I have practiced probate law since 2002, including filing probate matters in counties all over the state of California. I am happy to assist you with your probate or trust matter, or with beneficiary representation. I do not take contested matters and I no longer practice in conservatorships or guardianships.
I can arrange a virtual meeting with you by MS Teams, Zoom or various other means, including telephone.
I was co-chair of the San Diego County Bar Association Elder Law section in 2006-2007, co-chair of the San Diego County Bar Association Estate Planning, Trust and Probate Section in 2013-2014 and chair of the San Diego Probate Bench-Bar Committee in 2015. I have been an editor and contributing author of the San Diego County Probate Handbook, published by Probate Attorneys of San Diego, every year it has been published since 2015.
I am a “superb” rated (10/10) attorney on . My organizational affiliations include: Probate Attorneys of San Diego, San Diego County Bar Association Elder Law section and Estate Planning, Trust and Probate section, San Diego Superior Court Probate Bench-Bar Committee, and the California State Bar Association Trust and Probate section. I received my B.A. in history from California State University, San Marcos and my law degree from Wake Forest University School of Law in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

"I have known and worked with Keeley on a few matters of the years. She is competent, diligent, and a strong advocate. I endorse her."

I am personally aware of her work ethic and her diligence as a lawyer. I have referred several people to her over the years, as she is well respected and well versed in estate planning, probate and elder law. I endorse this lawyer."
"Keeley is a highly skilled and formidable opponent in the courtroom. While having great skills as an advocate, she is a real person, easy to speak with, great with clients. If I found myself needing counsel on a trust and estates matter, I personally would call Keeley first."

"Keeley is razor sharp and meticulous. I have referred virtually every conservatorship matter to her. She has been an incredible resource to my firm and to the clients I have referred to her."
