The Go To Lawyer!

Mr. O'Keefe was an excellent choice for a lawyer. I really got lucky that he was available to take my case. Had a DV case that he ultimately got dismissed with no stipulations; records sealed. Which was due to the hard work and due diligence he took handling the case, even when the DA tried to muddy ...the waters and drag things out. He's very conscious about your time and money; does not waste either. Straight forward honest man with a really good personality. Hopefully i never get in trouble again but i would absolutely hire him again. Trustworthy and easy to work with. Thanks Tim!

Results as Promised

I brought Tim a situation with low chances of a good outcome. Tim told me that he would fight to get even more than I wanted. With his hard work, we got the resolution we wanted and even removed lots of extra fees and expenses from the judgement. Thank you Tim for all your hard work and good comm...unication over the last couple of months to get this resolved.

Utmost Professionalism, Inconclusive Outcome

Having suffered severe injustice at an airline in bankruptcy, I came to understand the value of legal representation in the earliest stages of difficulties. As a Legal Shield member since January 2017, I have relied on a number of attorneys on several occasions. This time, a condo building neig...hbor violated me publicly. I consulted with a criminal defense attorney who analyzed my case and assured me I was not in trouble. Unfortunately, the neighbor later escalated his violations to a point where this attorney referred me to Tim O'Keefe. Tim explained legal procedure and analysis in the detail only learned through experience. It is important to state that even though I could have found information on courthouse websites (had I known to go to them), I would have never been able to navigate the process myself. I did not know how to evaluate alternative courses of action or what they were. We decided on a civil protective order. Tim helped me complete the relevant paperwork, accompanied me to the courthouse, and we both handed it to the correct clerk. A judge looked it over privately and denied, to my dismay. I am now completely convinced that DIY'ing legal representation is a fool's errand. There are so many variables in our legal system that even retaining an attorney is not a guarantee of a certain outcome. Eventually, I had to close my case to avoid throwing good money after bad. My situation has been part of ongoing difficulty for the past 20-plus years; I am confident that justice will one day be served. Tim's acumen, manner, and experience are impressive. Five-star efforts did everything they could. My hope is that I don't have to return but I certainly would if ever needed.

Fights Hard for your Family!!!

Mr. Timothy O'Keefe represented our family member resulting in the felony charges being reduced to diversion. I highly endorse Mr. O'Keefe. To with, he kept us abreast frequently and comprehensively of the process, our options and the best course of action to take. Timothy leveraged his expertise ...and adept sleuthing skills to show to the prosecution that there was no evidence of the alleged crime. His dogged nature and diplomacy with the prosecuting attorney led to an ideal outcome and a better future for our family member. I strongly recommend Timothy O'Keefe. He seemed to be a man of integrity with a hard work ethic. I can't speak for any of the trolls online who say; otherwise, but my personal experience with him has been nothing short of stellar and worthy of our investment. Invest in Timothy's expertise - you will be repaid in spades!
