SUMMARY
As partner at Coughlin & Gerhart, LLP, Keith A. OÂ’Hara is committed to representing clients in Binghamton, New York. He focuses his practice on handling cases that involve the following matters: personal injury law, litigation, insurance defense law, insurance law and family law.
A personal injury lawsuit can lead to extraordinary financial costs for organizations, insurance providers and businesses. Starting his career as a clerk for a New York Supreme Court justice, Mr. OÂ’Hara developed his litigation skills and passion for helping others. Now an experienced trial lawyer, he has spent the last few decades guiding clients through complex legal matters. He understands the serious nature of personal injury litigation and takes his role as a client advocate seriously.
Using innovative techniques and a strict attention to detail, Mr. OÂ’Hara has a track record of obtaining favorable verdicts for clients. Among his achievements, Mr. OÂ’Hara has successfully upheld the dismissal of a judgment against a client, setting a precedent for the interpretation of New York laws. He has also appealed cases before multiple judicial departments and succeeded in defending a lawsuit an injured student filed against a local school district. According to the New York Law Journal, Mr. OÂ’Hara secured a Top Ten defense verdict.
Mr. OÂ’Hara was admitted to practice in the State of New York in 1991 and is admitted to practice before the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York.
In his spare time, Mr. OÂ’Hara serves as a coach for the Broome County Catholic Youth Organization.
