Excellent Attorney

Keil has been a great resource for real estate contracts, estate planning/will needs and business contract reviews as well. I would highly recommend Keil for your legal needs. Very knowledgeable, professional, efficient and easy to work with. Great.

Top notch attorney

I personally hired Keil to negotiate the buyout of my interest in a professional services firm. This was a contentious situation and I needed strong attorney handle the other party as well as keep me in line with realistic expectations of the possible outcomes. The results could hardly have come ou...t better. Keil has a relaxed client-attorney demeanor as well which was great for me in dealing with an already stressful situation. I didn't need an uptight attorney to add to my stress. I have also worked with Keil in conjunction with several of my clients handling partner buyouts, entity formations, asset acquisitions and various other contracts, corporation, LLC and partnership issues. As a referring professional my clients' experience is a critical reflection on me positively or negatively. All of my clients have been very happy with their results as well as Keil's expertise and professionalism. I will absolutely continue to refer to Keil.

Skilled and versatile, an outstanding advocate

We first met with Mr. Larsen when we were seeking help writing the formation documents for our new business. We found him to be both personable and knowledgable and we were happy to hire him. Since then he has handled a variety of matters for us spanning from simple business disputes to trademark i...ssues, all to very satisfactory result. He has been a valued and valuable asset to us and we recommend him highly.

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.
