Keisha O. Coleman

Her work on behalf of financial institutions spans: regulatory and enforcement investigations and litigation; internal investigations; securities class actions; and a wide array of civil litigation and arbitration matters, including those involving fraud, beneficiary disputes, trust and estate disputes, restrictive covenants disputes, various types of customer disputes, and all types of third-party litigation matters. Keisha also has extensive experience with federal and state interpleader actions. She regularly counsels financial institutions on when to file an interpleader action in the face of conflicting instructions and how to optimize fee-recovery, prevent affirmative claims, and obtain protective relief and has a high rate of success recovering fees.

Additionally, Keisha has deep, extensive experience handling high-asset and complex-products garnishment and levy matters. She has served as national garnishment and levies counsel to a large financial institution for 14 years and has overseen thousands of garnishment matters of varying levels of complexity. Keisha has also advised several financial institutions on out-of-state or “restriction state” garnishment issues and is regularly called on by financial institutions to assist with garnishment matters gone awry. To service financial institutions’ garnishment needs, Keisha has trained and works with a large team of associates and paralegals in offices across the country—enabling the firm to respond quickly and efficiently when clients need real-time guidance on urgent account-related decisions.
