Cases
While Keenan said in 2007 that "1986 was the last year the firm closed a file without a recovery," his record has included both ups and downs. His firm has lost cases in that time, such as one in 1999 involving Cobb County pediatricians.
In 1993, he founded the Keenan’s Kids Foundation, a charity for at-risk children in Georgia for which Keenan performs pro bono work. They launched the Keenan's Kids Law Center in 2001. In his cases, he is known for both court room spectical and for eccentricity in his case preparation, including overnight home visits.

Famous quotes containing the word cases:
“I do not believe in lawyers, in that mode of attacking or defending a man, because you descend to meet the judge on his own ground, and, in cases of the highest importance, it is of no consequence whether a man breaks a human law or not. Let lawyers decide trivial cases.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In most cases a favorite writer is more with us in his book than he ever could have been in the flesh; since, being a writer, he is one who has studied and perfected this particular mode of personal incarnation, very likely to the detriment of any other. I should like as a matter of curiosity to see and hear for a moment the men whose works I admire; but I should hardly expect to find further intercourse particularly profitable.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
“After all, the practical reason why, when the power is once in the hands of the people, a majority are permitted, and for a long period continue, to rule is not because they are most likely to be in the right, nor because this seems fairest to the minority, but because they are physically the strongest. But a government in which the majority rule in all cases cannot be based on justice, even as far as men understand it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
