I have had several bad experiences with lawyers. Mr. Keys has been GREAT. He's compassionate and willing to go that extra mile to get your case taken care of with the best results possible! I will NEVER use another lawyer as long as Mr. Keys is in practice. I most definitely recommend him and assure, that you will be more than satisfied with your experience as outcome! ,\ , \\

We were referred to Rick Keys from our personal attorney. Rick did an excellent job handling our case and getting us the maximum amount. He answered every question we had and anytime I called or emailed him he responded promptly. Rick is definitely the attorney you want on your side, not against you. While attending college he worked for an insurance company so he knows the ins and outs of how insurance companies try to screw people and knows how to fight for his clients so insurance companies don’t take advantage of you. If you want to win your case and get on with your life, Rick Keys will get you there! He did for us.

I highly recommend Rick Key's as an attorney. My experience with him was wonderful. This was my first and going to be my only DUI. Rick was extremely knowledgeable in this particular area. He explained everything to me in the correct detail that I needed. I never had to know what was going on or where we were at with the process. Rick was very timely in responding to my phone calls, texts or emails. I never had to contact him more than once on anything. When we went to court he saw that I was nervous and ensured me that everything was going to be ok and walked me through each step of the way. Rick was the right lawyer for me and I highly recommend him to anyone for any type of case that he can handle for you.

Rick is very knowledgeable when it comes to the law and recommended options. He is the type of attorney who seeks to understand the situation and then help the client make the best decision.

He has been the lawyer for my immediate and extended family for 20+ years. He has never disappointed. His advice in areas he specialises in has always been excellent. His council for areas in which he does not specialise has always lead to professional, experienced recommendations for representation.
