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...

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.

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 ...
"I have known Keith for many years. He was an excellent prosecutor with the Shasta County District Attorney's Office during the majority of the time I have known him. He has since left that office to work as a private practice attorney. He has great ability in handling criminal cases, and gets good results for his clients. I highly recommend him."
"Keith is a driven attorney who represents his clients to the fullest. I have known him for a few years and have always found him to be diligent and competent in representing his clients. If you are a client of Keith's you can be sure you are being well represented."
