David Keesling is a paragon of excellence. He represents us with integrity, passion and tenacity. Where other lawyers failed us, Mr. Keesling excelled. He committed himself to our case and is undaunted by the burdens that come with it. He wholeheartedly dedicating his extensive knowledge, skills and abilities to our case and has embraced our fight as his own. Mr. Keesling has been supportive, encouraging, and reliable. He is also very straightforward and pragmatic; nothing he does is perfunctory. I have the utmost respect for and confidence and trust in David Keesling. He is truly a lawyer of distinction and I am very grateful for his representation.

David Keesling and his team are devoted to the law and details; they are passionate, caring and conscientious of their clients’ needs. They have proven to me time and time again, that they are right choice. The Keesling team is above and far beyond exceptional when measuring attorney client relations. I have met and interviewed many commercial litigators who would much rather avoid a courtroom confrontation. David Keesling is just the opposite; he is disciplined, meticulous and focused. David is always prepared, calculated and maintains the upper hand against opposing counsel, and is an expert negotiator. To say I feel fortunate that I have worked with David and the whole team at Keesling Law Group is an understatement. I would highly recommend this attorney to anyone.

David is the master of his art. He talks with authority and confidence. He has the ability to look through a problem and understand the 'inner workings.' It wont be because you do not want him on your team it will be because he does not want you or you cant afford him. He is truly the best.

I contacted Mr. Keesling at 5:30 pm after business hours. Not only did he answer my call but he was very courteous and listened to my situation. I got off the phone very impressed and I felt much better about what to do about my situation. I am so happy that I found him on this site and I look forward to working with him.

David Keesling and one of his attorneys, Tim Kittle, represented me in a very complicated federal court case. I was kept informed throughout the entire process, which was almost two years. David and Tim were always professionals. I can't say much for David's former partners, they were not accommodating and actually caused me a lot of stress. I was glad to see David go out on his own and the lawyers in his firm are all first class. I'd recommend David and his firm to anyone in need of honest and hardworking lawyers. I think they are a cut above the rest.

Impressive The only word that came to mind when we met David. It remains to be the word that describes his firm after achieving our best case scenario. We will never go anywhere else to be represented. Our family is extremely grateful and blessed because of him and his incredibly knowledgeable staff. Thank you will never seem enough. Best regards

I switched to David after having a terrible experience with the firm representing me beforehand. switching to David was one of the best decisions I've made thus far. He's been responsive, helpful, and diligent in helping me come up with the best resolution for my case. I would highly recommend using him if you want somebody to make you feel like a priority and be knowledgable about your case at all times. His work ethic and intellegence is unbeatable.

It was a pleasure working with David and having him as my attorney on my case in Oklahoma U.S. He was hard working and was very prepared in all occasions. He did an excellent job in the Federal court in Oklahoma City in front of the jury. The jury came out with a verdict in our favour. The case was complicated involving Norwegian practices in the Oil Industry and David was quick in adopting the knowledge required. I highly recommend David.

After going through several attorneys and getting nowhere on my case, I found Mr. Keesling. He is an amazing attorney! He has such an incredible dedication to each and every case that he takes. You can NOT GO WRONG with him! He has an extensive back ground in all areas which is hard to find and exactly what I needed. He is honest, tells it like it is, but Also understanding to your needs, and always takes time to speak with you in person or on the phone when you need him. I never felt left in the dark on my case and was never left feeling I had more of a "client relationship" with his assistant than him. I am so pleased with Mr. Keesling and his team!! If you need an attorney, look no further! This is the man you need. I promise it will be one of the best decisions you make. Also, my parents needed someone to handle their personal stuff. I sent them to Mr. Keesling and they were so pleased. He took care of them like they were his family. I know my parents can be demanding and question everything, but that didn't matter to him. He never acted annoyed or blew them off. He answered all questions they had( which were many) and left them feeling satisfied and relieved.

I had to switch lawyers in the middle of a divorce and I chose the experienced firm of KLG. David immediately went to work on my case and had answers that I had been looking for within days of working with me. His knowledge of the law is robust and his attention to detail and customer service in second to none. I would HIGHLY recommend David and his entire staff for any legal issues.
