Keith A Berkshire

I hired Kathleen Nielsen to handle my divorce 6.5 years ago. 31 plus years of marriage. ...no minor children...2 properties and a pension involved. Kathleen immediately sent me to a tax attorney to obtain a Qadro....hopefully spelled correctly. ..that is a specific document that must be completed in order to obtain half of the ex husbands pension. If that is not done pre divorce you may as well kiss it goodbye. I just began receiving the monthly checks and I owe it all to Kathleen. She also placed a lien on the property that I was bought out on for legal fees ordered by the court that he never paid. 6.5 years later I got a call from Kathleen saying she had a check for me...he let the property go to foreclosure and i got my money....I didn't even know she did that...it was an awesome surprise. Kathleen Nielsen is a formidable attorney on every level. I highly recommend her for your divorce needs...She will take him to the bank and give you all the money allowed by the laws. She does not play at this...she delivers. Thank you Kathleen.

I was referred to Ms. Nielsen through another trusted advisor that provides services for me. Years ago I realized that to succeed in the finance, insurance, legal, fitness, etc. areas I needed to build a team around me for support in those areas of my life. Ms. Nielsen has become part of the team. I was pleasantly satisfied when we met. She is personable and welcoming. She was open about the process of estate planning and carefully considered my unique situation during our dealings. I was able to share my legal needs with her openly as well as learn about her background and experience to determine if she would be a good fit as a personal advisor. I had already drafted and signed the recommended estate planning documents including my Living Will, Durable Health Care Power of Attorney, Financial Power of Attorney and Last Will and Testament. I asked Ms. Nielsen to review the existing documents to make sure they were in good order and also to advise and revise my Last Will and Testament. Ms. Nielsen was willing to spend the time needed to sit with me to read through the documents, discuss my individual situation and advise me of her recommended actions. She was available by phone and email throughout the editing process until the document satisfied my legal needs and wishes and the State's requirements. The process was seamless and I feel relieved that my estate plans are now in order. I feel strongly that I can contact Ms. Nielsen with questions both related and unrelated to her practice areas and obtain either a direct solution or a referral to someone in her network that can address my concern. Her rates were reasonable, her office environment comfortable and easy to find and her service was friendly. I will look forward to working with Ms. Nielsen should the need arise in the future.

I met with Kathleen and reviewed a mediation document. She sat down and went through all 44 pages of the document with me and made very sound recommendations. Had I not seen her, I would have agreed to a number of things that were not legally required and quite honestly, stupid. Her rate is reasonabl e and I had I known of her sooner, I would have chosen to spend my money with her over a mediator any day. Mediators are no one's advocate. You need an advocate - a fair advocate - and that is the impression I had when I left Kathleen's office. If you are already in the process with a mediator, at least have her review your agreement. It is worth the time and the money. My personal opinion - you should see an attorney when you are divorcing and the attorney you should see is Kathleen Nielsen.

Kathleen was an excellent attorney. Her attention to detail and her foresight were invaluable. I would recommend her for any legal needs you would have and trust her completely.

I hired Douglas to help me through a divorce, and as someone who has never been divorced, I have to admit I was very overwhelmed. Mr. Gardner was very kind, responsive, had great attention to detail, and was great walking me through the entire process. He would give me quick calls if I had questions the same day, and represented me very well. I am very grateful I was put in touch with him, he took me on as a client, and I am grateful for his guidance and expertise through this process!

I don't typically take the time to write reviews, bad or good, but am now to endorse Douglas Gardner and Davis Miles. There's plenty said about the challenges of divorce, but getting on the other side of it allows for the opportunity to reflect more clearly - and Douglas' sincere and direct approach was awesome. The law is messy and never seems fair, but Douglas brought clarity to all of that and worked expeditiously as requested. He's not interested is burning up billable time, but about doing what's right and what's needed. And he's backed by a professional and equally competent team. Highly recommend him and his firm.

I feel so grateful to have Keith on my side and for all he has done for me. He is one fine attorney! Thank you, Keith.

Keith Berkshire epitomizes the proverbial gentleman and scholar. Right from the start, he met me for a low-cost initial consultation, and immediately understood the pertinent elements. He reviewed my paperwork, explained the options and gave me homework to minimize his costs. Once we had a CD in hand Mr. Berkshire comprehended the major due process violation that had threatened to destroy my life, financially and by incarceration. Without Keith Berkshire I would today be locked up as a result of a judge ignoring my constitutional rights and the rules of court. Not only did Mr. Berkshire put together and file an exceptional appeal brief, but he also understood how the Court of Appeals works, both in terms of legalities and how the judges would consider matters. He was spot on. When push came to shove, the court justices afforded Mr. Berkshire (and my case) great consideration in every regard -- and Mr. Berkshire effectively set forth every important element in his presentation at the court hearing. He has a grasp of details and the overall picture. Not only was I vindicated, but the opinion was published and will likely change how family court matters will hereafter be conducted. It is my belief that family court judges will be careful to allow litigants full opportunities to testify, cross-examine and present evidence. . . all of which were denied to me at my lower court trial. Lastly, I am grateful that Mr. Berkshire offered me affordable payment terms. He is worth every penny paid and to be paid. If you are looking for counsel who understands the pertinent factors, is highly competent to present them, and carries significant influence in his field -- then Keith Berkshire is the man. He is the preeminent problem solver.

Keith was my attorney during a very complicated case that lasted three years. Despite the highly stressful circumstances, I always enjoyed our interactions. Keith was professional, insightful, and highly strategic. He has a brilliant mind and continuously amazed me at the details about my case that h e was immediately able to recall. In the end, we won our case and thanks to Keith's expertise, justice was absolutely served. I would highly recommend Keith to anyone who is going through a divorce, especially those involving children. My children and I are now free and able to live our lives in the best, healthiest way possible.

I’m not sure where to begin. Keith and Jeanette (his paralegal) literally saved my entire financial future. I’m an out of state client so I hired Keith sight unseen. I researched all of the certified family law specialists in Arizona on the state bar website. I encourage you to do the same. Howe ver, I’ll save you the time. No one has a better resume or credentials than Keith. His knowledge of Arizona family law is unparalleled. You can review the cases he’s handled on his website to confirm this- up to and including his time at the Supreme Court. My case involved multiple properties and retirement accounts in addition to child support and custody. Keith was able to simplify everything and solve my case according to my wishes. Furthermore, Keith has a top notch appellate practice so although the opposing counsel in my case initially threatened an appeal, they quickly realized what they were up against and relinquished that idea. Finally, no matter how simple or complex your case is, don’t think you can represent yourself in family law matters. You can’t. This isn’t drafting a will online. Your entire financial and family life is at stake so you need a professional. All attorneys are responsive and compassionate. You’re paying for knowledge and results. That’s what separates Keith from all the rest. I recommend him without hesitation.
