Absolutely Great Lawyer with Excellent Communication
I hired Travis for a minor criminal case, and he was absolutely great. He never once hesitated to get on the phone with me and explain my multiple options. The case dragged on for over a year, and he did a stellar job representing me and never once tried to nickel or dime me for multiple phone call...

Awesome attorney!
Mr. Keil was a true advocate for me and explained the legal system in a way that I could really understand. He was always available to speak with me (I never talked to his secretary or an associate) and gave me confidence in the legal system again. He did a great job with my case and I would hire him...

Lucky felon
I picked the best lawyer to represent me, I'm glad I chose him,even after my case was done I was involved in another law issue different from what he practices and still follow my case and called him any time I had a question. I appreciated very much and will recommend him.
"Since the day I met Mr. Keil, I have known him to be a dedicated, hardworking, and zealous advocate. He has illustrated an ability to handle extremely complicated criminal trials. I would entrust him with any type of criminal defense matter."
"I endorse this lawyer. Travis is a fantastic attorney and one who knows how to get the job done. His knowledge and dedication are unparalleled. He understands criminal law, and knows the ins and outs of practicing law while making sure that his client's rights are protected. I cannot recommend Travis enough -- he is a terrific lawyer and one you should contact immediately if you need criminal representation."
"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."
"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."
