Our family did not have a good experience with Karen Keaton. My advice to anyone having a Trust set up: 1-Never use a lawyer recommended by your financial adviser. Find an independent one. 2-Research your lawyer. Read reviews. See if they have been disciplined by a state licensing authority. 3-Read and understand what you are signing. Don't assume they are being honest and up front with you. Bring a knowledgeable trusted person with you to explain anything that isn't clear to you. 4-Stay clear of this practice if you're looking for ethical, professional, knowledgeable help. We used Legacy Protection Lawyers and were extremely pleased with them.

Trust is the foundation for all productive and meaningful relationships. I met Attorney Karen Keaton and Denyse Kruse with Gulf Beaches Law, PA a few years ago and have enjoyed my professional relationship with them respectively. This Law Firm gets my highest rating for good reason.

Karen and Denyse operate with honesty, character and determination. They have consistently demonstrated superior legal intelligence, with clear guidance, balanced with compassion. The attorneys and staff work as a team on behalf of clients.

My association with the firm began with them assisting me with my Will and Trusts shortly after moving to Florida from Texas. This valuable relationship continues to grow and expand into other practice areas of service they offer. Gulf Beaches Law is a firm you can trust.

Denyse is very knowledgeable and kind! She helped us settle my father’s estate and was especially deft at handling sensitive family issues that can arise at such times. We highly recommend her services.

I highly recommend Denyse Kruse for anything related to elder law! She has been loving, kind, compassionate, & patient with us. Especially with our Mom. She spoke in terms we could understand & made a difficult process so much easier. She is the perfect mixture of professionalism & compassion. There aren't enough words of appreciation for Denyse!

Denyse is a blessing to anyone looking for an elder law attorney . I am POA for my best friend of over 30 years . She immediately recognized what was done incorrectly by the other attorney and has found ways to correct her trust , POA etc. , to protect my friend from the parade of unscrupulous people that have taken advantage of her over the past 10 years . She knows elder law and is up to date with all the new changes. You will not regret the decision .

My wife has been a client of Gulf Beaches Law for 10-12 years and suggested that we use them for our estate planning after our marriage 2 years ago. We have worked with both Karen Keaton and Denyse Kruse and have found them attentive, available and responsive. They are patient, answer our nit-picky concerns in plain language and offer a range of solutions with explanations along with their recommendations. We are very pleased.
