Nineteen years ago, W. Keith Williams II, then a 30-year-old attorney, moved back to Delaware County to open a law firm for the people of Yeadon and the surrounding communities.
Today, Williams is a Magisterial District Judge, and on Oct. 31, he swore in W. Keith Williams III, his son, as a new attorney, writes Alex Rose for the Daily Times.
The ceremony took place in Williams’ Lansdowne courtroom.
“One of the things I really admire about my son is his ability and his tenacity to finish a complete task, and what I also noticed within the last couple of years is his dedication to the practice of law has been remarkable,” the senior Williams said.
Williams III passed the bar exam on his first try and scored in the 85th percentile, which allows him to practice in more than 40 U.S. jurisdictions.
He’s a 2021 graduate of Temple’s Fox Business School, earning a bachelor’s degree in business administration. He also attended Chestnut Hill College after graduating from St. Joseph’s Prep. While at St. Joe’s, he played basketball for two years.
Williams III earned his Juris Doctorate this year from the Commonwealth Law School of Widener in Harrisburg.
