Wonderful, caring lawyer

I hired Keeley’s law firm to initially compose legal documentation to split my deceased father’s estate, as directed by the San Diego County Administrator. After research, Keeley informed me that in her legal opinion I was entitled to the entire estate. I was eventually awarded my fathers entire esta...te, valued at $1,000,000. One year after the case closed Keeley called to inform she found an additional bank account valued at $100,000. She is not only a highly skilled, competent lawyer but also a wonderful person. Working with her was a true pleasure.

The best!

We have just come out of a long and complicated probate. During the entire process, Keeley has been very professional and understanding. My e mail questions were always answered promptly and because of that she helped me keep my frustration and anxiety to a minimum. She is a brilliant lawyer and I... highly recommend her to anyone wanting the best representation in a probate case.

Extremely Positive Handling of Brother's Probate

Keeley handled my brother's probate in a proficient and professional manner, yet was very personable and available whenever I needed to communicate with her. Although my wife and I lived in TN I feel we received the same quality of service we would have received if we lived in CA. She helped with a ...realtor who sold the house in one week, gave us some recommendations for local people to evaluate and sell my brother's belongings, etc. In short, she was wonderfully helpful and very experienced and knowledgeable about the probate process. You will not regret hiring her as your attorney.
