About Kerith Strano
Kerith Strano Taylor earned her law degree from George Mason University School of Law in 1998 after completing undergraduate studies at Pennsylvania State University. She received a B.A. in political science from Penn State University Park in 1993, and spent time at Penn State DuBois in 1992. Her academic path combined a regional undergraduate experience with a law program that prepared her for practice on a broad set of issues.
Her early legal work included a clerkship in 2000 at Keller and Heckman LLP in Washington, D.C., where she gained exposure to federal practice and regulatory processes. The following year she returned to Pennsylvania and established her own practice. In 2001 she founded The Taylor Law Office, an enterprise that marked the start of her independent practice and a pivot toward serving clients in state courts.
Taylor has maintained an active role in Pennsylvania’s legal community. She holds membership in the Pennsylvania State Bar and has been involved in statewide initiatives related to children and juvenile justice for many years. From 2006 she served on the Pennsylvania Children’s Roundtable Initiative-Statewide Roundtable, a body that brings stakeholders together to discuss policy and practice affecting children. She also served on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court Juvenile Court Procedural Rules Committee from 2011 to 2012, participating in work to shape procedures in juvenile matters.
Those roles inform the kinds of matters she handles. Her record shows sustained engagement with juvenile and child-welfare issues. She has worked on cases and projects that intersect with family law, juvenile procedure, and child services systems, and she brings experience with both courtroom practice and collaborative policy efforts. Her background includes litigation experience from her early clerkship as well as the daily responsibilities of running a regional law office.
Today she practices in Pennsylvania through THE TAYLOR LAW FIRM. Her work reflects a mix of courtroom representation and policy-oriented participation in state committees and roundtables. Colleagues and contacts in the legal community see her as a practitioner who combines practical courtroom experience with years of involvement in juvenile and children’s issues. She currently handles matters in Pennsylvania courts and participates in ongoing discussions about juvenile procedure and child welfare policy.
