I worked on a DWI case with Keltin when we were both Student Attorneys in law school. He confidently prepared for trial as the offer we received from the prosecutor was not cutting it. After hours and hours of preparing for a suppression hearing and Keltin's impressive attention to detail which unveiled several problems in the case, the prosecutor finally dismissed the DWI charge and gave our client a reasonable and fair offer. Keltin is extremely passionate about criminal defense and will evaluate each case as thoroughly as he did this one.
