Joseph Lawrence Keiser

Joe Keiser helped me through one of the hardest periods of my life after my husband of 45 years left me, and although the process was terribly stressful for me, Joe's calm competence and willingness to negotiate sensibly made for the best possible outcome. He carefully walked me through every step, e...xplained things carefully, and dealt with tough issues calmly. He was reassuring and kind throughout. It took a year and a half to get to a solution, but that is apparently normal, and Joe was always very careful to make sure he was keeping costs down as much as he could. I was so lucky to find him right here in Alameda, and I highly recommend him as a strong, knowledgeable and supportive advocate for anyone going through this traumatic situation.

Joe assisted me in the process of filing for full custody and a move away order. As anyone in this situation will know it can be a lengthy, drawn out process. Understanding that I was working on limited funds, Joe provided me with the tools to prepare my own declaration (with his assistance of co...urse) and guided me thru what I could expect as my mediation and court dates approached. A few days prior to my court appearance, I realized that having an attorney present would not only alleviate my nervousness but help me to understand any legal “lingo” the courts would be using. One of the best decisions I’ve made for me & my daughter was hiring Joe Keiser and having him represent me in court. He not only helped resolve my dispute, but also provided me with insight on the states family law process.
