I was assigned Keith A. Fricker through the Xenia District attorney's office as a public defender, and my experience with him was far from satisfactory. Initially, there was a communication breakdown, but this was due to my changing contact information rather than his negligence. However, once we did get in touch, I found Keith to be overwhelmingly unprofessional and dismissive. He has a very rushed demeanor, which came across as him being disinterested in my case and my circumstances. Despite known logistical challenges, such as transportation issues, he had no empathy or understanding, which resulted in him ridiculing me for being late to my court date. Keith's attitude was outright despicable; he spoke in a manner that was highly disrespectful and condescending. At times, he made me feel as if he doubted my mental capacity, despite my ability to articulate my situation clearly. Furthermore, this was all before we had even met face-to-face to discuss my case adequately. His behavior made me question whether there were underlying racial biases affecting his interactions with me. Counsel from the courts replaced my original lawyer with Keith at the last minute, and I am still baffled by this decision. He barely took the time to understand my side of the story, and instead, his primary focus was on pushing me to accept a guilty plea. This lack of genuine interest in my case and his failure to explain the full spectrum of my legal situation left me feeling unsupported and misrepresented. In conclusion, I would not recommend Keith A. Fricker for any legal representation, especially in criminal cases. His lack of respect, understanding, and basic professional decency makes him unworthy of trust in such critical legal matters. I plan to explore options to appeal my case, as I believe the outcome was unjustly influenced by inadequate representation. If you're considering Keith Fricker for your defense or any legal issues, my advice would be to rethink and seek a more accountable and respectful attorney. Your legal representation should fight for you, not against you.

I've worked with several attorneys and Fricker is by far the most dishonest, lazy, incompetent one of them all. HE is the reason attorneys have a bad reputation. The only thing he can follow-through on is taking his fees ($2k of mine and he did NOTHING.) He outright lied to be multiple times about filing my case... it was NEVER filed. He needs disbarred and behind bars.

i am working with fricker now, and will continue to update this review as he handles my case. as of now, i had a social security hearing july, 3 days before fricker POSTPONES my hearing and switches it to an in person, yes during covid he wanted in person. when i ask when you think that would be? he says " doesn't matter, it's my prefence" turns out it's NOT his preference it's mine. and if he had read just a few pages into my medical paperwork, he know i DO NOT leave my house often, so the in-person is going to be traumatic for me. so i'm staying positive, we will see how things unravel, and i will update as time goes on

I hired him to finish my probate to get my house in my name. he still has not done it. Every time I call him, he never returns my calls. This has been going on almost a year. My husband passed away in 2010, and he took my money and still the probate isn't done. I gave him money up front and he said the papers were on the judges desk, to be signed. That was 4 months ago. please someone help me. before I die and my house is in limbo.

He took money up front . He filed items in my lawsuit that weren't suppose to be in it . Now coming up to only a few days in divorce court and he can't be bothered to return 5 voicemails . Same as other reviewers . Secretary makes a thousand excuses for why this guy can't be bothered to do the job he's been paid for !

Where to begin,, wants his money up front, but wont do anything for you,, will not return phone calls or work for you in any way, didnt keep me informed of anything about my case. Called his office and whoever answers the phone states she takes your message and that he doesn't have a secretrary,, well I paid for his service not a secretary's service,, I would not recommend him to anyone,,, and will not use this attorney ever again, He came highly recommended and I was very disappointed with his services.

Keith (was) to the point, did take his time, (no hundred phone calls per day, talks to you when need be and secretary called when need be) and, if your situation is complex, he won't rush a filing but (did) remain within due course to file a motion or petition. Bankruptcy done by him in 1999 and it was cut and dry, took 3 minutes in court to do a Chapter 7, (and did one for my mom in 2009 - cut & dry). I waited 60-90 days or so for court (& so what). Anyways, Divorce and other tricky proceedings are always messy and so is the legal system.

Took him forever to file the papers for my dissolution even though he was paid in full in advance. It has been over 9 months since then and he still has not filed the quit claim papers that were supposed to be filed the day the divorce was final. He does not return any calls and neither does his secretary. She always makes excuses for him.
