Everything you want in a lawyer and more!

I have used Keith on numerous cases and have always been very pleased. He understands his clients needs and was always available to answer any questions I had. He is always willing to spend the time that is needed to achieve the results of his clients. He is realistic, open, and a lawyer that you ...want on your side. He does not shy away from putting forth the time needed to win a case. I would recommend him to anyone in the public safety industry.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
