I have known and worked with Rob for many years. Rob is an excellent attorney with a sharp mind, good communication skills and is well-regarded among his peers in the legal community. I recommend him for these reasons in addition to what is possibly his finest quality, which is a true dedication to his client's best interests in all circumstances. I highly recommend Rob.
Mr. Keller , is a very good lawyer, I had a very serious case and Robert was rite there by my side. His Assistant, she's the best u can get. His Law office is the very best. I am poor and I still got help from that office. If you have a problem or trouble of any kind , come see these people.
Robert Keller is a great attorney which I have had the fortunate mis-fortune to have represent my son. Mis-fortunate because what parent wants to need a defense attorney to represent their teenage son. However, Robert Keller demonstrated the upmost professionalism while also showing his concern for our situation. I have and will continue to recommend Robert Keller's services.
From my layman point-of-view there was no basis for me to be arrested in the first place. I was not aware of how loose the technicalities were that the state could use to make a case, at least for an arrest. Once arrested I was becoming more convinced that I would have to go all the way to an expensive trial in order to defend myself. Without presenting me with unrealistic expectations, always giving me clear explanations and sometimes to my discomfort, making clear how law is conducted in the real world. Rob effectively defended me at the preliminary hearing and got the charges dropped. I can say that I trust Rob and feel his understanding of both sides of the criminal justice system in Pennsylvania was and continues to be very valuable in setting expectations, understanding what is happening, and most important, in forcing me to focus on what information really matters in a case.
