Matt Keenan is one of the best lawyers in the profession. He is an excellent litigator who knows how to win in court. I've had the privilege of working with Matt on an array of different legal matters that include murder, drugs, and dui's. Regarding all of these matters, Matt displayed outstanding legal research and trial preparation skills. If a case is not likely to go to trial, Matt is also an exceptional negotiator who can get favorable results for his clients. If I ever need an attorney, Matt will be the first person I call. I strongly endorse this lawyer.

Matt is a results oriented attorney that knows the ins and outs of criminal and education law. I have worked on many matters with Matt with very favorable results. He communicates equally well with clients, other attorneys and most importantly, judges. He is well respected in the legal community.

I highly recommend Mr. Keenan. I have personally observed him aggressively defend his clients in court. I watched him cross-examine a police officer who crumbled under the pressure of his vigorous and pointed questions, resulting in a "not guilty" verdict. His creativity and engaging communication skills make him an ideal advocate. He will never rush a case or be pressured into quick pleas. He carefully evaluates every case to determine the best course of action, and he works tirelessly to obtain the best possible results. He is well-equipped with the skills and courage to take the case all the way to trial and make the prosecution prove its case, yet he possesses the wisdom to know when the evidence warrants an aggressive plea bargain. He remains passionate about his cases and clients, despite the many years he has practiced. Few lawyers with Mr. Keenan’s tenacity have such integrity and sensitivity to go along with these skills.
