I've known Carla for many years and opposed her on several matters while she was an Assistant US attorney. She is an attorney of great skill and of the highest integrity. She has my unqualified endorsement.

Carla Bressler Keehn is a phenomenal lawyer! I have witnessed first hand Ms. Keehn's legal skills for decades. She is possessed of a humanitarian's heart, a keen intellect and a natural ease with people from all backgrounds and walks of life. She is more than a lawyer - she is a true advocate!

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I endorse this lawyer. Carla and I were opposing counsel on a dozen or more cases over the last almost 20 years. I have always found that she acted with honesty and integrity. If you are looking for counsel that you can trust, Carla is who I would recommend.
