Michael Keel

A Birmingham native, Mr. 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. As Michael transitions into his new practice at the Lucado Law Firm, he will continue 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. You can contact Michael at 205-278-0025.
