While based in Irvine, Keller/Anderle generates acclaim from all over California and, in some cases, attends to matters that resonate nationally. The firm is specifically noted for its zealous trial-forward ethos, embodied by its founding partner and center of gravity, Jennifer Keller, a “fierce” trial lawyer. “They are an excellent firm, and Jennifer is amazing,” testifies a peer. “She gets brought in on a big case when it looks like it’s going to go to trial! They also do appellate work, but it really is more trial-centric. And they WIN!” Another contemporary confirms, “My favorite trial lawyer if I had to pick one is Jennifer Keller. I love her story, it’s a lot like mine. She was a public defender, she was in the gutter of the legal business, [dealing with] the blue-collar cases, and she has learned her craft that way and has learned how to speak to juries. She’s my hero.” Displaying a remarkable versatility in her trial prowess, and often on compressed timelines, Keller represented actor Kevin Spacey Fowler in a lawsuit filed by two plaintiffs actor Anthony Rapp and another anonymous plaintiff regarding alleged incidents that happened in the early to mid-1980s. The case was tried to a jury in October 2022 in the Southern District of New York. After five years of intense litigation and a jury trial, Spacey was unanimously found not liable after a mere 30 minutes. Keller is also representing Calvin Broadus – aka Snoop Dogg – against sexual battery allegations that were filed just four days before the Super Bowl where Snoop was performing with fellow rapper Dr. Dre. The plaintiff originally filed in Federal Court in January 2022 but after Keller’s two motions to dismiss, the plaintiff withdrew their complaint.
