I Rate Keltin VonGoten A 23 On A Scale Of 1-10!!!!
If you, a family member or a friend are in need of legal assistance, I highly recommend Keltin VonGonten! He may appear young, yet his experience and expertise spans far beyond his age. Keltin has been preparing cases for senior defense attorneys/icons in Texas Criminal Law for at more than 10 years. He has learned from the very best, yet adds his own amazing ability and foresight to determine just the rights steps needed to resolve your legal issues while achieving the very best possible outcome. Keltin goes above and beyond what you may expect from an attorney, treating his clients with the upmost respect and dignity while outlining the specific actions that must be taken in order to minimize any unpleasant results. I can describe him in two words, "Keltin Cares" and he is more that a defense lawyer, he is a friend to you and will treat you like family.

We hired Keltin to represent my son with charges stemming from possession of marijuana and a firearm. My son was only 18 at the time. We were worried about these charges jeopardizing his future. Keltin was able to able to get all charges dismissed. We couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Keltin communicated effectively and kept us apprised of the case's status as it proceeded. Thank you, Keltin!

THE BEST !!!
Keltin VonGonten is a Godsend. He remedied long standing issues with our case. He listened to EVERY word we said, and acted according to our wishes. This man is intelligent AND compassionate, responds to any communication immediately, and seeks justice for all. I would recommend his services to ANYBODY, especially anybody that believes there is no hope. He will tell you that there is ALWAYS hope, and then back up his statement. We are forever grateful to him...truly my review does NOT do him justice. He was PERFECT....start to finish.

A defense attorney that truly cares
Keltin did everything he could for my Dad and my family. The case started at a loss but he still tried to get the least sentencing possible. Although attorneys prioritize making their name known, Keltin pays more attending to doing what's best for his client and their family. We were well informed throughout the process and he was very understanding and patient with all our inquires. The best choice for a Criminal Defense Attorney in our area! Thank you for doing all you did, Keltin!

AWESOME ATTORNEY
FIVE STAR LAWYER !! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Keltin was an excellent & knowledgeable attorney in my sister’s case. He kept me well informed at all times and I was always updated of the next step.

I would highly recommend Keltin to anyone I know.!!!

Couldn't have asked for anyone better to fight for me!
Working with Keltin VonGonten from the Criminal Defense Attorney's at Hurley & Guinn has created the best outcome for my case! I couldn't thank him enough for working so diligently with the state and debating the best possible result for my case. Keltin was able to clearly explain information about this process and frequently update me on how things were going. He also responds very fast and is willing to help out with any questions /needs you might have in relation to your case. Furthermore, he was also able to continually reassure me that things were going swiftly and would continue to do so if I were to follow through with the actions advised of me.

A GREAT ADVOCATE
Keltin handled my grandson's case with a lot of professionalism. Anytime you have to visit an attorney there is a certain amount of anxiety. Keltin quickly put us at ease, was very quick to access the case, and went to work for us. Keltin was able to achieve a plan for us that led to a favorable outcome for our grandson. I would recommend Keltin for your legal needs. He was a great advocate for us.

"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."
