This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Poor Advocacy.

I have paid Travis close to 6 grand for criminal charges that have been redundant from the courts for violation of harassment restraining orders. Travis was not a great advocate and did not make me feel comfortable with him as my representative. He painted his own character of me and treated me as gu...ilty throughout the whole process, and everything he told me has not been factual. He has gotten mad when I asked relevant questions and has used the 'I've been busy with trial' excuse multiple times when consulting about my case. He's very microaggressive and will do anything to make sure he proves his point if you question his advocacy as your lawyer. We have now reached a mutual agreement for him no longer to represent me after he rudely hung up the phone on me because he thought I was trying to blame him for something I already pleaded guilty to and have taken full accountability for. Definitely look further than Travis if you want advocacy that treats you like a human rather than a criminal throughout your whole case.

Mr.

Thoroughly enjoyed working with Travis to resolve an issue. His understanding of the legal system and its processes proved to be very beneficial. He worked with the Courts to resolve the matter in a timely fashion and kept you informed throughout the proceedings. Would definitely work with him aga...in and highly recommend him to anyone.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I highly recommend Mr. Keil for any criminal legal matter. I have watched him use his superior legal knowledge in tandem with his impressive people skills to win acquittal for his client. If every defense attorney displayed his level of strategic and tactical creativity, the people of Minnesota would be very well served."

Criminal defense lawyer | Aug 28

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Mr. Keil’s tenacity in the courtroom is unparalleled in the legal community. I have witnessed him fight for his clients and obtain great results. We have worked together on several criminal matters, including Attempted 1st Degree Premeditated Murder. His legal acumen has helped numerous clients walk away with dismissals, acquittals, and plea agreements that other attorneys would be hard pressed to obtain. I have been in the legal profession for over 20 years and have witnessed very few attorneys who possess the legal skills that Mr. Keil has. He is highly recommended."
