About Teresa
Biography
Since I was a child I defended the underdog, getting myself into trouble by fighting battles that weren’t my own. Bullies, schoolyard thieves, and other would-be wrongdoers were never a match for my sense of justice and my willingness to stand up for the little guy. I just can’t mind my own business when I see injustice, so the law was the perfect path for me. Every day I can take pride in the fact that my job is to take care of people who for one reason or another can’t stand up for themselves. I am dedicated to helping you and your loved one through life’s legal battles.

Teresa made my difficult divorce easier!
Teresa was an incredible help to me during my divorce. She helped me understand what my options were and helped me to actually understand what those options meant!

Look No Further and Pick Teresa!

She promptly spoke to me and was able to give me the much needed lawful reassurance I was seeking. I only had a few exchanges with Teresa in total but every time she was prompt, professio...
Teresa Thais Keene's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have known Teresa for many years and am quite familiar with the excellent work that she does for her clients. She is knowledgeable, friendly, hard working, and not afraid of any challenge. I highly recommend her for any Whitman County legal need."
"I wholeheartedly endorse Ms. Keene."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Teresa was instrumental in changing the atmosphere at the Public Defenders Regarding Felony First appearances. Those hearings often decide the life or death of a case. Because of her hard worked she restored many citizens lives, jobs and family life from oppressive bail/bond requirements. She is the GoTo Gal In Colfax!"
"Teresa and I worked together at the Public Defender's office in Spokane and again at a small firm. She shows consistent dedication to her client's cause and impeccable character. You can trust Teresa to tell you the truth of what you are facing and tell you what you need to hear, rather than what will make you feel best. Teresa is a great lawyer."
