Through trial and on appeal, I have successfully defended professionals, corporations, and individuals in a broad range of civil litigation matters, including professional malpractice, business and property disputes, construction, aviation, defamation, and similar matters.. I am based in Charlotte, North Carolina, but represent clients across the Carolinas, from the SC beaches to the NC mountains, and beyond.  We aggressively and creatively defend our clients' individual, specific cases, while maintaining the highest ethical standards.. I generally do not bring lawsuits on behalf of injured persons, outside of property or business disputes.  We do not work on contingency.

I have practiced law since 1986 in Missouri. My discipline concerned someone taking something from a file in 1999, but was not found out about until 2004. When I found out this information, I clearly was wrong in believing it to be covered by a court order from California, thinking the information was told to me in attorney-client privilege.. Prior to 2006 I had the highest rating an attorneyt can have, AV+. My discipline in Colorado was based upon recipriocity, and is unrelated to anything done wrong in Colorado.. The majority of my practice is based on referrals form other lawyers who know my skills and understand I mad a mistake in the past , which had nothing to do with my capabilities as an attorney,. If given the chance, you will find me to be very straight-forward and understand how to evaulate, prepare, and try medical malpractice cases, and litigation in general.

I am passionate about what I do.  It is my honor to be a trial lawyer and assist people who have been injured by the negligence of another.  My experience as a medical malpractice attorney gives me unique insights and experience in dealing with any catastrophic injury or death case.. When you retain me to represent you, you get me, not an associate or an assistant.  I will take full control over every aspect of your case and give it my personal attention.  In my experience, this gives me an advantage over my opponents because I have handled every aspect of your case myself, rather than allowing a less experienced attorney to handle some matters and then try to understand what occurred later.

My motto is simple - work hard, do good, and keep smiling!

I'm a lifelong Clevelander who loves this city and treasures the ability to represent people across the Greater Cleveland area. I take pride in overcoming the odds and championing the cause that others view as too daunting a challenge. Practicing for several years, I like to take a pragmatic, attentive, and aggressive approach to all my cases.

My work in the field of aviation litigation has allowed me to connect and help families who lost loved ones in an aviation crash, or have been severely injured in a crash.  The months and years following a unexpected accident can be overwhelming.  I am blessed to have a trial team of partners in my firm, a case manager and paralegal that have been with the firm for many years.  We work as a team in walking clients through the litigation process to find the answers they need as to what happened, and why it happened.  Together we try to make a difference, so a similar fate does not happen to another family.

Fewer Clients.  More Attention.  Better Results.. Many firms take on as many cases as possible, quickly losing sight of the individual client(s) and his, her of their specific losses and harms.  That has never been my philosophy of practicing law, and it never will be.  People contact medical malpractice, wrongful death and catastrophic personal injury attorneys like myself when tragedy strikes and when they need help the most.  They want assurance that they will get the personalized attention they deserve, as opposed to merely being treated like a number or simply "handled" as just one case among a multitude of cases.  The Keefe Law Firm, LLC takes on significant causes, not merely cases, and is rooted in providing personal and individualized legal representation, one cause at a time.. I am a lifelong and proud Ohioan.  I was born in Cleveland Heights and was raised both there and then later in Geauga County.  I attended college at Miami University and started as a Psychology Major in hopes of helping people better themselves.  After being exposed to a few terrific undergraduate law professors, I found my true calling in the law--a field where I could be both a counselor and an advocate.  I attended Case Western Reserve University School of Law and have been a very well-respected and practicing attorney in Ohio for the past 18 years.  I am proud to actively represent clients in Cuyagoga, Geauga, Medina, Summit, Lake, Portage, Mahoning, Ashtabula and other counties throughout Ohio.. What I have valued most throughout my legal career, and what I will continue to value the most, are the significant and ongoing relationships I have formed with my diverse clients.  To me, this is the essence of what practicing law is all about.
