"I endorse this lawyer. Why? Mr. O'Keefe's answers are accurate and also detailed . If you are seeking an attorney you should want to know you are taken care of by an attorney carefully providing accurate advice and this attorneys answers demonstrate he knows in fact bankruptcy law. As a result, meet with him and call him when you want accurate advice. Even if you already met with an attorney, obtain a second opinion if Kurt is near you is my advice and then decide: Who are you most comfortable with? Good luck."

Seriously, I have learned a lot from Kurt on our organization's listserv and in our personal conversations, so I can easily endorse Kurt's professionalism and knowledge. He's totally committed to helping his clients and his colleagues."
"I have known Kurt for years. We first met at a NACBA convention in 2004 and quickly became friends. I have relied on Kurt for advice in my own practice and have found his knowledge and generosity to be an asset to my small cadre of friends and my practice. His contributions as an active member and speaker at several NACBA conventions have clearly established him as an attorney at the top of his game.
