About Bradley
Bradley Keffer grew up studying business and law before moving into public service. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Miami University in 2004 and a J.D. from Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law in 2007.
He entered the courtroom early in his career as a prosecutor. His first role was as a deputy prosecuting lawyer in Marion County in 2007. He later served in the Tippecanoe County Prosecutor’s Office in 2009 and returned to Marion County in 2011. Those years in county prosecutors’ offices gave him steady trial experience and a close view of criminal casework.
In 2012 he stepped into private practice as a founding partner of Keffer Barnhart LLP. That move shifted his daily work from government files to client-driven litigation. Over time his practice has included both civil and criminal matters, and he has performed investigations under Title IX and civil rights frameworks. He holds certification from ATIXA as a Title IX/Civil Rights Investigator.
Keffer’s professional life also includes bar and trial organization involvement. He is a fellow of the American Bar Foundation and the Indianapolis Bar Foundation. He maintains memberships in the Indiana State Bar Association, the Indianapolis Bar Association, the Hamilton County Bar Association, the National College of DUI Defense, and the American Trial Lawyers Association. He is admitted to practice in Indiana and before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.
Colleagues describe him as a lawyer who moves comfortably between court dockets and investigative work. His early prosecutorial background informs his approach in defense and civil cases, and his ATIXA credential adds a procedural and investigatory layer to campus and workplace matters. He has stood for clients in arraignments and hearings, and he has prepared investigative reports used in administrative processes.
Outside the courtroom he has continued to participate in local bar activity and professional education. Those roles have kept him connected to trial practice trends and the procedural developments that affect both criminal defense and civil litigation.
As of 2026 he practices in Indianapolis and divides his time among litigation, criminal defense work, and Title IX and civil rights investigations.
