About Keith
Biography
Keith Evra is currently with The Stoddard Firm where he specializes in litigation on behalf of those who have suffered catastrophic injuries. Keith has extensive experience representing victims in:
- premises liability (i.e. slip & fall, burn injuries, building defects);
- product liability claims;
- car wrecks;
- tractor trailer collisions;
- dram shop act; and
- wrongful death
Keith was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. He attended the University of Georgia where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice. After college, Keith returned home and continued his education at Georgia State University College of Law. During school in both Athens and Atlanta, he gained valuable experience with several prestigious internships, including the Athens-Clarke County Public Defender Office, Office of the Georgia Capital Defender, and DeKalb County Public Defender Office.
Once he became a member of the State Bar of Georgia, Keith devoted his first five years of practice at a boutique firm representing clients often charged with very serious offenses. Some of those cases eventually evolved into major civil cases recovering large settlements on behalf of those who were innocently accused of crimes they did not commit. With this same passion, Keith joined The Stoddard Firm in order to continue that battle exclusively by recovering damages on behalf of those that are wronged by others.
He is trained in criminal and personal injury litigation. Keith has experience in entertainment law, such as drafting and reviewing contracts. He has proudly represented veterans, doctors, best-selling authors, students, police officers, judges and many others in a variety of legal matters.
