Keith D. Maples

“Keith came highly recommended from a friend whose husband serves as a Judge and who spoke highly of Keith’s reputation for doing what is fair and just for the children of divorce. He served as the lead attorney on my divorce case and did the initial consultation with me. Keith managed to put me at ease despite the obvious emotional distress I was under, and although I ended up working with an associate at his firm, he remained involved in my case, offering his nearly encyclopedic knowledge of family law as needed. I am so grateful to have had him in my corner during this difficult time in my life, and can’t say enough about him and his entire firm. “

“Keith Maples: competence relating to my children’s special needs.  I am the mother of three children with special needs. Divorce proceedings taught me that an attorney that does not understand disabilities can cause family hardship for years. …For the first time in years of searching, struggling, and trying to explain our situation, I felt heard, understood, and, most importantly, not alone. Keith knows the complexities of Texas law concerning disabilities. He understands the vulnerabilities and needs of children with disabilities. In addition, he has the courage, compassion, and integrity to fight for their well-being. …  I now feel the children are legally protected and in very safe hands. I feel tremendous relief and am exceedingly grateful.”

“I want to thank [Keith] for [his] deft handling of last week’s mediation… [his] approach kept the process focused on the issues of importance and the emotions in check. Although bittersweet, I am grateful that this matter is reaching closure.”

“Keith is one of the best prepared and thorough attorneys I have worked with in any  category of law.  He always acted as my advocate and even a friend when I needed him in that role.  He was honest with me at all times and never took his eye off the ball.  He was able to assess the situation from all angles and had the vision to anticipate outcomes.  In his approach to my case he always sought the best solution that could preserve the integrity of my family.  While he looked for a favorable result, he did it with full regard and respect for the ethical elements of the process.  He was a consummate professional who held me as this client accountable and never hesitated to push back in order to do the right thing. …With his help and guidance I was able to cope well and get through one of the most stressful periods of my life.”

“Keith and his firm handled my case in a very professional, competent, ethical manner. Keith had experience as a collaborative lawyer, a litigator and a mediator. I think having had experience from all these angles gave him a well-rounded perspective on how to represent me.  Keith is very smart. He is hardworking. He is ethical. He had a down to earth demeanor. And important to me, he had a heart with some compassion. These are qualities anyone would hope to find in their attorney. I have referred others to Keith, and I will continue to do so.”

“Keith did a great job of giving me a realistic picture of the entire process, whether I wanted to hear it or not. I have since recommended him multiple times for a variety of family law situations.  On the outside he has a laid-back style that makes him easy to talk to….but he also has a persistent determination to stand up for you. I appreciated Keith’s attempts to mediate and save as much of our estate as possible when the opposing attorney was not collaborative at all.”
