“Hugh Keefe was rightly revered for his unexcelled insight, skill and success as a trial lawyer— a bold champion of justice, and courageous advocate of deserving causes. With his big heart and wide smile, his infectious charm and wonderful good humor made him a worthy and welcome presence in the courtroom, whether as an adversary or teammate.
