Keller & Keller Lawyers Trade Courtrooms for Construction Sites

The initiative falls under the firm's Keller Cares program, which aims to integrate legal practice with neighborhood support. For the attorneys involved, the work site provided a departure from the typical office environment, focusing instead on the immediate stability of a New Mexico household. Attorney Zachary Farmer noted that the hands-on involvement reinforces the firm's "boots on the ground" approach to local service.

Managing Partner Jim Keller described the partnership as a reflection of the firm’s broader philosophy. He stated that being a effective advocate requires being a reliable neighbor, suggesting that the firm views its community service as an extension of its professional duties. By assisting in the construction of safe housing, the team sought to address the practical needs of residents, fostering a sense of shared purpose between the legal staff and the families they serve.
