This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Fantastic!

I was terrified. I thought for sure I would be denied Bankruptcy. When I met Mr. Lyman I was so surprised at how easy going and calm he was. He set my mind at ease right away. I still had a few butterflies but with him all went smoothly. Thank You so much Keith! If you need a lawyer what are you wait...ing for? Keith Lyman is your man.

Excellent service

I needed an attorney for special needs trust. Mr. Lyman was very helpful, prompt and courteous. He kept me informed throughout the entire process and made the experience as easy as possible. Everything went smoothly and he achieved the result I wanted. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need ...of an attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
