Great lawyer

My disabled son was in serious trouble. Bob worked hard and got all the charges dismissed! Unbelievable!

Only call you need to make

As confusing and frightening as the criminal justice process can be, you need a fighter with the level of expertise and reputation as Robert Keller. My case was a PAC 4th and after difficulty achieving a more favorable outcome with my previous attorney (the “deal” we were offered was 3 years priso...n and probation), a family friend referred me to Mr. Keller. I immediately felt at ease and that my case was in the right hands after our first conversation. Mr. Keller asks questions and listens as much as he is diligent in examining the case to clearly outline the process and possible challenges and outcomes. He kept me informed every step of the way and I felt my chances for an acquittal or dismissal were very good. And that’s exactly what he delivered. Within a month, my case was dismissed and I was able to move forward with my life. You need not call anyone else if you need a skilled criminal defense lawyer with the demeanor of a wise and trusted family friend.

Phenomenal attorney

I hired attorney Keller to represent me for a pretty serious charge. He did an amazing job! Very quick responses and checked in with me often and kept me well informed. He absolutely cares about his clients. Negotiated a better outcome than I could have imagined. Hands down, one of if not the best at...torneys in SE Wisconsin.

Great Attorney

Promises mean everything and Robert Keller holds that belief! I would recommend Mr. Keller to anyone that needs his expertise. I am left with great feelings after my case closed.

Sexual assault of a child charge

I was accused of touching and kissing a female by the age of 15 against her will which resulted in a felony charge of sexual assault of a child. Mr. Keller got that charge reduced to a disorderly conduct and $500 fine. He did an excellent job and I would recommend him.

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.
