Mr. Ketchel and his team are a first class enterprise. I hired them to help navigate some unique provisions of my probation that were affecting my ability to move forward with my life and reconnect with my children after some very bad decisions I'd made years earlier. All necessary aspects of my case were carefully discussed and I was very fortunate to have an outcome on two separate motions that were filed that got me the results I was looking for. Both motions were also turned around much faster than I anticipated given my prior experience with the court system. Mr. Ketchel's team went the extra mile after we were granted our motions by contacting the probation office and my specific probation officer to assure me that all parties involved in the scope of this scenario were crystal clear on how things would proceed going forward. Many thanks...

I contacted Justin Ketchel for a consultation when a family member didn't know where to turn arrested with a dui . Justin answered all my questions and put my mind at ease with what to expect so that I could pass the information to the family member that needed a good laywer and that he was, as he was hired by the family member!

I contacted this attorney by email on a Saturday and heard from him the following day. He was very easy to speak with and informative. it was very important that my son not lose his license for an underage offense he had been sited for while at a concert. The attorney was able to have reduced to a summary offense and he had to pay a manageable fine and complete a brief online class. Very happy with service we received and results. Made difficult situation much easier to deal with. Well worth the attorney fee!

I am in the process of starting my own business and wanted to speak with an attorney. After reviewing a number of different attorney’s in the area I decided to give Justin a call. Not only was he knowledgeable, but he was very responsive and professional. Justin was able to give me a step by step plan in order to help my business get off the ground and running. The whole process of starting your business is very stressful, but Justin was able to help me elevate any concerns. Justin was also very straightforward which I found to be very helpful and beneficial. He won’t give you the run around like other attorneys, which unfortunately I have experienced in the past. If you are looking for professional, responsive, courteous attorney don’t look any further.

We consulted and hired Justin for legal representation regarding two separate matters several years apart. Both times, they were prompt in responding to our request for a consultation and gathered the facts related to the cases in a meticulous manner. A plan was then discussed with us and implemented in a professional manner. The results were favorable each time and could never have been achieved without their expertise and diligence. I highly recommend this firm for any matters which may benefit from and/or require legal representation.

In april of 2017 I was charged with some very hanous accusations. All though false, and apparently so, the common law was hell bent on pursuing every angle they could to pin these charges upon me. Due to the charges no lawyer would even bother with me for less than 10,000$ per charge and there was 3 charges in total. Upon consultation with Justin Ketchel, and we consulted many, we was very confident with hireing within his firm. Justin was very informative and his price was very modest in comparison to the two plus dozen lawyers we had consulted with, an half wouldnt even bother without a fee. I highly recommend consulting within this law firm first before anyone else, you will not be disappointed. Thank you for your expertise and skilled work with this case and my very life.

Mt son was arrested on charges that could have had him in jail for a long time. Justin went through all the information we supplied an was able to have his charges dismissed. Justin was available at all times and kept us informed of every step. I never felt rushed talking to him and he returned all phone calls and e-mails

My lawyer Justin Ketchel provided class A service and a reasonable price. In my case I was falsely accused of a crime and after it was all said and done there were 7 felonies and 12 misdemeanors I contacted Justin Ketchel's office and his secretary ( Which is professional and a huge help) too my information and in no time I was speaking to Justin himself. When court time came I walked into the court room with a unbreakable confidence and didn't even break a sweat. Everything was handled in under 1 minute . I walked out of the court room with a bliss and a summary offense. Thank you Justin for everything.

I just recently got a D.U.I, it was first time I ever got myself in trouble. Attorney Justin Ketchel was my lawyer in this difficult and scary process. He was very sincere,compasionate, and very educated on this matter. He was there every step of the way, anything I needed to discuss he was there ready to answer and help me. I see Mr. Ketchel not just as the best lawyer I've experienced, but as a friend through all of this. He even went as far to sit in court with my mother-in-law, and assure her everything will be ok. Who does that anymore, my case is now over and I'm very very pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend, this law firm to anyone, who needs a well rounded respectful educated ,honest Attorney Justin Ketchel. Thank you again Attorney Justin Ketchel for your service. Lisa
