Keith has long been a victims' advocate and is highly regarded for his experience in aviation law and other wrongful death claims. He has provided substantial pro bono assistance to Mother's Against Drunk Driving (MADD) over the past 15 years and serves as MADD's representative on the Governor's Task Force for Crime Victims' Rights. Keith is also an advocate for Trial Lawyers Care, Inc., and is currently representing several families touched by the horrors of the September 11th terrorist attacks.

Keith is one of the founders of the Maryland DWI Law Institute. During his tenure, he edited the Maryland DWI Victims' Assistance Manual, which is regarded by local MADD chapters across the country as a model for their victims' programs.

He has represented victims in many celebrated civil cases in Maryland and other states, including multi-district complex litigation arising from aviation disasters. His work has helped expand Maryland's Wrongful Death Statute. Keith is regarded as a leading legal authority on victims' rights in Maryland and lectures frequently on the subject throughout the region.
