Not just an Attorney he’s a friend for life

My husband and I hired Keith 14 plus years ago. He was great on his knowledge and guided us through the many business moves we were making. He is always there for me and always when I needed him the most. I highly recommend his services, as he will go beyond the call of duty. He also represent...ed a close friend in a criminal case and did an outstanding job. Again when you need him the most, Keith will be there always going above the standard call if his profession. When need the best, Keith cope should be in the top of your list!

I highly recommend Keith Cope

I first found Keith after searching for criminal attorneys. I am extremely happy he caught my eye. He is easy to talk to, respectful, and genuinely cares to do everything in his power and knowledge of law (which is amazing) to give you the best defense you've ever experienced. I most definitely wil...l seek out if needed again and will recommend Keith Cope to anyone. Huge benefit to have him fighting by your side. So many thanks to you Keith for what you've done for me. Sincerely, Crystal H. Redding,Ca

Keith is the most sincere and caring Attorney you will ever meet!

My husband and I own a business and I met Keith Cope approximately 15 years ago when he came to purchase an item from us. I remember talking to Keith and recall how soft spoken and calm he was. This was not very common in the music industry. I only spoke with him that one time, however, Keith’s manne...risms and soft nature made a lasting impression on me. Fast forward to 2014, my husband was arrested and charged with shining a flashlight at a police helicopter. This act was not intentional, it was night time and he was shining the light into a tree when the helicopter flew overhead. The charge was serious and my husband was innocent. At that time, I suggested that my husband call Keith Cope, as I remembered what a caring person he seemed to be. We were a 5-hour drive from Keith and this was impracticable. We hired our first attorney, whom wanted my husband to take a plea bargain. My husband is innocent and a plea bargain made no sense. We hired a second attorney, whom was willing to fight for my husband, however he became very ill and could not finish the case. 2 and a half years now past and we were still fighting the charge. I pleaded with my husband to call Keith Cope and ask his opinion, if only for a consultation on what to do. Keith listened to my husband by phone for over an hour and he decided to take the case. Keith believed in my husband’s innocence and was willing to fight for his rights. On several occasions, Keith took the 5-hour drive to show up in court on my husband’s behalf. He proved without a shadow of a doubt that my husband was innocent and the case was dismissed! Keith assured me from day one of taking the case that he would not let my husband be charged for a crime he was innocent of. He had faith in my husband and in turn we had faith in him. I have never met a person so compassionate about his job and the people who look to him for help. Without Keith, I know my husband would have been unfairly charged.

Integrity, Honor, Compassion

I was facing my 2nd dui in 2 years with a PV, naturally i was afraid. Afraid I'd lose my home, my income and my sanity. From the get go Keith assured me he would fight for me and not to worry that he had my best interest at heart. I was sure I would get the harshest sentence for a 2nd time offender w...ith a violation but that was not the case. When it comes to finding a lawyer who is compassionate about his clients circumstances, when it comes to finding a lawyer with integrity and one who knows what it means to be an honorable man there is none better than Keith Cope. He had my high BAC enhancement thrown out, my prior thrown out so for my 2nd offense I was given the same punishment as if it was my 1st. There is no better attorney in Shasta County and if you or someone you care for is in need of proper legal representation do yourself a service and call this man. He WILL fight for you and your best interest so that you can get on with your life. He will represnt you with Integrity, Honor and compassion and ensure you the best possible outcome even better than what you think you deserve. Thank you Mr Keith Cope!

Phenomenal Attorney!

I have hired several attorneys over the course of my life, and they've all been disappointments. Even though some of them came highly recommended, they either failed to deliver what they promised, didn't communicate well, or flat out lied to appease me. Therefore, I never felt compelled to write a ...review. That all changed when I retained Keith Cope. Keith represented me in a case in which all the odds were against me. I really thought I was done for, even though he kept reassuring me that it would be ok. He kept promising me that everything would work out in the end--and it did! He really went above and beyond, exceeding my expectations. Keith is diligent and detail-oriented, and he takes the time to make sure you know what's going on every step of the way. He is prompt when it comes to returning phone calls and he always keeps his word, unlike so many other attorneys I have dealt with. What sets Keith apart from the rest is that truly cares about his clients, and he will work tirelessly to make sure you are taken care of. I would highly recommend Keith to anyone needing an excellent criminal defense attorney.
