Keese Hargraves LLP was founded in 2017 by Robert J. Keese and Charles N. Hargraves. A year later, in 2018, partner Janet Canon joined the firm. Our firm brings over 40 years of combined legal experience. Keese Hargraves LLP offers high-quality and sophisticated legal services to clients facing a variety of legal issues or disputes. Our extensive litigation experience coupled with our professional understanding of California law allows us to provide intelligent counsel and effective advocacy for our clientele.

Our attorneys have decades of experience resolving family law matters such as paternity, custody, child support, spousal support, and marital dissolution (divorce). We also prepare and review pre- and post-nuptial agreements and assist clients with domestic violence restraining orders.

For families and individuals interested in ensuring their wealth is preserved and passed on to future generations, our firm provides estate planning services individually tailored to ensure our clients intentions are carried out.

For businesses and employers, our firm provides counsel on contractual matters, employee relations, regulatory compliance, and litigation strategy. Our experience spans over 25 years advising companies both in and out of court.

We believe in preventive legal strategy: early consultation often avoids the cost of litigation. But when litigation is necessary, we act with precision, aggression, and full transparency with our clients throughout the process.
