Keith Short and Associates, P.C. was established in early
2011 by attorney Keith Short, a seasoned legal practitioner since 1992. The
firm specializes in assisting individuals with workers' compensation, personal
injury, and Social Security cases, boasting a strong track record of success.
Our unique advantage lies in Mr. Short's background as a
former defense attorney, specifically handling workers' compensation and
personal injury cases. This perspective equips us with a profound understanding
of our opponents' strategies. We've built a reputation for being an honest and
diligent law firm. When we provide a financial estimate, it's backed by
thorough research and accuracy. This reputation often leads opponents to prefer
negotiation over confrontation. Nevertheless, we are always prepared to
vigorously advocate for our clients when necessary.
Furthermore, our deep roots in Southern Illinois give us a
distinct advantage. Attorney Keith Short, born and raised in the region, possesses
insights that attorneys from other areas may lack. We understand the nuances of
injuries common to local workplaces, the impact of road conditions on accident
cases, and the intricacies of the legal landscape, including the courts and
hospitals. Our familiarity with the local community extends to knowing the
demographics of juries when trial becomes inevitable, enabling us to tailor our
case presentations effectively. Mr. Short's community involvement, including
his role as an alderman in Edwardsville, IL, and his accolades such as the
Friend of Labor Award, highlight his commitment to the community.
