Keller Rohrback L.L.P.

Founded in 1919, Keller Rohrback has grown from a solo practitioner in Seattle to a 72-attorney law firm with offices in Seattle, Oakland, New York, Phoenix, Santa Barbara and Missoula, Montana. 

The firm’s name comes from Robert Keller and Pinckney Rohrback (president of the Seattle-King County Bar Association from 1968 to 1969), two lawyers who significantly contributed to the firm’s creation and success. Keller and Rohrback were down-to-earth Seattle natives and University of Washington graduates. They practiced law in the firm for a combined 80 years. Together with their long-time partners Erle Horswill (later, King County Superior Court Judge Horswill), Burton Waldo, and Fred Butterworth (president of the Seattle-King County Bar Association from 1988 to 1989), they established the solid professional reputation that still characterizes the organization today.

 In 1986, the firm was renamed Keller Rohrback L.L.P., and Managing Partner Lynn Sarko started the Complex Litigation Group, which enjoys a stellar national reputation and offers exceptional service and a comprehensive understanding of state and federal laws. Its lawyers are well-known for their ability to collaborate with co-counsel to achieve outstanding results – an essential skill in large-scale cases in which several firms represent the plaintiffs.
