Patrick Bartels, Arbitration Attorney on Jul 15, 2010
Relationship: Other
I endorse this lawyer's work. Judge Keefe is without a doubt the most impressive and influential member of the Bar that I have ever had the privilege of knowing and working beside. He is highly respected by everyone who knows him, and his reputation as a well informed, hardworking, and diligent mediator goes well beyond the members of the New Jersey Bar. As an Appellate Judge he wrote several of the most progressive and important ground breaking opinions in the country. As a mediator his ability to manage and help resolve complex litigation involving multiple parties is surpassed by no one. This is why both plaintiffs and defendants look to Judge Keefe to resolve the impossible case.

Judge Keefe is one of the most intelligent people I have ever met. His understanding of the delicate balance between law, equity, and simple justice is unparalleled. He is a stalwart who makes us better lawyers and reminds us of the time when the law was not just a career, it was a calling.
