Following the examples of Mr. Keese and Mr. Girardi, our Los Angeles-based law firm is committed to the ideals of success, integrity, and justice.

We have been involved in some of the most groundbreaking cases in recent legal history, beginning in 1970 with the first million-dollar verdict in a medical malpractice case in California and continuing on with the $1.9 billion settlement obtained on behalf of California consumers for the fraud committed by energy companies. Thomas V. Girardi and Robert M. Keese have each tried over 100 jury cases to conclusion.

Members of Girardi & Keese are admitted to the Courts of California, Federal District and Appellate Courts, and the United States Supreme Court. Our attorneys have served as counsel in numerous cases across the country and around the world.
