Tanner Kirksey

Tanner is an associate attorney at Keane Law LLC, where he focuses on personal injury, class actions, employment law, and other litigation matters on behalf of individuals and small businesses. Throughout his practice, Tanner has obtained a number of significant and successful results for his clients. His litigation experience spans from pre-suit investigations through trial, and he has represented clients’ interests in different matters throughout Missouri, Illinois, and a dozen other state and federal jurisdictions.

Tanner received his undergraduate degree in International Political Studies from Drury University, and his J.D. from Saint Louis University School of Law. After clerking at a high profile Plaintiffs firm in St. Louis, Tanner spent the first part of his practice on the defense side – learning the ins and outs of personal injury, product liability, insurance, auto accident, and trucking litigation matters. Now, he uses that experience to obtain the best possible outcome for clients at Keane Law. In 2021, Tanner’s success and work ethic was recognized in the legal community as he became the youngest recipient of the Missouri Lawyers Weekly Up & Coming Award. In 2024, Tanner’s success and work ethic was recognized again when he was selected as a Rising Star by Super Lawyers.
