Through training and experience, Keith Berlin is developing into a superior attorney in the areas of litigation and environmental
law. Not only has he managed complex e-discovery, he attended more than 100 hours of Continuing Legal Education within his
first three years of practice. He also devotes significant time to volunteer work. Keith currently serves as the chair of
the Indianapolis Bar Association’s Pro Bono Standing Committee. He also is a member of the Indianapolis Bar Foundation’s
Impact Fund Committee, which awards a grant to an organization that promotes access to justice for indigent persons.
In 2012, I’d like to
continue to develop into a top-notch litigator, expand my environmental law knowledge, provide more opportunities
than ever before for IndyBar membership to provide pro bono services, help the IndyBar membership provide pro
bono services to more individuals in need throughout Indianapolis than ever before, and spend as much time with my family
as possible.
The best advice I could give a recent law school graduate is
to always keep life in perspective. We are all very fortunate to be where we are today.
The three words that best describe me are
driven, humble and caring.
My long-term career goal is
to become a go-to attorney that enjoys both work and life.
If I weren’t an attorney, I’d be
a doctor or police officer. I have always enjoyed solving problems while helping others.
My escape from work is
playing with my 1-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son. Toddlers can teach you so much about what is truly
important in life.
My mentor has taught me
that work is not everything, work-life balance is very important and there are many different ways to give back, and
you should give back in a way that you enjoy.
In the movie about my life,
John Krasinski would play me.

vagueness cannot challenged, so let's write all laws vaguely and throw the constitution out the window.Even if the court is operating under a particular law, if they don't it they will change it to their liking. What a joke!!!
Two convictions becomes one conviction with exactly the same sentence, only it is not clear wheter or not that sentence will be 18 months, 120 months or 138 months. Actually if the guns were in a home, whether or not they were his, he is protected under the 2nd amendment. Jurors need to learn the law and the constitution before judging others. The cour5ts need to do this as well.
With all due respect, Rick, I think you probably would be making a mistake by going to law school. The job market for attorneys is so saturated, you may well find yourself unemployed and with a lot of debt. You mention law would be a good supplement to your skills. True. But employers unfortunately don't value that. You will find that a law degree may well pigeonhole you into an attorney slot and limit career options. If you have a good job now I would hold onto that. As an attorney, you may well end up making less with the aforementioned debt.
Jack, I was only responding to bill's comment of tying everybody in government together. I agree with you though, it takes one bad apple to ruin the bunch.. As in any profession. What's truly unfair is when somebody violates someone's trust and takes complete advantage of someone
John’s comment is unfair. The majority of attorneys can be trusted. Unfortunately, all it takes is one greedy, unscrupulous, immoral attorney to jade the public.
