According to Benchmark Litigation: “This elite group of practitioners were recognized as the best in breed for the coveted and in-demand, yet increasingly rare, art of trial law based upon peer and client review as well as these attorneys’ lead role in spearheading some of the most high-stakes and high-profile cases to make their way to the trial level.” Benchmark Litigation is the “definitive guide to America’s leading litigation firms and attorneys. It is the only publication to focus exclusively on U.S. litigation.”

She has received innumerable awards for excellence as a trial lawyer and excels at “bet the company” litigation. Ms. Keller is a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers, widely considered the most significant honor a trial attorney in North America can receive. Ms. Keller is a fellow of the Litigation Counsel of America, an invitation-only organization limited to the top one-half of one percent of the nation’s attorneys. Ms. Keller is also active in the community. She is the former President of the Orange County Bar Association and serves as a Trustee of Chapman University. She counts as present and former clients a number of judges, public officials, law enforcement officers, CEOs, CFOs, lawyers, physicians, professional athletes, venture capitalists and entrepreneurs.
