Highly professional

Mr. Keyser was very professional in his manner, including prompt explanations and advice regarding my options in the case. He even met with my friends in attendance the day at court. Mr. Keyser seemed calm and courteous, open to suggestions, and thorough in completing the process. I appreciated hi...s flat-rate billing.

Highly competent attorney

I retained Mr. Keyser as my attorney after researching several online and reviewing AVVO reviews. After speaking with him on the phone I felt very comfortable in retaining him. Finding ones self in legal trouble for the first time because of a mistake is mortifying and embarrassing. He always tre...ated me respectfully and with a high degree of professionalism. He provided counsel, honest advice, prompt and thorough communication, and most importantly guidance throughout the process. He negotiated my case to achieve what I considered to be a fair and reasonable outcome. I would not have been able to achieve this outcome without him. I would highly recommend Mr. Keyser as a competent and skilled attorney who treats clients with respect and empathy.

Trustworthy Lawyer

In December 2015 I made an innocent mistake at work where the punishment did not fit the crime. I was falsely accused of serious charges that would affect any future employment opportunities. I found Chris through a lawyer friend and explained the situation to him and Chris listened with empathy. He... was very understanding of the situation and made me feel comfortable. He made me feel like this was just as important to him as it was to me. Chris reassured me and believed in my innocence. We brought the case up to trial but settled before trial took place. Chris got me the outcome I deserved and made me feel confident throughout the whole process.

Obstruction of Legal Process. Actual Client Testimonial.

Chris new what to do regarding the legal accusation against me. I trusted his judgment and his legal ability to represent me. Chris is very professional, and dedicated in representing you. My case was dismissed. I was very happy with the outcome and relieved when it was over. I would retain him again... and recommend him highly if you need legal representation.

The Best Criminal Defense Attorney in the Twin Cities, in my opinion

Chris is the best Criminal Defence lawyer I have ever met. Before I hired him, I had another lawyer who was not so good and I have spoken to few others who were untrustworthy. In my opinion most lawyers over promise and under deliver because they want hype themselves up in order to charge you a lot o...f money. Then they turn around and pressure you to negotiate your innocence with the prosecutor because they are either afraid of losing or they were lying to you in the first place because they are not a trial lawyer. I had a lawyer tell me that she would charge $3000 if I want to go to trial or $2000 to negotiate my case. Really? Negotiate? If I wanted to negotiate, why not do it myself? I am sure you're reading my post because you are looking for an honest, trustworthy, and capable lawyer for a bargain. If that is the case, look no further. I can honestly say this guy is the real deal. He is like Mohamed Ali in the courtroom without boasting about it and most prosecutors have no chance in convicting you if he is in you corner. He will not promise you that you will win your case if you hire him, because no one can predict the outcome of a case in the US legal system, but he will will do exactly what you hire him for without pressuring you to take any deals. I was offered to pay $300 and my case would be dismissed in a year if I didn't commit any crime before the trial started and I turn it down because I am one of those idiots who believes in justice at all cost. I would not suggest you gamble like I did because innocent men and women are constantly found guilty in the US legal system. Lucky for me, both of the charges (disorderly conduct and resisting arrest) were found to be bogus by the jury. I believed I was innocent and the jury agreed with me and I could not have done it without the help of Christopher Wesley Keyser. If you are feeling angry I like did when I was assaulted by a bully with a badge and his security guard friends, then taken to jail and charged with a crime; I suggest you take deep breath, calm yourself down and call Chris. The road to "Not Guilty" will be a lot easier when Chris is in your corner. Trust me. You don't believe me? Go to Chris' website and see the smiling black/Somali guy holding two not "Not Guilty" verdict forms as the proof. Thank you Mr Keyser. To Mrs Keyser, thank you for allowing him to work on my case and prepare me for trial late into the night. Osman H
