Personal injury lawyer | Jun 20

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Chris is a terrific attorney who focuses on helping injured children. I had the pleasure of working with Chris as co-counsel for a kid who received a head injury at an after-school program. Chris has the experience, intuition, persistence and compassion for his clients that consistently gets excellent results. He is tough in fighting for the injured kids he helps, but he is great to work with and is also a very nice person. We obtained a great result for our client in a difficult case in a very conservative county in Texas. I highly recommend Chris for any case involving an injured child."

Child abuse lawyer | Jul 01

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I defended a particularly tragic medical malpractice/wrongful death case against Chris Keane, and found him to be an extraordinary lawyer. He was always prepared, always smart, always ahead of where he needed to be in the case at any given time, and always a gentleman in his dealings with those involved in the litigation. He developed his case straightforwardly, thoroughly, and honestly. Chris has both superior legal skills and superior people skills, and is the kind of lawyer I would want for my family or myself if the need arose."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Chris Keane is a fantastic attorney. In almost 20 years of practice, I have never worked with an attorney so hardworking and well-prepared. Chris always has access to, and appropriate support from, the nation's finest experts. He gets the most out of difficult cases, often receiving settlements and verdicts well in excess of what the typical attorney might hope for. I can unequivocally endorse Chris for any very serious injury case that a client may have, or that any referral attorney might come across. Finally, and most importantly, Chris is a great guy, fighting relentlessly for children and injured people."

Child abuse lawyer | Jun 18

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"When it comes to representing injured babies and children, attorney Chris Keane is one of the very best in the entire United States. His experience on these cases is second to none and his track record of significant settlements and jury verdicts is impressive to say the least. Best of all, he handles his cases with such a high degree of integrity that he has great credibility with judges and even his opposing attorneys. Because Chris has devoted his entire professional practice to helping injured children, his knowledge of the law the the remedies availate to children is special. Not only does he work to secure the best possible compensation for an injured child, but he also goes to extraordinary elngths to protect those funds in the future. He works to set up trusts and payments that will provide for the care and security of an injured child for their lifetime. In my opinion, if Chrise Keane aggrees to accept your case, you are very fortunate."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I would highly recommend attorney Chris Keane to any parent or guardian seeking the best possible legal representation for an injured baby or child. He has a well-deserved national reputation for his work in child injury cases, child abuse cases, shaken baby syndrome cases, and medical malpractice cases. The results that he has achieved in these cases are simply staggering. Most importantly, Chris limits the number of cases that he accepts so that he can devote his full time and attention to each client. He truly cares about his clients and handles their cases with tremendous compassion. As a lawyer, he has achieved an elite status amoung the top trial lawyers in the United States and is at the forefront in representing injured children. The fact that Chris only handles cases invovling child injuries is the best evidence of his interest to protect the most innocement members of our society and to protect their legal rights. I give him the highest possible recommendation."
