Keiley completed a J.D. from the University of Hawaii William S. Richardson School of Law in 2011, magna cum laude, and undergraduate degrees from the University of the Pacific in 2006.

Keiley has experience involving property sales, commercial leases, condominium development, and real estate financing. Such assignments require careful attention to the details of the record and the legal framework governing the work. Depending on the circumstances, the attorney may need to evaluate documentation, prepare agreements or arguments, confer with other participants, or address procedural deadlines. Experience with these matters helps connect the immediate legal questions to the broader circumstances in which they arise.

Kekoa Keiley is also associated with his representation of real estate clients in complex projects and agreements. Keiley brings that experience to the analysis of legal issues and the preparation needed to address them. The practice places importance on understanding a client’s situation rather than treating similar-looking matters as identical. Careful assessment of facts, legal requirements, and options helps define a clear path through a transaction, claim, or dispute. This practical focus shapes the attorney’s continuing work.
