His manner is down to earth, and yet he is on the ball with all the details that these legal matters require. More recently, we sold a commercial piece of property and without hesitation, I contacted Karl to handle that transaction as well. The commercial deal required much more detailed interaction between the buyers , their representatives and ourselves and Karl guided us at every twist and turn. He was a calming influence as we dealt with the entire process! Karl introduced me to his partner, Chris; who handled the final details and the closing. He, like Karl was a reassuring voice to me in handling the matter. I would definitely recommend their services. They were quick to return my phone calls and totally professional in their advice and in educating you on the process.

P Skulley is handling my aunt's estate and he has been very slow in processing forms for getting…read morethe court's approval of the chosen executor. This is a critical step because all other steps in the distribution of the estate can't start until the executor is approved by the probate court. My aunt passed on 06/04/19 and here we are 5 months later near the first week of November and none of the required notices have been sent to the heirs. When inquiring as to when they will be mailed I've been told early next week for the last 6 weeks. So these attorneys are SLOW moving. My fear is the delay is just so they can bill the estate for a longer period of time. Katrina C.

I was extremely please with the prompt and professional help I received from Keating Law Offices,…read morewith personal attention from Tom Rueland. I learned about them from a seminar their office presented at our bike club about 6 months prior to my accident. I remember they said not to speak to the driver's agent and all Keating first. I was riding my bike and obeying all laws when I was injured. It was hard to remember much as I was pretty dazed. Their office managed to obtain all needed documents from the police and hospital and put together an excellent plea for my case. I was not required to do much as I was pretty ignorant of everything and their office made eiverything seamless. Tom followed up, kept me up to date, always replied to my texts, and calls and was thorough. Thus, I needed to do little except heal. I don't wish anyone to be injured. If you are, you need to contact a good firm such as this for help as there is so much that has to be done. Allison

The second time was when my elderly father had ~$4k "misappropriated" by the employee(s) of a nursing home. In that situation she was utterly useless.

Tragically for her she won't be getting paid unless and until the state attorney general can recover the funds from the nursing home and its employee(s). Do yourself a favor.
