Pretty good attorney!!!

Keith handled several cases for me in the past and did a great job. I have referred him to friends and family, and they were satisfied with his services. He's not perfect as no one is, but with attorney encounters before him, I have to say I would choose him again.

Whose side are YOU on?

Do Not Recommend! Obtained their legal services that failed to provid legal options, legal counsel or legal protection. Danced around with opposing counsel running up substantial legal bill without accomplishing said goals within a reasonable amount of time! Total waste of our time and finances!
