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.

A great, trusted lawyer

As two of 4 trustees of a family trust, and one of us being an attorney, we worked closely with Ms. Luhnow and saw firsthand her professionalism and expertise. She filed a conservatorship that the 4 trustees sought for my mother. Ms. Luhnow knows family and conservatorship law very well and always ...clearly explained what we needed to do and the process for obtaining the conservatorship. There was great conflict among 10 children and two of them obtained their own attorneys and filed competing petitions for the conservatorship. Ms. Luhnow did a great job of being calm and professional in dealing with all of the children and the attorneys. She filed the necessary paperwork, presented witnesses and successfully obtained the conservatorship we needed in our favor. Ms. Luhnow is great to work with, she answers her phone calls and emails promptly,and you always know she is on your side and working hard for you. You will not be disappointed in having Ms..Luhnow represent you. Raquel and Jorge Carrillo

Keeley, My Probate Lawyer / Brothers Estate

Keeley guided me every step of the way through many highly complicated procedures as things developed and made it seem so simple. Although I was an out of state person she always made herself available in short notice and could confide in her like you would to a very close friend.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
