Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKeith Scherer is a veteran military trial lawyer and founding partner of Gagne, Scherer & Associates, representing service members worldwide in courts-martial, administrative hearings, and appeals, including cases before the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces. With over two decades of lead-counsel experience, he focuses on serious UCMJ offenses—sexual assault, child endangerment, domestic violence, CSAM/ICAC, fraud, and complex court-martial defense—while also maintaining a federal criminal practice in the Northern District of Illinois and the Seventh Circuit. A former Air Force Russian linguist and Assistant Judge Advocate, he combines operational military insight with appellate and trial acumen and is admitted to the Federal Trial Bar. Peer-selected as a Leading Lawyer in Criminal and Military Law, he brings rare courtroom experience and strategic use of Article 32 hearings, which he argues are often underutilized in defense. He pairs rigorous legal advocacy with analytical instincts honed as a long-time baseball analyst and researcher, reflecting a discipline for data-driven argument and pattern recognition. Based in Chicago, he holds a J.D. from Chicago-Kent and a B.A. from UIC.
