Best Attorney In Corsicana

A loved one of mine needed an Attorney for a felony case and we hired Steve Keathley. Steve dedicated his time and expertise to my loved ones case. I knew that we had hired the best Attorney for this particular case. Steve sat down with us and explained everything to me and my Daughter-in-Law. After ...speaking with Steve, we knew that our loved one was in good hands. Attorney, Steve Keathley fought hard and what was going to be 20 years in prison, Steve got him 8 years probation. I highly recommend Attorney Steve Keathley for anyone that needs an Attorney that will fight for you. Our loved one and the family are very pleased with Steve Keathley.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I would highly recommend Steve Keathley for any citizen accused of a crime in Navarro County, Texas. Steve has over a decade of actual courtroom experience and is definitely not "afraid" to go to trial. I have personally tried several criminal cases against Steve and I can confirm a simple, but important fact about his secret to success: Juries love Steve Keathley. He speaks their language and he understands them because he was born and raised in Navarro County. In addition, his experience as the former elected Criminal District Attorney of Navarro County gives him rare and important insight into the local law enforcement personnel and their investigative procedures. Simply put: Steve is the go to criminal defense lawyer in Navarro County."

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.
