AN ADVOCATE FOR THE ELDERLY LET ME REPRESENT YOU

PAMELA D. KELLER

Attorney Pamela Keller Writing on Notepad at her desk

I focus my practice in civil litigation in Florida and have over 30 years of experience trying civil cases in Florida and New York. Keller Law Office, P.A. represents clients involved in complex and contested commercial, real estate and business litigation, as well as guardianship, trust, and probate litigation.

An advocate for the elderly, I have helped bring about Florida legislation and program funding that aids in protecting families dealing with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of Dementia. As former Chair of the Florida Council for Public Policy representing Florida’s chapters of the Alzheimer’s Association, and as chair of the Legislative Committee for Florida State Guardianship Association, I have lobbied on the state and federal levels on behalf of those affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other cognitive impairments.

As a member of the Board of the Arts & Humanities Council of Charlotte County, I chaired the Council’s Advocacy Committee and founded the Art Therapy Training Program entitled Expressions from Beautiful Minds. I was also named OCEAN’s 2013, Sunflower Award Recipient. This award is presented annually to recognize a person in our community who has made a significant contribution as an advocate for the elderly in Charlotte County. My service to the community continues as a Member of the Boards of the Area Agency on Aging (which provides social services to those in need in southwest Florida) and the Florida State Guardianship Association (the lead organization representing guardians and others involved in protecting our most vulnerable population).
