Review
My lawyer did wonderfully with my case. Knowledgeable about what to do. He suits his profession. Had enough experience to handle my case. He only did not have enough time with some of my witnesses. Other wise he is the best lawyer I could recommend someone to.
"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."
"Keltin is an outstanding lawyer who cares and works very hard on every case. He's full of ideas and leaves no stone unturned."
"I have worked with Keltin on numerous cases and projects. The attention to detail, his passion and desire is unmatched. If Keltin is your attorney then you are in good hands."
