I care about my clients. I care about their future.
My goal is to help my clients not only in court but in their lives. I am an experienced trial attorney, thorough researcher & writer, and I take great pride in my career as a defender of the constitution and the principles this great nation was founded upon.
My role as a legal "counselor" is two-fold, I provide both legal counsel and life counsel. At the end of the day, I understand that we all make mistakes, but the way in which we address them is what matters. It is important to me to get to know my clients' life stories so that I can help identify and address any underlying issues. While defending their freedom and reputation, I help them get back on track, take pride in their successess, and provide every opportunity for growth so that they never find themselves in criminal justice system again.

Excellent defense of a client with mental health issue
Keeley was wonderful. She is well versed in legal defense not only criminal law but also with assistance geared towards people with mental health disorders. My son is a very young adult and suffered a severe mental health crisis that led to a crime and VOP that could have landed him quite a few years...

"Keeley is the type of lawyer ever criminal defendant should want, and needs, on their side. Her experience and dedication to her clients is bar none. She is dedicated to the profession, the criminal defense bar, and the Constitution. I am proud to be her colleague and to endorse her."
"I had the opportunity to handle a case in which Keeley was representing the opposing party. I make a habit of reaching out early to opposing counsel, which has mixed results, depending on the opposing attorney. Keeley was not only highly professional and courteous during that initial contact, but she recognized the opportunity to further her client's interests by capitalizing on the opportunity to engage in meaningful settlement discussions. Through the negotiations, I had no doubt that Keeley was a zealous advocate who was prepared to litigate the matter if negotiated resolution proved unachievable. In my opinion, Keeley is a true warrior for her clients, who considers the avenues available and applies them skillfully to achieve a successful outcome."
"Every time I see Ms. Karatinos in court she is always in attack mode. I frequently contact her to bounce ideas off of her, and to run my crazy, outside-the-box ideas by her. I would happily refer her cases anytime I have a conflict."
"Ms. Karatinos is a zealous advocate for her clients, exercising diligence and professionalism in her representation on their behalf. I endorse this lawyer."
"I highly endorse this lawyer. She is a young, aggressive attorney who loves the courtroom challenge. Very well-prepared and patient. Reminds me of myself 30 years ago. Seems to have the same “Never let them see you coming” strategy as Pacino in Devil’s Advocate. It worked well for me and she is perfecting it. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tdQ3aXO4gys"
"I strongly endorse this lawyer. Keeley is a gifted advocate who is committed to her clients, passionate about the law, and incredibly knowledgeable. I envy her ability to anticipate the arguments of opposing counsel and the ease with which she conquers the most complex legal issues. I cannot endorse her strongly enough and if I ever needed representation in her area of expertise I would not hesitate to retain her services. You can be confident if she is in your corner."
"I have known Keeley since law school. We often collaborate and share ideas. She is more thorough than any defense lawyer I have ever worked with. Her commitment to her clients is never-ending. Keeley is truly an exceptional attorney."
"I highly recommend Keeley Karatinos to anyone who is looking for an honest, knowledgeable, top notch attorney. Keely is very professional and hard-working yet very approachable, kind and personable. Keeley has impressive legal expertise and charisma. She is also a caring and compassionate person. I have known Keeley for several years and I can fully recommend her without any reservations!"
"I wholeheartedly endorse my friend and colleague, Keeley. Keeley is a tireless, creative and compassionate advocate and always demonstrates the utmost professionalism. She is precisely the person I would trust to handle a difficult legal matter for a loved one."
