Very responsive and fast.

If you need a lawyer that will get the right results choose Rob. He was very responsive and also handled my case with the hoped results. Response to inquiries was very fast and he was straight forward and honest. Also his assistant Robin was always available for questions and also informing me of the... case itself. Thank you for a Job welldone

YOU NEED MR.KEATING ON YOUR TEAM

I was dealing with a possible probation revocation, I spoke with Mr.Keating about how I wanted go forward with my probation and he explained all the possible scenarios that could happen and answered any questions I had. He has great patience, very understanding, doesn’t make you feel judged, and over...all makes you feel comfortable which then builds confidence with your choice of choosing him to represent you. He’s very honest with how he feels an outcome will play out and let’s you decide whether or not you want to take route. My probation was going ideal until my probation officer filed the motion to revoke me earlier than expected, I ended up having a warrant for my arrest. Mr.Keating came up with a solution to keep me from going to jail (as I have 2 kids dependent on me) and that required me to step into the courthouse full of officers. I honestly was very hesitant but I trusted him and I walked out of the courtroom discharged from my probation a month earlier than my intended date! I also adore his paralegal Robin! She is truly amazing, she’s has great communication, great response time, and helped me feel comfortable and at ease with an undesirable situation! I’m sure he has multiple clients but him and his staff really make you feel like you’re a priority which is so important when dealing with time sensitive matters. Definitely recommend to anyone needing legal assistance.

He was so informative and answered all my questions quickly. I would recommend him to anyone that needs an attorney.

Outstanding Defense

Rob represented a family member in an assault case. Rob was able to get the minimum sentence on a plea even though the Prosecution was after a much higher sentence. Even though he has a private practice, Rob was actually acting as a Public Defender in this case. We do not believe we could have gott...en a better defense than he provided. He kept both his client and us informed during the process in terms we could understand. If anyone in the DFW area needs legal defense we highly recommend Rob Keating.

The attorney YOU can trust

I hired Mr. Robert Keating to defend me against a serious family violence charge that would have ended my career, or worse. I couldn't take a chance with just any attorney. My livelihood and freedom depended on the outcome. Even in light of all the evidence, the prosecutor was not willing to dismi...ss the case. We were going to jury trial, and hoped for a Not Guilty verdict. Finally after 9 months of appearances, the prosecutor and court dismissed the charge on the day of trial. Mr. Keating was relentless in his pursuit of justice for me. I know Mr. Keating will work hard defending you, too.

"Rob asked me to assist him in a DWI trial. During this trial I noticed two very important qualities about him: 1) that he was well prepared and 2)that he was well respected by the Court. His client also believed in him and had the utmost confidence in his abilities. I recommend Rob Keating to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney as you will have peace of mind throughout the process and a hell of a legal advocate representing you."
