Career Highlights

Steve’s entire legal career has been spent in the area of medical negligence and wrongful death. He has tried cases involving doctors, hospitals, nursing homes throughout Ohio, and devotes his entire professional life to achieving the best possible result for each and every client he represents.

Steve is frequently invited to lecture and educate other attorneys on the topic of medical malpractice and personal injury nationally and throughout Ohio. He has lectured on the topic of medical negligence to the Ohio Association of Hospital Risk Managers, the National Hospital Insurance Forum, Physician Insurers Association of America, Nationwide Children’s Hospital Grand Rounds, Kettering College of Nursing, the Dayton Bar Association, the Clark County Bar Association, the Warren County Bar Association, the Ohio Association of Justice, the Hamilton County Association of Trial Attorneys, the University of Dayton School of Law, the National Business Institute, various hospitals, as well as many medical malpractice insurance companies.

Mr. O’Keefe was selected by his peers to be a member of the prestigious Ohio Chapter of the American Board of Trial Advocates. There are less than one hundred attorneys statewide who have been selected into the Ohio Chapter of the American Board of Trial Advocates. He has been voted by his peers as a Ohio Super Lawyers in the area of Medical Malpractice and Personal injury every year since 2006. Less than five percent of attorneys in the state of Ohio are honored as Super Lawyers. An even smaller percentage of lawyers are awarded this honor in the very narrow category of Medical Malpractice and Personal Injury.
