Keith Douglas Vance is a plaintiff’s trial lawyer
representing people injured in automobile, semi‑truck and motorcycle collisions,
as well as victims of defective products, intentional acts, and medical negligence.
A native of Colorado’s San Luis Valley, he was raised
on a cattle ranch near Manassa. He earned his undergraduate degree from Adams
State College in 1994—putting himself through school by
driving semi trucks—and received his J.D. with honors
from the University of Nebraska in 1997, where he clerked for the Honorable
Donald Endacott. Vance began his career defending insurers and negligent
drivers at Wittman & McCord but in 2000 switched to representing injured
plaintiffs exclusively. He is licensed in Colorado and Nebraska, is a member of
the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association, the Association of Trial Lawyers of
America, the Colorado Bar Association, and the San Luis Valley Bar Association,
and attended Gerry Spence’s Trial Lawyers College in 2005. He has tried
numerous jury and bench trials to verdict, recovering several million dollars
for clients. He is married, has four children, and enjoys hunting, fishing, and
community involvement.
