About Keith
Biography
I believe in helping people. I enjoy thinking differently and finding new ways to solve problems. I enjoy fighting for my clients' rights, questioning convention and always treating clients fairly. I beleive in justice and finding a just result for my clients.
I am a good listener and provide strong counsel when needed. I have worked at many different law firms, big and small, so I know what works well for clients and what does not.
I am also a father of two boys and have been married to my wife for 19 years. I enjoy spending time outside with my family, working in the yard and going to baseball games.
