Reviews

I hired Keith based on his online reviews. Initially, I was impressed with his commitment. However, as time progressed, I encountered several challenges that affected my experience negatively. Keith often seemed overwhelmed with his caseload, which might have contributed to the issues we faced. During our interactions, Keith occasionally displayed a temper, which was unexpected. He also provided me with unclear explanations regarding the financial aspects of my case, specifically how funds were being allocated, which led to rapid depletion of the resources without much progress. While I understand that managing multiple cases can be demanding, the level of service I received did not meet my expectations. In court, I felt that the aggressive approach I anticipated from our consultations did not materialize as effectively as hoped, which was surprising given his demeanor in person. Unfortunately, the outcome of my case was not favorable, and the legal fees accumulated quickly with what seemed like limited action taken on my behalf. This experience was disheartening, especially since I initially had a lot of trust in Keith's capabilities. It's important for others seeking legal representation to consider all aspects of a lawyer's client interactions and not just their courtroom performance. Based on my experience, I would advise caution when considering hiring Keith and suggest consulting multiple sources and reviews to form a well-rounded view.

Keith is probably the most knowledgeable family law attorney I have met. I interviewed several before hiring Keith Havens. Keith makes no promises, but he is a subject matter expert regarding marital law. I was surprised that his hourly fee was $250...lower than most.. My divorce was fairly uncomplicated except my career is federal law enforcement and there was property involved...those in my career field no what I'm talking about. FYI - even at $250 per hour, my divorce cost me approximately $15,000 in attorney fees, but his trial preparation is impressive. He is not perfect, but he is definitely looking out for your best interests. Keith takes charge when he needs to, but doesn't need to hear the sound of his own voice, i.e. mediation etc. My former spouse began to experience psychological issues before and during this process which made negotiations very tough. Her attorneys were competent, but they turned a simple 1 year wait into a 2 year hassle...typical for most attorneys that squeeze their clients for every dollar. If you need a family law attorney in Maryland, you need to contact Keith Havens. And if you get married without a prenuptial marital agreement...bad idea...

Great lawyer! Always prepared sometimes late but it is always understandable. Very nice to talk to and is always helpful. You should defiantly hire him to be your lawyer!

Mr. Havens is a wonderful attorney! I retained him to deal with a sensitive harassment issue. Keith approached the situation very professionally and clearly outlined all of my options. He never pushed me into an services I didn't need. He would provide me updates immediately and was always in communication regarding my situation. I highly recommend his services to anyone needing family law help.

Keith proved to be an unusual combination of personal advocate and professional attorney. His honesty was unparalleled and his ethics superb. If you are looking for an attorney who will fight for you with all he has, this is the gentleman you want.

I saw Keith in court in action and immediately fired my current attorney and hired him. Keith is very well prepared. Professional, respected, quick, and very detailed. Also, honest and truly cares about his clients. He is out to win your case, period. His fees are reasonable and very, very fair. I'd hire him again in a heartbeat!

I have seen Mr. Havens for several matters. He continues to be extremely trustworthy, diligent, and always on top of his game. He has not only helped and advised me with personal divorce and custody matters, but went above and beyond in assisting me with disability approval matters with work. I was approved through Social Security before my employment first. With Mr. Havens sound advice and direction my appeal was approved and I am now in a secure place until age 65. I would recommend him without a doubt again and again. Now he is assisting me with home ownerswhip & Wills.

Excellent strategic guidance on child custody issues providing sound, realistic advice and helped me see not only the strengths/weaknesses of my case/situation, but also those of my former fiancé. Keith also has a unique ability to quickly process/understand information, remember facts, think on his feet, and articulate facts in a contentious environment.

Every step of the way Keith made sure that I was informed of the process, aware of all possible outcomes and loopholes, and comfortable through it all. He did not hesitate to work hard on my behalf and for the best possible outcome in my favor.

I have used and recommended Keith several times in the past to friends and associates. I am presently using Keith in a situation where trust and confidence is critical. He always does a great job as proven by the results.
