While Bradley’s primary focus is criminal law and criminal-related litigation, he oversees a 100% litigation-focused practice. As a result, Bradley has represented clients in both complex litigation and high-profile matters in both State and Federal courts.
Moreover, Bradley has represented clients who have been targets of investigation by the FBI, State and local law enforcement, the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office Grand Jury Division, the Office of the Indiana Secretary of State, the Office of the Indiana Attorney General, and other state and federal administrative agencies.
Bradley began his legal career serving as a deputy prosecuting attorney in both Marion County (Indianapolis) and Tippecanoe County (Lafayette). As a deputy prosecutor in Tippecanoe County, Bradley led the Fatal Alcohol Crash Team (FACT), served as the lead prosecutor assigned to the Tippecanoe County’s Title 9 (BMV Court), and conducted major felony prosecutions for offenses ranging from Forgery to Homicide to Narcotics Manufacturing and Dealing.
As a deputy prosecutor in Marion County, Bradley led its Fatal Alcohol Crash Team (FACT) where he was responsible for investigating and prosecuting DUI and OVWI cases involving death or serious bodily injury. In addition to prosecuting all types of misdemeanor and felony offenses, Bradley focused on fatality and serious bodily injury hit & run cases, and complex White-Collar crimes.
Additionally, he was responsible for reviewing and monitoring sobriety checkpoints and training law enforcement officers in DUI investigations, traffic stops, DUI law, administering sobriety checkpoints, and search and seizure. In his time as a prosecutor, Bradley has tried dozens of jury trials and countless bench trials and provided training to other prosecutors on DUI law, DUI prosecution, and jury selection. He has also received specific training in accident investigation/reconstruction by the Indianapolis Police Department as well as training by the United States Secret Service on the presentation of computer forensic evidence in the courtroom.

A Lawyer Who Speaks The Truth
Hired the lawyer with the most reviews from avvo. While there was nothing wrong with this lawyer there was nothing special about him to justify these "reviews" or the money that was provided to him. The result that was achieved could have been secured by a public defender, and in fact, was, to the ge...

I cannot recommend the great attorneys and staff of Keffer Barnhart enough. I was falsely accused of a horrible act. I sought their counsel, and could not be happier with their service.

Great Job
Brad helped me with my DUI. He explained the law to me, got my driving privileges back, and told me what really happens when someone gets arrested for DUI. He did a great job, and I would recommend him to anyone.
"Brad and I battled it out on a number of cases after he left the Prosecutor's Office. He is passionate, knowledgeable and a zealous advocate for every single one of his clients."
"Having experience as a defense attorney and as a deputy prosecutor, Mr. Keffer's layered knowledge and understanding of DUI's is extraordinary. His knowledge along with his persistence and thoroughness makes him an excellent choice when deciding on a criminal defense attorney."
"An extremely talented and well respected attorney in the legal community, I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer who knows the law and truly cares about protecting the rights of his clients and getting them the most favorable result possible."
