He is the man

I hired Keith for an eviction for a tenant that decided not to pay me for 6 months. He is a very good attorney and a great guy. He always responded fast to all my questions and texts. Definitely I would hire him again.

Exceptional Service!

We had an issue with one of our long term tenants and unfortunately it came to eviction. Keith was not only diligent and attentive to all of our needs and concerns, bit also kept great contact with us throughout the entire process. A must hire for any landlord!

Above and beyond!

I hired Keith Dent to help me with my eviction case. I met him on the way out of a courtroom. He had looked on as I was humiliated by the judge as I tried to represent myself. At the time, we were a family on a single income and I did not think I could afford a lawyer to help me. Keith approached me... on my way out of the court room and kindly offered me some advice. I decided to ask him for his card, not thinking I would ever call him. I figured he was just trying to make a quick buck, but I thought I would give him a call anyway. I am so glad I did! Most of us don't trust lawyers or have positive opinions of them, but Keith Dent is truly a class act. He is persistent, personable, knowledgeable and affordable. He has worked with me from start to finish, which has resulted in me recovering a huge sum of money my tenant has owed me. I never thought this day would come, but Keith made it happen. I cannot thank him enough!

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.
