This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Keith is super helpful

Keith is one of the best attorneys I have used. I appreciated his ability to be pragmatic regarding resolutions instead of pressuring for higher billing like other attorneys . Keith was happy to explain contractual terms and answer all questions.

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.
