This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Nonresponsive

I was in the process of retaining Ms. Kehl. She had assured me she responds quickly to communication requests. On the phone she wanted a certain amount as a fee. Afterwards, I sent her an email mentioning details of the payment. Two days later I sent her a reminder email. The next day I decided not t...o hire her. She apologized and said she had been busy. That's not a very good excuse.

Amazing Honest

She worked with us for a long time. Very long time. A few years to say the least. She is amazing. You will not regret using Mrs. Kehl. I can not say enough about her. Very personable, honest, up front, works with you. Even if you have talked to other attorneys don't decide on one until you talk... to Samantha!

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.
