Keating Defense
Premier Criminal Defense Firm
Keating Defense is a premier criminal defense law firm proudly serving Philadelphia and the surrounding areas. Founded by seasoned attorney Annalise Keating, our firm is dedicated to aggressively defending the rights and freedom of individuals facing criminal charges. We understand that a criminal accusation can turn your life upside down in an instant—that's why we fight tirelessly to protect your future, one case at a time.
With the tagline "Defending Your Rights and Freedom, One Case at a Time", Keating Defense stands as your trusted ally when the stakes are highest. Our practice focuses on serious criminal matters, including:
- DUI Defense — Challenging illegal stops, faulty breathalyzer results, field sobriety test errors, and more to help you avoid license suspension, jail time, and lasting damage to your record.
- Drug Crimes — Aggressively attacking search warrants, informant credibility, lab results, and chain-of-custody issues to seek dismissals, diversions, or reduced charges.
- Gun Charges — Fighting for outright dismissals or reductions by exposing weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence and procedural violations.
- Domestic Violence — Working to dismiss protective orders (PFAs), highlight inconsistencies in allegations, and safeguard your reputation and relationships.
Former Prosecutor Advantage
Attorney Annalise Keating spent years on the other side of the courtroom, learning exactly how the Commonwealth builds and prosecutes cases. Now, she uses that insider knowledge to anticipate their strategies, dismantle their evidence, and secure the best possible outcomes for our clients. From simple misdemeanors to complex felonies, we have successfully obtained hundreds of dismissals, reductions, and not-guilty verdicts at trial.
We treat every case with the urgency and attention it deserves—no case is too big or too small. Unlike many firms, we provide direct 24/7 cell phone access to your attorney (no paralegals or call centers standing in the way). We also offer Spanish-speaking services, free consultations, flexible payment plans, and no upfront fees in many cases. Our goal isn't just to negotiate pleas—it's to win: getting charges dropped before arraignment, exposing flaws early, or prevailing at trial when necessary.

"Annalise Keating and her team saved my life. I was under federal investigation for alleged unauthorized computer access and identity theft after a bad online dispute escalated. The stress was unbearable—I thought my career and freedom were over. Annalise used her prosecutorial experience to challenge the search warrant and digital evidence right away. She was always available on her cell phone, explained everything clearly, and got the entire case dismissed before charges were even filed."MMichael R.Philadelphia
