Large Collection Problem.

Keith and his assistants worked on a significant and difficult collections issue for our company. His efforts resulted in a judgement for our business but as it turned out the very troubled defendant in this case committed suicide, leaving his family and estate to deal with these problems. There se...emed to be no rational expectation that the estate would or could meet all of the obligations that were being pursued. It was a difficult and emotionally charged situation for all involved and Keith dealt with the case in a calm, rational and effective manner to it's conclusion. It did not turn out well but probably as good as it could in view of the circumstances.

Responsive Help

Keith has help many of our CPA firm's clients regarding various business and personal legal matters. He has helped with collections, contracts, estate planning, and court subpoenas. Keith is honest and forthright. He does not create issues to puff up his fees. He seeks to solve problems in the me...thod that is most advantageous to the client. Keith is one attorney that I can trust. I have worked with his law firm for many years and I find that their firm has a culture of integrity.
