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 matter 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.
