Judge Keefe is the very best

Nowhere will you find the level of professionalism and excellence practiced by Judge John Keefe. He is outstanding. He put my family at ease in dealing with our mediation and exceeded our expectations with the outcome. I would recommend him to anyone seeking mediation or council.

Arbitration lawyer | Jul 15

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."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
