Excellent Attorney with Integrity

Being sued frivolously is a stressful experience for anyone, but Keith Peterson made a difficult situation bearable. After being served with the lawsuit, I hired Keith Peterson on the advice of an acquaintance who is also a lawyer. His wise counsel allowed my wife and me to have peace of mind as h...e guided us through the process. When meeting with him or talking to him on the phone, we never felt rushed. He took the time to explain each step and advise us on our best course of action. Ultimately, the case went to mediation, and, in accordance with our wishes, was resolved as quickly as possible. Months later, when I came to him on a complicated intrastate inheritance issue, he was able to advise my family’s Louisiana counsel on how to proceed. Much to my surprise and appreciation, he provided this excellent service for free! The Louisiana counsel followed his instructions to a tee and was able to get the inheritance distributed without any problems. I really can’t recommend this attorney enough. If you need a lawyer who knows the law and serves his clients with skill and integrity, Keith Peterson is your guy!

Friendly, knowledgeable and honest attorney

I hired Keith to prepare my will I am extremely happy with the final document. The language in my will precisely outlines my desired estate distribution. I hired Keith because he is not only an attorney but also a CPA. In addition, I found both Keith and his office staff very friendly.

The best of the best!

My experience with Keith Peterson was great. He was very attentive and honest about his thoughts on my legal situation. He let me know early in our consultation that he would not be able to represent me with my particular case. He still took the time out to make the necessary phone calls needed for ...me to quickly resolve an immediate legal issue I was facing. He spent additional time explaining all the legal terminology that I did not understand and walked me through other possible legal options I had. I am amazed and grateful for what he helped me accomplish today. Keith Peterson proved himself to be knowledgeable, ethical, effective, honest and just an overall good person. I would highly recommend him and plan to use his services in the future.

Integrity and honesty/Truthfulness

Keith will be painfully blunt with you regarding your ability to successfully take on an adversary who maybe on solid ground legally but are morally and ethically bankrupt. Keith will not take advantage of your frustration and anger to make a buck.He provides great service and is responsive you you n...eeds, at least he was with our needs! Bottom line is he will sincerely take care of you.

Goes above-and-beyond to meet YOUR deadline

Keith was extraordinary. I needed legal counsel for some real estate matters and I had a VERY short deadline. Keith not only gave great legal advice, but he also worked over the weekend to make sure he could help me with MY deadline and ensure that my contract deal went forward smoothly and without... a hitch. I highly recommend Keith for his down-to-earth style, great legal counsel, and his effort to go above-and-beyond to make sure you are successful. Thank you Keith!
