Schlichter, Shonack & Keeton, LLP

Exceptional firm. We have complete confidence in Kurt, Steve, and Jamie to protect our firm. In particular, Jamie goes the extra mile to make sure we make sharp decisions from a legal perspective, balancing risk mitigation with the needs of our business. Could not recommend more highly!

Schlichter & Shonack took on my family's case when nobody else would. Opposing party ended up settling for a life changing amount of money. If it weren't for them our case would never even have been filed. The Schlicter team believed our fight was worth fighting, cared enough to try, and had the smarts and skills to prove our case.

The following is my opinion stated under my first amendment rights. This law firm misrepresented me in a medical malpractice lawsuit after a doctor switched me off my blood pressure pill to fast and destroyed my heart. After the doctor figured out what he did to me, he wrote it in his computer but never told me and effectively sent me home to die. I later caught him hiding his prison record from the medical boards (self reporting is all they make them do) and altering my medical report after I sued him. A slam dunk right??? No way...not if Jamie has anything to do with it. Jamie Keeton turned out to be one of the most sneaky, untrustworthy , dishonest people I have ever met. At one point I was forced to fire her for lying to me. Sadly I gave her another chance. I was later forced to give up my case at trial after she totally misrepresented, lied and withheld information from me, the judge and the jury or face financial ruin. I believe she made a deal to keep 100 percent of the money vs. 40 percent by throwing my totally winable case. Why else would they make her a partner after destroying my case. I went to her seeking justice and got zero. This is a lady who bragged about losing only one million dollars for a client she represented , instead of the two million the plaintiff was seeking. What a lawyer. Do Not Hire Schlicter, Shonack and Keeton, LLP.

I simply do not have words adequate, kind, and appreciative enough to capture how grateful I am for Jamie Keeton and her entire legal team at Schlichter and Shonack, including the wonderful Kevin Wheeler, Jamie Fountain, and Kellie Baker. I found Ms. Keeton through my employer legal insurance plan and her entire legal team helped me when I was so desperate for help in a legal situation when the opposing party was trying to abuse the legal system to harass, intimidate, and financially harm my family. I spoke to Ms. Keeton after numerous phone calls and consultations with other attorneys and from the moment I spoke with her, I knew that she was brilliant, articulate, fearless, yet kind and personable. She gave me her phone number and told me I could reach out to her any time which was particularly comforting. I waited what seemed to be a very long weekend, hoping and praying that she would take my case, and when she did, I knew there was no greater advocate I could have in my corner. Kevin Wheeler was my point of contact and he advocated tirelessly for me. His words were always so patient, kind, and comforting. Being a type-A professional myself, I far too often did way too much legal research instead of leaving that up to my attorneys and then would email Kevin probably the silliest of questions in my moments of weakness and unease but he would just politely, patiently, and kindly answer my questions and always put me at ease. By the end of the ordeal, I trusted them so much that I stopped reading the opposing party's papers, stopped doing legal research, and just focused on my every day life, knowing well that my attorneys would blow them out of the water with whatever response they were preparing. This was probably the best part of having them represent me because being able to disinvolve myself from something that is particularly emotional is totally against my personality and it can be particularly destructive, especially since the whole point of hiring an attorney is so you can relax. For me, I can really only disinvolve myself if I know I am in good hands, and it only took the reading of one of their legal papers for me to know they've got it totally under control. As a professional myself, it takes a certain amount of skill to be able to handle situations in which people from outside your profession come to your office and present you with data that you know better than they do. Whenever I would be guilty of doing that, Kevin would handle it with such patience and grace, and put me at ease, letting me know they've got it handled. Jamie Fountain was also a gem. She worked tirelessly on the legal research of my case and spent so many hours on the preparation of the legal documents. Every time I would read the legal documents, I would be shocked as to how she and every one else could prepare such persuasive, brilliant arguments with so much legal precedents behind those arguments, with such tremendous efficiency as reflected in their billed hours. For Kevin Wheeler , Jamie Fountain and Kellie Baker, who are still relatively young in their career, to have such talent, I can only imagine the bright future ahead of them. It was no surprise that the entire unpleasant ordeal ended with a legal victory because of everyone's efforts. I could not be more thankful for the sequence of events that led me to Jamie Keeton of the Firm Schlichter and Shonack. While certainly there are no guarantees in any legal situation, I can guarantee that based on my experience, Jamie Keeton and her legal team, will tirelessly advocate for you in a way that is fearless, diligent, persuasive, efficient, kind, and honest. I highly recommend them.
