This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Recommendation for Roland Keske

Roland is very knowledgeable, bright and responsive. He defended our company when we were blindsided with a TCPA lawsuit. In this case the law overwhelmingly favored the Plaintiff, and Roland engineered a defense strategy that yielded a settlement payout that was a small fraction of what the Plain...tiff could have been awarded in court. We were very pleased with the settlement.

Excellent legal services ! Far better than I would have expected from an atorney representing an insurance company. Efficient, intelligent, responsive and caring about me, the client. Would recommend Mr. Keske to any friends. A terrific young man, I was very well represented.
