Forty Under 40: Sean Keith

Establishing a one-stop legal shop was the goal of Sean Keith and partner Drew Miller when they founded their Rogers law firm in 1995. By August, Keith Miller Butler & Webb will have grown to seven lawyers with a variety of areas of expertise.

Keith, who focuses on civil litigation, said he’s proud that the firm’s cadre of services includes everything from criminal to transactional law and more.

He is on the board of directors for Rogers Rotary, Court Appointed Special Advocates of Northwest Arkansas and the Arkansas Bar Association. Keith, 34, is also on the Rogers School Board steering committee.

He was born in Fayetteville and grew up in Rogers. Keith graduated from Westminster College in Fulton, Mo., and earned his law degree in 1993 from the University of Arkansas School of Law.

That year he became prosecutor for Logan County, where Keith said he had to try his first case during his first week on the job.

Within 18 months, Keith said, he’d done everything including a murder trial.

Keith, the son of Judge Tom Keith of Bentonville, joined forces with Benton County Chief Deputy Prosecutor Drew Miller in 1995.
