He takes no responsibility for the bad experience I had and told me the lady I spoke with - Ms. Moorad was not even an attorney. So basically she lied to me when I thought I was speaking with an attorney. He further tried to poke holes in my review without even getting the facts right. Hey buddy - instead of getting defensive and trying to imply I'm lying, why don't you show some customer service by finding out what happened and then seeking to address it instead of trying to deny everything. Terrible customer service yet again from this firm.

I have been a Realtor since 1994 and was introduced to Soo Keithley and Keithley Law several years…read moreago when representing a Buyer and the Seller and their Realtor was less than honest in their dealings. As I was unable to resolve the dispute with the Realtor or his Broker, we needed to seek legal advise on how to proceed. Soo listened to our issues and knew exactly what to do in order to keep the Seller from selling to another Buyer who was willing to pay more (while Under Contract with us). Soo was able to stop the second sale and get the Seller to perform on their Contract. Soo will keep in touch through the process, tell you exactly what she will do, and do what she says she will do. I am blessed to have Soo as a resource for any legal issues which may come up in my real estate practice. I can recommend Soo and Keithley Law without any hesitation, you will be in good hands.

After this, I was assigned to another attorney within the firm. The representation itself was fine, but I did feel that there was unneeded back-and-forth at times, with each message being billed at a rate of 6 minutes, it all adds up. The tipping point was when I emailed asking if we could reach out to the other party's representation and also asked if there were any strategies to move toward a resolution. I received a response stating "It is good to hear from you. It probably makes sense for you to reach out to [other party regarding my question] and the need to reach a resolution. If you are able to reach an agreement, then we can help you to memorialize its terms." I was surprised when I was charged for this, and when I asked if I was being charged, I was ignored. Finally, when I asked to end my relationship with the firm and requested a refund of my retainer, the amount billed for the aforementioned email response was deducted. While it was only ~$40, my question was not even answered. I was offered a 15 minute consultation at a later time, but since I'm no longer a client, asked if that was something I would even be able to use. A week later and I have not received a response. I would be cautious of this firm if your situation is not cut and dry and to whom you are assigned. In my experience, Soo Keithley is fantastic, but others may leave you wanting for more.
