Cross, Keith F.

Keith Cross has 30 years of courtroom experience, including 14 years as a public prosecutor prior to entering private practice.  He has devoted his practice to all aspects of employment law and over the past decade has expanded his concentration to include the False Claims Act, health care fraud, defense contractor fraud and pharmaceutical fraud.  He has also achieved success in the prosecution and trial of complex medical negligence cases, including hospital and physician negligence.  Along with Joe Bennett, Keith has chosen to concentrate his efforts and expertise on a limited number of cases, rather than spreading the firm's resources, so that each client's case receives the maximum in individual attention, effort and devotion. 

Keith is a member of the Colorado Bar Association, the National Employment Lawyers Association, Taxpayers Against Fraud, the American Association for Justice, the Colorado Trial Lawyers Association, the Colorado Plaintiff Employment Lawyers Association, the Faculty of Federal Advocates, and the El Paso County Bar Association.  He is licensed to practice in all courts of the state of Colorado, the federal district court for the district of Colorado, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals and the United States Supreme Court.  Keith has also handled, with associate counsel, cases in California, Massachusetts, Louisiana, Texas and other parts of the country.

Keith's interest and experience in prosecution of crime and vindication of the rights of victims has led naturally to his current concentration on the pursuit of cases under the False Claims Act, an area where the firm has achieved significant success. 

Although virtually all of his time is devoted to litigation, Keith also counsels employers and employees with respect to all aspects of the employment relationship and has spent considerable time negotiating severance agreements for employees and employers that have helped both sides avoid the time and expense involved in litigating disputes in the court system.
