Over eighteen years ago I opened my first law office based on the belief that an attorney's reputation means everything and that a reputation for integrity, dependability and compassion must be earned one case at a time and one client at a time. Each person that comes through my door is deserving of respect and judgment-free counsel. Every person that becomes my client will receive diligent, effective and zealous representation. While I enjoy practicing law in several different fields and in many different courts throughout the state, the common thread throughout my practice is my commitment to always put my client's wellbeing first and to always listen to their goals, hopes and concerns when shaping case objectives and strategy. Client-centered representation begins with careful listening built upon a foundation of trust. Everyone is entitled to just and fair treatment when dealing with our legal system; I strive every day to make that aspiration a reality for every person that I accept as my client.
Please call me to discuss your case. I will give you a fair, frank assessment of your case and tell you how I believe that I can help you. Should I feel that I am not the right attorney for your case, I will politely and promptly decline representation so you can continue searching. Some attorneys will over-promise during your initial meetings, and then ultimately under-deliver and disappoint you. As a prospective client, you deserve to hear the strengths as well as the weaknesses about your case. Some other attorneys may engage in high-pressure sales tactics or try to frighten you into quickly retaining them. I do not approve of such marketing tactics. I will patiently listen to your personal story and clearly explain my legal fees for your case and allow you as much time as you need to decide whether to retain me. In fact, I often encourage potential clients that have clearly been "attorney shopping" to feel free to call around to obtain other estimates before I draft my attorney fee agreement. I am confident about the quality of my legal services, the depth of my knowledge, my ability to research any unique legal problem that may arise, and my ability to secure you a fair and just trial. Moreover, I am confident that the flat fees and hourly rates that I charge for my legal services are well within community standards and commensurate with my decade of hard-won experience. I'm sure you will find that in many cases my attorney fees will be more affordable and a better value than my competition.

Tom is an exceptional attorney. I hired Tom to represent me and he handled my case with perfection. He has a deep knowledge of the law and the results of my case speak for themselves. His communication with me was always prompt, informative and respectful. I recommend Tom without reservation.

With my case, Tom was able to get a DUI reduced to reckless driving! He told me what I needed to do and then he negotiated with the prosecutor to get a reduced charge and sentence. He made the entire experience much better than expected and I would recommend him to anyone that is facing any criminal ...

"I endorse this lawyer. Tom provides outstanding representation to his clients. He is an aggressive and thorough advocate with a depth of experience. I have consistently referred employment law cases to Tom and the feedback from my clients has been overwhelmingly positive. He does a great job."
"Tom and I were co-counsel on a very difficult case, and I could not have asked for better in a partnership. He was very focused in a case where complexity could have thrown many lawyers into disarray. We dealt with a case of the highest seriousness, and that fact might have caused egos to flare and case preparation to be made secondary, but it did not. Tom's demeanor and professionalism impressed me. I also watched Tom in court on and off for a couple of years in Grays Harbor County, and can say that he cares about his clients and attends to the small details that criminal defense work abounds in. I'd recommend him without hesitation."
"Thomas Keehan is a trial attorney of considerable experience. Since becoming licensed to practice in Washington state, he has represented clients from a wide range of backgrounds aggressively and skillfully. Not only is his knowledge of the law impressive, he is remarkably gifted at making complex legal principles understandable to the average layperson. I have personally witnessed his courtroom technique since approximately 2005, and have found him to be a most compelling and persuasive lawyer. Unlike many other trial attorneys, Mr. Keehan does not merely go through the motions in hopes of achieving a satisfactory settlement. Rather, he fights very hard every inch of the way to get results that are both fair and just. He gets along well with nearly everyone in the legal community, from judges and court employees to opposing counsel, and is down-to-earth and easy to talk to—a tireless advocate who relates well to people of all walks of life. I would unhesitatingly recommend him."
"I endorse this lawyer. Tom Keehan is a top notch, honest, dedicated and hard working attorney. He regularly obtains favorable results for his clients. He has a stellar reputation with judges, colleagues and adversaries. His ethics are above reproach. I can recommend Mr. Keehan without any reservation."
"I endorse this lawyer. Besides being an excellent lawyer, Tom is one of my favorite people. He is honest, hard working, and does an excellent job for his clients. He provides vigorous representation while maintaining the highest of professional standards. He's a man of his word and he's mentally tough."
"I wholeheartedly endorse Tom in the area of criminal defense. He has an advanced understanding of the critical legal issues in criminal law. I would trust him to defend me and protect my interests if I were ever in need. More importantly, Tom is a great person and easy to work with. I have referred clients to him in the past and will gladly do so in the future."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have practiced law with Tom for seven years. He is a very thoughtful, kind-hearted person who cares for the future and well-being of his clients and the people around him. Tom is well-regarded in the local bar association as an attorney who maintains a strong sense of honesty and integrity. He always has a deep understanding of the facts and law before him and advocates his client's interests to the court with compassion. I would hire Tom if my own personal circumstances required it."
