Keith is particularly focused on and speaks publicly about the 7th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees a person or business’s right to a jury trial in civil cases.

Keith knew from an early age that he wanted to be a lawyer. “Not only is it a highly-respected profession, but I realized that becoming a lawyer would give me a much greater opportunity to advance my community, help people and contribute to society,” he said.
