About

 If you have been injured, you need an attorney who understands your concerns, who can guide you through this life changing event and will directly work with you to seek a positive resolution to your claim. Sweeney Julian recruited Bill Keller to join the firm earlier this year and soon after he moved back to South Bend from Seattle. Bill wanted to find a practice where he could focus solely on working with injured people, and Sweeney Julian was the perfect fit.Prior to joining Sweeney Julian, Bill was a Partner in the firms Moran & Keller PLLC, and MWW PLLC, where the practice focused on personal injury and high-stakes commercial litigation. Bill started his legal career as an associate at the law firm of LeGros Buchanan & Paul, where he defended the interests of fishing vessels, tug boats, shipping companies and other marine interests. During that time, Bill learned the ins and outs of how insurance companies and defendants evaluate claims and aggressively seek to intimidate injured persons from fully exercising their rights to a reasonable recovery.Bill received his B.A. as a double major in Political Science and History from Linfield College in McMinnville, Oregon in 1995. Thereafter, Bill graduated with a J.D. from the University of Notre Dame Law School, where he was selected as a member of the Moot Court Appellate board.Bill has litigated cases at the trial, appellate and Supreme Court level, including most recently having won two cases argued in front of the Washington Supreme Court defending the Constitutional Rights of his clients in Akrie v. T-Mobile et al, and Dillon v. Seattle Deposition Reporters. Bill was named a Rising Star for three straight years by Washington Law & Politics magazine, an honor awarded to less than 2.5 percent of lawyers in the state based upon peer recognition, ethical standards and recognition for achievement in the legal field.Bill has handled personal injury cases from intake to verdict as counsel for both plaintiffs and defendants, but after many years of seeing a system which focuses on accepting premiums and denying claims Bill is 100 percent dedicated to helping injured people exercise their rights.

I am very happy with Sweeney Julian. From start to finish, I felt supported by the staff and lawyers. There were times when I felt like I was ready to give up, but they kept fighting for me. In the end, it was totally worth it.

Frank was great. My expectations were exceeded. I was extremely happy, even though filing a lawsuit can be stressful. I never thought I would have to! I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

We got all of the answers and support we needed, with great response times, typically immediately, answering our many questions. I strongly suggest hiring him. He will fight for you and take the burden off your shoulders. I highly recommend Attorney William!

I couldn't have asked for a better experience following my car accident. Elliot and his team worked hard on my case for over a year, explained every step of the process, and communicated openly with me throughout. They clearly explained all of my options, and make sure I understood all decisions we were making as a team. I would absolutely recommend William Arthur Keller! Thank you SO much for everything!

I was very pleased and happy when my case finally came to an end. I would like to thank William who helped on my case. They took the time to speak with me and to understand my case I feel as if the representation from the commercials to in person is accurate and comforting to know that I have honest hard-working team behind.

Bill is a superb attorney. He is personable and smart. He knows how to try and a case and he knows how to get the insurance company to settle a case. I highly recommend him.

Bill is fantastic. This is a lawyer that is nice to his clients and while being tough with the insurance companies. I am very pleased with Bill and his paralegal Angela. The settlement was fast and fantastic.

I've known Bill for nearly 15 years and worked on several cases with him. Bill is honest and hard-working. Importantly, he is also practical in how he approaches the legal issues he faces. Bill has left Seattle's legal community, but I am sure he will do well in his new hometown. I would not hesitate to hire Bill.

Our fishing company works with a lot of lawyers, 90% litigation, and its a huge distraction to business. Sometimes we are required by insurers to use cheapo brand x or y, who are always looking out for their insurers but never the client, really. But when we need the best and we can choose, we choose our most trusted: Bill Keller. Mr. Keller is exceptionally talented and has the positive qualities that are rare in the legal business. He is the hardest working, and almost the smartest, lawyer we know. He has handled the hardest cases in the toughest business, the Alaska commercial fishing business, and has always done so with a good attitudes and great results. We wish he was still on the west coast. Indiana clients are lucky to have him.

Bill was great. He met with me and immediately helped me feel better about my situation. He is a very nice and approachable guy. He was always available for me to discuss the case, and if he wasn't Frank Julian was.
