Flora Stuart Lawyer Reviews & Ratings - Bowling Green

After completing her BA in Education at WKU and a stint as a teacher, single mother Flora Templeton Stuart attended Chase Law School by day and waited tables by night—ultimately blazing a trail as her community’s very first female attorney. In 1978, she and co-counsel Kelly Thompson secured a landmark acquittal for Marla Pitchford, garnering national media attention and advancing women’s rights in the courtroom. That same year she was named Public Advocate, where she went on to try over fifty jury cases with a remarkably high success rate. A longtime member of the Kentucky Supreme Court Civil Rules Task Force, she helped reshape the state’s civil procedure, and as a member of both the Kentucky and Tennessee Bar Associations has recovered millions for injured clients. Honored with the Warren County Bar Association’s Public Service Award and named Woman of the Year, Stuart also gives back through pro bono work with schools and charities—living proof of her lifelong passion for justice and community service.
