This is my second review of Chris because a year after achieving what seemed like the impossible of sentencing outcomes, he not only counseled me whenever I needed throughout the last year to the best of his ability (shows his true loyalty to his clients) but we were just able to get another great outcome: an early dismissal of the charges that were pending from and stayed sentence. I've worked with other attorneys who came highly rated but had inflated costs and never followed up once the case was over. That is NOT Chris. Chris cares about his clients. He is an excellent criminal attorney and I would highly recommend him to everyone who is considering doing so. I know when my case is up for expungement in two years, Chris will be my go-to.

I had an issue that I needed a lawyer for. I told Chris what I needed. He said he could deliver what I needed. He put in a very strong effort to deliver on his promise. He presented me with the possibilies and goals. He updated me with possible outcomes and his adapting goals as the case moved forward. I really feel like I got my money's worth when I hired Chris. He delivered on his word.

It took some time getting the courage up to proceed with trying to get an expungement. Choosing an attorney was no small feat. When I interviewed Mr. Keyser, he was upfront about expectations and thorough on relaying the process, should I go forward. I chose to retain him clearly knowing the risks and limitations of what I was trying to accomplish. He could not have done a better job of assisting me, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. If you are in need of an attorney, I highly recommend Mr. Keyser. He will go above and beyond in assisting you.

Chris provided a consultation before charges were even filed and once charges were filed, we had another consultation and it was clear Chris had the unique perspective of knowing a great deal not only about law when it came to domestic assault but the system and the people I'd be dealing with. I got an extremely favorable outcome considering my case which was somewhat unique since my partner and I had reconciled and the domestic were dropped to a much lesser charge. I HIGHLY recommend Chris!

Chris is a very competent attorney that explains everything in simple terms so you can understand what is going on. He always has your back and will get you the best results possible. He charged a flat fee, so you don't have to worry about phone call costs.

I was charged with drinking and driving while underage along with speeding, and weaving between the lines. Keyser and I were only able to meet for the first time, an hour before my court hearing, but it went well. I was satisfied with the outcome and the deal that was made, he worked efficiently and clearly put all of his effort into my case even though we were only able to talk for an hour. Keyser is able to work efficiently under pressure and a time crunch, I would highly recommend him.
