Competent and Confident lawyer highly recommended

I hired Keith for a drunk and disorderly charge this past summer. He was very competent and ready to handle the situation. I liked his personality and his confidence in and out the courtroom. I would absolutely hire him again anytime I found myself in a situation requiring legal assistance in his fie...lds of practice. The case ended the best it could have possibly ended. Very happy.

Attention to detail. Fair. Great Result.

Charged with OWI for first time. Keith was great in explaining options and in orchestrating a very fair plea deal. I recommend him without reservation for similar offenses. My father is an attorney, and this is what he said of the result, "Wow, what a great deal. I hope you realize what a wond...erful deal you've got with that plea".

In my life, I never imagined I'd need a lawyer!

In the last few years, I’ve had two (criminal and civil) life altering situations that I (family) needed representation from a lawyer, believe me, this is something I never imagined I’d ever need. Mr. Deforge and his staff exceeded all of my expectation on all levels, from information to communicat...ion to making the best decisions based on what we were dealing with. Mr. Deforge pushed the system in the criminal case and achieved a ruling that was out of the normal protocol, record setting! The consulting that Mr. Deforge provided me with in the civil case, protected my future, something that I wasn’t thinking about, as at times we only focus on the immediate because we can’t see clear, as emotions at times cloud our thinking.

Tribal Court

We contacted Keith and explained what paperwork came to us from tribal court. He asked us to fax him all the paperwork to him. He then informed the court that he was representing us and needed to get a convenient date for everyone concerned. When arriving at court the prosecutor presented their case.... Keith presented ours and after the judge reviewed it the case was dismissed.

Criminal defense lawyer | Nov 02

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Keith is an awesome attorney! I have known Keith now for a number of years, and he is a meticulous lawyer who is willing to fight for his clients. It's nearly impossible to find a great lawyer in the UP, but Keith fits the bill. If you're charged with a crime in Michigan north of the bridge, you can put your faith in Mr. DeForge because he's one of the few lawyers up there who is willing to put in the effort that you deserve in your case."

  • 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.
