Keara is an attorney in the firm’s Trusts & Estates group, where she assists clients in planning for their future with clarity and confidence. Her practice spans estate planning, estate and gift tax strategies, healthcare directives, powers of attorney, prenuptial agreements, probate, trust administration, and the creation of revocable living trusts and wills.

A proud Longview Washington native, Keara graduated summa cum laude from Eastern Washington University with a degree in Political Science. She earned her J.D. from Gonzaga University School of Law, where she was recognized for academic excellence and served clients pro-bono through the Elder Law Clinic. Her early legal work focused on elder law, Medicaid planning, and veterans’ benefits, and she later expanded her practice to include complex estate and business planning at a firm in Olympia.

Keara holds an LL.M. in Taxation from Loyola Law School, which equips her with advanced training in the tax and non‑tax considerations that shape modern estate planning. This specialized background allows her to guide clients through the design of tax‑efficient estate plans, the establishment of trusts, lifetime gifting strategies, and the administration of estates with confidence and precision.

Keara joined GTH in 2024, bringing a thoughtful, client-centered approach to every matter she handles. Since moving back to the Westside, she enjoys being closer to family and exploring the Pacific Northwest with her partner and their dog. Outside the office, you’ll find her immersed in fiber arts, tech tinkering, podcasts, and lifelong learning.
