwittingly hired a lawyer for his son who was unqualified and made this bad situation significantly worse. I contacted George. He took over the case, undid the damage and worked out a resolution where the young man served a period of probation without any incarceration and will soon be eligible to have the case records sealed."
