Sacramento Family Law Lawyer
Overview
Keeley has practiced family law since graduating law school in 2016. Over the years, she has gained valuable experience both in and out of the courtroom.

Keeley's practice spans the entire range of family law cases, including divorce and legal separation, child and spousal support, income analysis, business valuations, division of assets and debts, custody issues, and paternity issues. Keeley is qualified to represent clients in litigation, assist clients in mediation (both as a mediator or consulting attorney), and represent clients through the collaborative divorce process.
Keeley is a Certified Family Law Specialist recognized by the State Bar of California, Board of Legal Specialization. She is committed to serving each of her clients with compassion and strength.
Outside of attorney, Keeley's other titles include DogMom, Bookworm, and Oenophile. Keeley is a world-class homebody with a knack for supervising her husband in the garden.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
