Keri is a top choice for clients facing complex business disputes involving a wide range of subject matters, including real property, contracts, torts, employment and municipal matters. Having represented clients from an array of industries, Keri is uniquely positioned to skillfully assess each case and develop a creative and effective litigation strategy.  Keri is a compelling and pragmatic advocate for her clients, guiding them through discovery, mediation, and trial with confidence and assurance.

Keri also devotes significant time to representing clients in transactional matters, including business formations, business sales and acquisitions, land use and zoning, estate planning and probate matters, and title matters stemming from tax sales.

Keri was included as one of Georgia’s Rising Stars of Business Litigation in 2022, 2023, and 2024 by Super Lawyers and was included among the Best Lawyers in America© for Commercial Litigation and Real Estate Litigation in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. In 2021, the Home Builders Association of Georgia honored Keri with the Shining Star award, which recognizes “the commitment of a behind-the-scenes industry superstar,” for her work in challenging certain county zoning ordinances as unconstitutional and exclusionary.

Keri graduated from the University of Georgia with degrees in English and Spanish languages. Before attending the University of Georgia School of Law, Keri worked with International Justice Mission in the NGO’s La Paz, Bolivia, field office, where she worked under Bolivian attorneys prosecuting cases of child sexual abuse.

While in law school, Keri was elected to the Executive Board of the Georgia Law Review, where she authored and published Taking a Toll on the Equities: Governing the Effect of the PLRA’s Exhaustion Requirement on State Statutes of Limitations, 47 Ga. L. Rev. 1321 (2013). Keri has also written and published What Remains of Vicarious Jurisdiction for Establishing General Jurisdiction over Corporate Defendants After DaimlerAG v. Bauman, 12 Seton Hall L. Rev. 1 (2015).

Keri is admitted to practice in all state and federal courts in Georgia and South Carolina, and she is admitted to practice in Florida. She is a member of the State Bar of Georgia, the Savannah Bar Association, the South Carolina Bar Association, and the Florida Bar Association.
