About Dan W
Dan W Kehr practices law in California and before the Federal Circuit. He has built a practice anchored in business matters and steady professional memberships. His career moves show a mix of firm leadership and private practice.
He earned a Juris Doctor from California Western School of Law and a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from UCLA. Those academic steps preceded his entry into private practice and professional organizations that have shaped the next phase of his career.
Kehr began his own firm early. In 2004 he served as CEO and founding lawyer of Kehr Law, APC. The firm offered him a platform to handle company-level legal work and to advise business owners. In 2016 he joined Best Best & Krieger LLP as a partner. That role placed him inside a larger firm structure and exposed him to a broader set of corporate and public law matters. In 2018 he returned to helm his own shop as the managing lawyer of Kehr Business Law, PC.
He is admitted to practice in California and maintains the ability to appear before the Federal Circuit. His memberships include the Federal Bar, which he joined in 2012, and WealthCounsel, a membership he has held since 2011. He is also a member of the California Bar Association since 2004. Those affiliations reflect both courtroom access and continuing legal education tied to business and estate-related practice.
Colleagues describe Kehr as practical and methodical in his approach to client work. He focuses on the legal needs that arise as businesses form, operate and change hands. His background spans founding and running a small firm, practicing inside a larger regional firm as a partner, and returning to a leadership role in a boutique business law practice. That mix informs how he counsels clients on governance, transactions and risk management.
Kehr divides his time between managing the practice and handling client matters. He retains responsibility for client strategy and for developing the firm’s response to complex business questions. His current practice concentrates on business law and related legal matters.
