As a former Superior Court Judge, and the father of a daughter with a traumatic brain injury, I know both the professional and the personal difficulties of dealing with catastrophic injuries. Because of her injury, I have devoted my practice to representing people in that same situation, and I am committed to obtaining the maximum recovery possible for my clients, in order to provide them with a higher quality of life for many years into the future.

M. Noe, a client
Keegan Federal represented me recently in an action against Publix Supermarkets, Inc. I had been injured at one of their stores when shelved collapsed on me. I was a 79-yr old disabled retired woman. He took my case through a lengthy and acrimonious process. We prevailed. I came to trust and rely upon Keegan Federal completely. I recommend him without reservation. He will see you through.
