Responsive and efficient

I needed review of a release of liability. Keil responded immediately to my Avvo messages, and the work was done in a few days. It took less billed time that I expected and the price was reasonable.

Nice attorney to work with

Keil called me while he was on vacation. He reviewed my case and provided insightful inputs. I wont hesitate to reach out to him if I need an attorney.

Responsive and honest

I was trying to get out of a property buying contract. Keil briefly break down the case for me and analyzed every possibility for me. He honestly told me in this case, he can't do much for me. It's better for me to let it go and save my time. I appreciate all the information from him.

Business Acquisition

I recently purchased a company and Keil worked as my Lawyer through the process. He was exactly what I needed and his advice was timely and served me well. During the negotiations of the purchase agreement he was patient and answered all my questions and helped me avoid pitfalls that I would have f...allen right into without his help. He also helped me structure my other LLCs and register them with the state. I actually wish I had gotten him involved sooner as it would have eased the purchase. When I did get him on the team, he got up to speed very quickly and took us across the finish line. I will be using Keil for any of my legal needs going forward with my companies. I highly recommend him.

Gets the job done!

I recently worked with Keil on a M&A transaction; Keil represented the Buyer and I was the Seller's M&A advisor. Keil was incredibly good to work with. He advocated strongly for his client, but knew when and how to negotiate to get the deal done. I really enjoyed the grace in which Keil conducted him...self- professional, but not stuffy- communicative but not too much so - firm, but polite. I would highly recommend Keil for anyone thinking of seller or buying a lower middle market company!

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.
