A general practice serving Berea, Richmond, Lexington and the surrounding Kentucky courts — with an emphasis on debtor representation.
Bankruptcy
Debtor representation in chapter 7 and chapter 13 bankruptcy is an emphasis of the practice. If you are facing wage garnishment, repossession, foreclosure or relentless collection calls, a consultation will tell you whether bankruptcy is the right tool for your situation — and what it would actually discharge.
Injury
Auto wrecks, premises liability and other injury claims, handled personally from the first call through settlement. There is no money required up front; the fee is paid out of any recovery.
Consumer
Claims involving unfair, deceptive or abusive practices, including violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and discharge violations by collectors pursuing debts already wiped out in bankruptcy.
Collections
Defense against debt-buyer lawsuits in Madison County and the surrounding Kentucky courts. Collectors who bought your account for pennies frequently cannot produce the documents needed to prove the debt is theirs to collect.
Foreclosure
Representation for Kentucky homeowners served with a foreclosure complaint, including review of standing and loan documentation and the options available through chapter 13 to cure an arrearage over time.
Civil
Family and estate matters handled with discretion — dissolution, custody and timesharing, adoption, wills, and probate and estate administration — along with general civil litigation.
Criminal
Defense in district and circuit court on felony and misdemeanor charges, DUI and traffic offenses, and probation matters throughout Central and South Central Kentucky.
Appeals
Appellate work before the Kentucky Court of Appeals and the Kentucky Supreme Court, including review of the trial record and briefing of preserved issues.
