Idris S Keith

About seven months ago I got a letter from the SBA. I was denied my 8A certification. I did not know what to do. I did a Google search to find an answer to my problem and I found the law firm Mr. Keith worked for. When I contacted him I told him about my concerns and he asked me to send the letter t...o him for review. He explained his approach in addressing each issue. He said to me every point discussed by the SBA would be addressed by legal research. Initially, I was confused, however, he explained each point so that I could understand. He redrafted my narratives and helped me get my 8-A. I am thankful he was committed to meeting my needs. I can truly say he Knows the Law.

I selected his firm with the impression they were experts in the SBA 8(a) program. This was not the case.If you are needing assistance with Small Business Administration 8(a) program decisions, you may want someone with more experience. My experience with this lawyer was he used up my fees ($2,500) t...o do research on case law to justify overturning their denial. Instead of preparing a response he kept sending me emails documenting his research and the $2,500 was allocated to his "research". No response was prepared. The correct response (from someone without a law degree-EZ Certify) was to present the updated financial information in a formal response with supporting documents and I was approved 7 days later.
