Invaluable attorney, simply the best

DAK helped our family through a legal battle that was nothing short of a nightmare last year. His intelligence, determination, and professionalism make him the best attorney anyone could ask for. He understands the military court martial system well, and he does everything he can to explain the proce...ss to his clients and ensure their peace of mind. He didn't mind phone calls on the weekends if we thought of something pressing to our case or had a question that was driving us crazy. He did his best to prepare us for what was to come so we were rarely caught off guard by the legal system. And most importantly, his skill level was excellent in the hearings and trial itself. He got the results we needed. I would absolutely recommend him.

Simply an Outstanding lawyer

A superb lawyer who saved my military career and retirement. I faced an almost certain court martial on a multitude of charges, my situation looked bleak and dire at best. But Mr. Kees experience and tenacity coupled with a keen understanding of military law allowed him to out maneuver my local SJA.... Not only did it NOT go to trial but the agreed upon punishment (an ART 15) was thrown out through his meticulous and steadfast negotiating. His diligence, hard work, and attention to detail ensured I retired at my current grade (E9) with a tarnish free military record. My family and I are indebted to this, not only superb lawyer but wonderful and caring individual. The fees I incurred were negligible compared to what he saved me, worth every dime and then some. Neither my family nor I will ever forget what DAK has done for us. If in the future I have the need for a lawyer, I will not hesitate to call Mr. Kees. Thanks again DAK for all that you have done.

AMAZING

My boyfriend was facing a Article15 in Iraq and Mr.Kees returned my call within the first 30minutes of my message. I never felt hurried or that our case was less important then the next. We always received one on one attention from him, even after office hours. A couple of words that describe him, al...ong with the office staff are: Professional,Personable,Caring,Honest. We faced horrible times during the process and Mr.Kees explained step by step exactly what to expect and the reason behind it all. After winning the Court Martial, I feel that we now have a life long friend and Attorney to turn to no matter what the issue be. Mr. Kees will definetly be referred to all that mention the need of a Terrrific Caring Attorney. Thank you for the excellent job and all your time and dedidication. May God continue to bless you and your family.

ABOVE THE BEST.

There aren't enough words in the english language to describe Mr. Duane Kees. I called Mr. Kees while deployed in IRAQ. He advised me from my Article 15 to the last day of my Court Martial. He always kept me informed on what was going on. He even went as far as explaining to me what to expect, knowin...g this because of his knowledge and history being a former Commissioned JAG Officer himself. I went through a horrible time with my Court Martial. Mr. Kees was not only my lawyer, but he became family. I highly recommend him. THX

Simply the Best

Duane A. Kees defended me in a military court martial in April of 2009. Through his knowledge, professionalism and diligence I was able to maintain my rank and retire from the military as a Staff Sergeant. I was facing both going to jail and being kicked out of the military after having served 18 y...ears in the military. He made it possible for me to retire. I would recommend Duane Kees to represent anyone. He is a lawyer who is very passionate about his work and does the best job to represent you no matter if you were a Private in the military or a General.
