About Bryan P. Keenan

A Career Focused on Helping People Overcome Debt

Bryan P. Keenan has practiced bankruptcy law in the Pittsburgh area since the late 1990s. Over the course of his career, he has filed more than 2,000 bankruptcy cases for individuals, married couples, and small business owners across Western Pennsylvania. His practice is focused exclusively on consumer and small business bankruptcy, giving clients the benefit of concentrated knowledge that general practitioners simply cannot match.

Bryan founded Bryan P. Keenan & Associates, P.C. with a straightforward mission: to provide honest, affordable legal representation to people struggling with debt. He recognized early in his career that most people facing financial hardship are not irresponsible spenders. They are ordinary families hit by job loss, medical emergencies, divorce, or other circumstances beyond their control. That understanding shapes every client interaction at the firm.

Education and Professional Credentials

Bryan earned his Juris Doctor from Duquesne University School of Law in Pittsburgh. He is admitted to practice before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania and all Pennsylvania state courts.

His professional memberships include:

• Allegheny County Bar Association
• Pennsylvania Bar Association
• National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys (NACBA)
• American Bankruptcy Institute

Bryan regularly attends continuing legal education seminars focused on bankruptcy law updates, exemption planning, and changes to the federal bankruptcy code. He believes that staying current with evolving regulations is essential to achieving the best possible outcomes for his clients.

A Personal Approach to Bankruptcy Law

Many larger firms assign bankruptcy cases to junior associates or handle them as a side practice. At Bryan P. Keenan & Associates, Bryan personally handles every case from start to finish. When you call the office, you speak directly with Bryan or a member of his small, dedicated support team. When you appear in court, Bryan stands beside you.

This approach exists because Bryan believes that the attorney-client relationship depends on trust, and trust requires direct communication. Bankruptcy touches the most personal aspects of a person's life: their home, their income, their ability to provide for their family. Clients deserve to know that their attorney fully understands their circumstances and is personally invested in their outcome.

Bryan takes the time to explain the bankruptcy process in plain language, without legal jargon. He walks through the means test, exemptions, and timeline so that clients know exactly what to expect at each stage. If bankruptcy is not the right solution for a particular situation, he will say so and discuss alternatives such as debt negotiation, loan modification, or credit counseling.

Areas of Practice

While Bryan's practice centers on Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy, his experience extends to a range of related issues that commonly arise alongside debt problems:

• Chapter 7 Bankruptcy (liquidation bankruptcy for qualifying individuals)
• Chapter 13 Bankruptcy (debt reorganization with a structured repayment plan)
• Mortgage Foreclosure Defense (stopping foreclosure and curing arrears)
• Vehicle Repossession Prevention
• Medical Debt Elimination
• Tax Debt Resolution (for qualifying tax obligations)
• Small Business Bankruptcy
