This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

If you want to win your case, its simple. You need Keyla Robertson in your corner.

Keyla Robertson was my lawyer from Nov 2019 to Sept 2020. From our first encounter all the way up to our very last encounter, she dug in deep to fight for the reunification of my family. I was told by other lawyers I was fighting a losing battle, but Keyla fought like this was her own family and my c...ase got COMPLETELY DISMISSED.. As approachable as she made herself to my family, at any moment we needed her, was beyond comforting. Not once did we ever feel alone in this scary situation. She even has a client portal to have private conversations or send and receive documents on. What I liked most about Keyla was that she didn't sugar coat anything that could happen in my case. She gave me worst case scenario along with the best case scenarios. I am forever grateful for the peace Keyla has restored in our family. If you can believe it Keyla was actually a court appointed attorney in my case, but she never once made me feel second to any other client she had. Its obvious she is passionate to help each and everyone of her clients equally. If you are searching for a lawyer that will hear everyone of your concerns and take the time to explain EVERYTHING to you, so your case and yourself a favor and go for her.

Keyla is great!

Keyla is very personable and transparent. One of her greatest qualities is how thorough she is. I’m also highly impressed with how resourceful and determined she can be. Even during a pandemic she has put our little family as a priority which is not only extremely kind, but also brave. She’s professi...onal, efficient, and mostly... trustworthy. 10/10 would highly recommend! Thank you Keyla for helping to make our family whole. Thank you for guiding us, educating us, and protecting us.

Attorney review

When one needs to utilize the services of an attorney, it usually is not a positive scenario. The legal process can be extremely stressful, time-consuming and emotionally draining. Keyla Robertson, however, takes the apprehension out of the picture. From the first consultation, she demonstrates the m...ost sincere and genuine approach when discussing delicate details of the situation. She makes you feel comfortable and safe in divulging private information that is necessary for the case. Her zeal and passion for justice and equity is unwavering throughout the entire process. It is refreshing to work with an attorney who makes you feel more like a partner rather than a stranger just going through a hard time. She gives honest and thorough explanations as events unfold, and she promptly returns messages and phone calls. Keyla's dedication, integrity, diligence, and humor ease the stress and uncertainty of daunting legal matters. I have collaborated with Keyla Marie Martinez Robertson on many cases and have full confidence in her work. I refer my friends and family to her.

Need someone to fight for you and your family? Just call Keyla!

When I got a knock on the door from DFPS I felt scarred alone with no hope and when they took my daughter I felt lost and afraid that I wouldn’t get her back. Fortunately for me I had Keyla on my side who reached out to me when I knew nothing about how and what to do to get my daughter back. She was ...firm understanding caring and helped me see hope when I thought I had lost it. She got me my daughter back in 9 months and encouraged me the whole time to do everything and then more than what DFPS was asking of me. After getting my daughter back with me in my home with her help my case was dismissed 6 months later. I recommend her to anyone facing a dispute against DFPS.
