You will not be disappointed by selecting Bob.
Bob is very knowledgeable and thorough. He knows the questions to ask and the items to include. We worked through a number of items that we required and then a couple we didn't realize had left us exposed. Bob was patient and responded quickly to all our follow up questions - even those coming on a weekend from across the country. He is a caring and kind person that clearly enjoys what he does - and excels at it.

We hired Bob to help put our Trust together because he has worked with our parents who have always been pleased with his work in helping them with their Trusts and real estate transaction. He is very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Bob is willing to meet at our home which makes it easier for our elderly parents to meet with him.

Working with Bob on our trust and estates documents was a very pleasant and easy experience. He is a great guy and his breadth of knowledge in the field was obvious. He was also incredibly thorough in his approach; he listened to our needs and patiently explained all options, making helpful recommendations where appropriate. And he communicated with us every step of the way, so we knew what to expect throughout the process. We found his fees to be extremely reasonable as well. All in all, we highly recommend Bob for any and all trust and estates needs.

Bob is one of the best attorneys that I have had the privilege of working with in my Real Estate Career. By having Robert a part of your team, you immediately get a "peace of mind", knowing the closing process will be that much easier. Also we worked on a commercial deal which requires much more attention to detail. He is extremely easy to reach during all hours of the day and extremely savvy when it comes to technology. I cannot wait to do more deals in the future with Bob, he is going to to be a big part of my real estate and estate dealings in the near future. I would give Bob 100 stars, however

Bob worked as our attorney for more than 3 property's over the span of a year, I have never meet a harder working and caring attorney. He went though everything with a fine tooth comb, was easy to get ahold of over the weekends and was just a very nice and kind person to work with. I would highly recommend Bob. I had talked to just about 4 attorneys before me and my spouse went with Bob because he just seemed to be the nicest and more genuine than the others. Prices where also about the same between all of them, that we had talked to, and we couldn't be more happy that we used Bob.

I have known Bob for many years and he is an excellent lawyer. His Real Estate expertise has helped me and my clients. His estate planning is thorough and clear, easy to understand. Bob goes the extra mile for his clients because he really cares about them. When my clients need legal assistance and it is not something that Bob specializes in, he does not leave you hanging. He goes the extra step to send you in the right direction. I recommend him to all my clients - yes he is that good.

Bob has worked with our family for many years, starting with my parents trusts and estates to just recently helping us through a home sale and the stress of building a custom home and all that entails. Bob saved us several times with his meticulous nature and detail oriented attitude. By reading every word of our land contract thoroughly, Bob realized it was mistakenly classified in a flood zone. If he hadn’t caught that error, it would have created many other problems including us spending more money than we needed to. I would feel comfortable recommending Robert Kealy to anyone for knowledgeable

Bob Kealy is an outstanding attorney and an even better person. He expertly walked me through all the details of estate planning and made sure I understood my options so I could make informed decisions. He is detailed oriented, trustworthy and professional. Bob was always willing to answer my many questions and it was evident that he put great thought into the work he was doing for me. Because of my experience, I trust him implicitly and have enthusiastically recommended him to my family and friends who are looking for someone to assist with their estate planning. Bob treats you like an extension
