A very wealthy divorcing couple had been locked in a contentious legal battle for more than a year and were headed for a public trial which would include conflicting testimony regarding unorthodox sexual practices as well as questionable accounting issues.  Although both their lawyers were adamant that mediation would be a waste of time and money, the Presiding Judge ordered them to try.  They selected Keegan and told him it couldn’t settle, but that they were ordered to appear.  After a lengthy all-day session, Keegan succeeded in resolving all financial issues between the two parties and protecting their privacy.

Keegan was called on to mediate the claims of several families who had lost loved ones in the crash of a Valujet airliner in Florida.  Each claim involved assessing percentages of responsibility for the crash among various defendants, and applying appropriate legal principles to determine the amounts payable to each family by the insurers.  All of the claims Keegan mediated were resolved successfully, to the satisfaction of the families and the insurers.

The distraught parents of a college student who was killed by a drunk driver sued the driver and his employer for the wrongful death of their daughter.  As part of the negotiated settlement mediated by Keegan, and the recovery obtained by the parents, the insurance companies agreed to fund a memorial scholarship in the name of the deceased student.

When common owners of a private airport disagreed among themselves, and filed lawsuits and counterclaims over certain routes of ingress and egress to the runways and their respective rights to use the airport, their attorneys asked Keegan Federal to attempt to mediate a resolution.  After only a one-day mediation session which included seven different parties, a mediated agreement was reached and the legal actions were all dismissed.
