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.
