I was born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1956. I graduated from Brown University, magna cum laude, in 1978 and from Harvard Law School in 1982.

From 1982-1984, I worked at Kreindler & Kreindler in New York City, the leading firm in the country in the representation of victims of aviation accidents.

In 1984, I joined the Boston firm of Silvergate, Gertner, Fine & Good, where I became a partner in 1987, and expanded my practice to include all variety of personal injury matters, criminal defense and civil rights.

I established my own firm in 1990.

I have earned an AV Peer Review Rating through Martindale-Hubbell, a well known directory of lawyers. I also am listed in Who's Who in American Law.

I have frequently taught as a visiting instructor at Harvard Law School. I have appeared as a speaker at professional conferences, and my work has been published in professional journals, focusing in particular on the use of experts in complex civil and criminal trials.

At trial, Keith was extremely well prepared and presented a persuasive account of the facts with integrity and emotion.

The opposing lawyer often looked embarrassed when Keith's far greater preparation was obvious to the jury.

Testimonials

  • I was a client of Mr. Halpern, and I was fighting a First Degree Murder charge, along with two attempted murders and a firearm charge. There were times when I thought Mr. Halpern was against me, and trying to sell me out. But in reality, that was never the case. I realized that after a few arguments, and his telling me that he wasn’t going to give up on me. I realized that I was lucky to have someone who wanted nothing but the best for me. I was guilty of everything I was charged with. Still, Mr. Halpern fought for me like I wasn’t. No matter what I wanted to do, he was riding with me. Trial or getting a deal, he just wanted me to know what was at stake. At the end of the day, I took a deal. To be honest, it was the best deal ever for what I was facing. I would recommend Mr. Halpern any day to someone in a situation like mine. In my opinion, if you are looking for a lawyer and you are on their website, it’s important to look at how many wins they have. In my eyes, if somebody took a deal that can still be a win. It was for me. You should also check out what some of his previous clients have to say about him. I’m writing about him, so that should tell you something. I’m just blessed I was one of his clients. Mr. Halpern would never understand how grateful I am that I was represented by him. So if you’re looking for a lawyer who is going to put in overtime to make sure you come out on top, I would recommend Keith Halpern!

  • First, I would like to say that Attorney Keith Halpern saved my life, legally. The District Attorney wanted to give me a life sentence. Due to Mr. Halpern’s persistence, I was found Not Guilty by Reason of Mental Illness by a jury. Keith always kept me up to date with the way he was going to strategize my defense. He hired experts who aided in my case and were excellent witnesses. Throughout my trial, he would always ask the questions that needed to be asked. I never felt that he left anything out. He was extremely thorough. I would highly recommend using the law office of Attorney Halpern. He is very effective at achieving the best result from what could be the worst situation of your life. I owe him my life and I am extremely grateful. Thank you for reading my story and I wish you the best.
