A Birmingham native, Michael Keel began his legal career and practiced for nearly ten years at London & Yancey, one of Alabama’s oldest and most storied firms. His practice has traditionally focused on litigation of civil defense matters, primarily the representation of various insurance carriers in a wide variety of cases. In recent years, he has developed a niche in the fidelity and surety arena. Now with Lucado Law Firm, he continues to zealously represent these institutional clients in addition to taking on new projects, such as the representation of businesses in litigation disputes and the representation of individuals in probate, domestic, personal injury, and wrongful death matters.
