While based in Irvine, Keller/Anderle wins 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, “Jennifer can, and so often does, get parachuted in to rescue a really hot case that’s not going so well with another firm and looks like it’s going to go all the way – trials are not every firm’s forte.” 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 a federal court in January 2022 – but after Keller’s two motions to dismiss, the plaintiff withdrew their complaint.
