Julia M. Keenan

Julia M. Keenan is an associate at Bergen Parkinson who provides estate planning and administration services. She has been licensed to practice law in Maine since 2020 and joined the firm in April 2021. Her practice focuses on helping clients address estate-related planning and administration needs with careful legal analysis and organized guidance. Her background includes exposure to government, financial services, and in-house legal work before entering private practice.

Julia earned a J.D. from the University of Maine School of Law in 2020, an M.A. magna cum laude from Seton Hall University in 2017, and a B.S. magna cum laude from Seton Hall University in 2016. Her education combined legal training with graduate study at Seton Hall University School of Diplomacy. That academic background supports her work evaluating estate-planning needs, legal documents, administrative responsibilities, and client goals in a structured and practical manner.

Julia completed an internship with the New Hampshire Department of Justice, where she worked in the criminal division. She also interned at Foreside Financial, LLC, and externed at WEX, Inc., gaining experience with in-house legal teams. These roles gave her exposure to different legal environments before she focused her practice on estate planning and administration. Her work now centers on applying that broad foundation to planning and administration matters for Maine clients.

Julia M. Keenan is a member of the Immigrant Legal Advocacy Project’s pro bono panel of attorneys and volunteers to represent individuals seeking asylum in the United States. She is also a member of the Maine State Bar Association and York County Bar Association. Her estate practice combines detailed preparation with a service-oriented approach, while her pro bono work reflects experience assisting individuals with important legal matters outside her primary practice area.
