Excellent counsel for real estate law

Mr. Kesler came highly recommended by another attorney to help me resolve a boundary line resolution stemming from an adverse possession matter on a property I purchased in 2012, not discovering the defect until May 2013. I hired Mr Kesler in November 2013 when I realized I could not resolve this m...atter effectively without legal representation. Mr. Kesler was patient, highly knowledgeable, and intelligent- explaining things in terms I could understand and always communicating updates. Mr Kesler even won over the opposing party and resolved the matter in a mutually satisfying manner, all while working tirelessly to protect my interests.

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.
