Kathryn Keppel

Her experience with the firm began even earlier, as she worked at GRGB as a law clerk from March 1985 through May 1986 during law school.

Kathy has a diverse practice area. She is the firm’s lead appellate attorney and has authored scores of appellate and trial court briefs in all areas of GRGB’s practice. Known as the firm's “wordsmith,” she provides a distinctive written voice to her briefs. Kathy has successfully briefed winning appeals in matters as diverse as contract interpretation, spousal support, criminal and civil rights cases, and procedural matters.
