David Keenan presides over both civil and criminal jury trials. He was elected to the Washington State Superior Court for King County in 2016 after working in the White Collar, Investigations, Securities Litigation & Compliance practice group at Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe. He also spent nearly 15 years in law enforcement, working full time as a federal agent while attending law school at night. He was raised by his mother on public assistance, was arrested and charged as a youth, and dropped out of school after repeated suspensions, later earning his GED. He now works with programs seeking to disrupt the school-to-prison pipeline.
