Sometimes, the best way to prove a case is to show what happened. Mike Owsley uses re-enactments in his work defending businesses and school boards from lawsuits to help judges and juries understand the circumstances of a claim, most often in defense work.. In one case, the family of a deceased boater sued a boat manufacturer. The boater struck an underwater object, flipping the boat over and killing him. Representing the boat manufacturer, Mike reviewed the circumstances of the accident, and believed the boater was much more to blame – given the fact that he was boating at 3 a.m. in an unlit area. So Mike hired a boater to re-enact the route of the boat and hired a video crew to film it. He showed it to the judge presiding over the case, who saw exactly what he did – pitch black. The court ruled in favor of the boating manufacturer.. In another case, a superintendent fired a teacher after her students reported to the school principal that she was drunk. The school principal summoned state police, who tested the teacher’s blood alcohol level. It was more than twice the legal limit for intoxication. The teacher protested her firing, saying she had taken a homeopathic remedy that had caused her blood alcohol level to spike. Mike asked his legal assistant, who was about the same weight and height as the fired teacher, if she would take the homeopathic drug and then a blood alcohol test in court. She agreed – and her blood alcohol level was 0.0. The tribunal upheld the teacher’s firing.. “Demonstrations are often the best way there is to defend a client against a baseless case,” Mike says. “It is often worth the time and trouble to re-enact an event as a way to prove the point. It’s the next best thing to having a videotape of the event in question.”. Mike has largely become one of the foremost authorities on school district law and policy in Kentucky through his extensive work with school boards. ELPO represents more than 20 districts in Kentucky. For many years, Mike and Regina Jackson, another attorney with ELPO, conducted training for the Office of Leadership and School Improvement of the Kentucky Department of Education. Every new superintendent in the state is required to have this training as part of their requirement to hold their office.. School districts need specialized legal counsel, Mike says, because representing a school district calls for balancing traditional employment law with Kentucky laws that apply to teachers and school administrators exclusively. Mike’s challenge is to stay on top of all of those laws, including employment, schools and First Amendment issues that pertain to both the students and staff within a school district.. Mike’s work helps school boards meet their duties to educate students and prepare the workforce of the future. “The administrators we work with are trying to do the right thing under difficult circumstances,” Mike says. “But this isn’t easy. The laws that govern school boards are detailed and ever-changing, as is the case law in this area. We’re able to help school districts make sound decisions and avoid costly lawsuits by working with them and helping ensure their decisions are grounded in the law.”. Mike has enjoyed watching Bowling Green change and grow around him. He’s raised his family in the city, and has long been involved in many civic causes in the area and also in his profession. He’s served as the Past President of the Bowling Green Chamber of Commerce and a Former Director of the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce. He’s been chair of the Leadership Kentucky Foundation and Director of the Kentucky Council on Economic Education. Mike currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Commonwealth Fund for KET, Inc.. “As a firm, ELPO has always been actively involved in helping the community meet its industrial objectives,” Mike says. “Bowling Green grew and prospered and became the community it is today largely because of the important work of the Chamber and those who have led it over the years.”

Sarah Jarboe primarily practices environmental law and civil litigation. She grew up in rural Kentucky near Owensboro, and the outdoors formed the fabric of her childhood. Sarah’s enthusiasm for nature is reflected in her legal practice. For her undergraduate education, Sarah attended the University of Louisville where she double majored in psychology and philosophy and minored in history. The analytical reasoning that intertwined Sarah’s college courses led to her general interest in the legal field.. During Sarah’s challenging studies at Vanderbilt Law School, it became clear that finding an area of law that was meaningful to her was vital to academic, professional, and personal success. Environmental law was a perfect match for Sarah – it is a natural outgrowth of her upbringing in the countryside. Uniting her interest in nature with her legal practice gives Sarah the advantage enjoyed by those who truly love their work.. Sarah joined ELPO in 2013 after working as a law clerk for two years for Chief Justice John D. Minton of the Kentucky Supreme Court in his Bowling Green office.. As part of her practice with ELPO, Sarah has represented clients in permitting and policy issues and enforcement actions. She has advised clients on various environmental matters, including the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, the Underground Injection Control Program under the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (Superfund), Oil Pollution Act, and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, and the Nonindigenous Aquatic Nuisance Prevention and Control Act. Sarah is an experienced negotiator, having participated in negotiations in enforcement and permitting cases with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Kentucky Department for Environmental Protection.'. In addition to her work at ELPO, Sarah served as Chair of the Environment, Energy and Resources law section of the Kentucky Bar Association from 2016 to 2017, and previously served as Chair Elect and Vice Chair of that section. She also sat on the American Bar Association's Section of Environment, Energy, and Resources’ (SEER) 2016 and 2017 Fall Conference Planning Committees. Sarah was one of 12 participants selected nationwide for SEER’s Leadership Development Program from 2014 to 2015. In addition, she devoted five years to the position of Newsletter Vice Chair for SEER's Smart Growth and Green Building Committee.. Sarah is a frequent speaker at environmental conferences, presenting on topics such as environmental liability related to waste issues, federal and state environmental audit policies, green infrastructure and consent decrees for water and wastewater utilities, the value of water to the U.S. economy, cooperative federalism, brownfields, and environmental common law actions and remedies.. Sarah and her husband have a young son and a dog (Vizsla). They enjoy visits to Kereiakes Park.

Regina Jackson believes law to be the merger of several of her passions. She likes solving puzzles, seeking answers to problems and analyzing results. “I like the logic of it,” Regina says. “I like analysis. You start with a question, and you have to find the best solution. It’s like putting together a puzzle.”. Regina worked for Wyatt Tarrant & Combs in Lexington, primarily practicing employment law, before joining ELPO in 1993. “There was opportunity here,” Regina says. “I was coming from a large firm, and I wanted something similar on a smaller scale. I got the professionalism of the attorneys here and the challenge of the work. I would put ELPO lawyers against any of the lawyers from the large firms.”. Since coming to ELPO, she’s used her extensive knowledge of employment law every day in working with clients. Regina is considered extremely knowledgeable regarding the Family Medical Leave Act. This law requires employers of a certain size to allow employees to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave to care for a sick family member or their own serious health condition, recover from childbirth, or other similar reasons. The law was changed recently to accommodate the needs of active military personnel. “Certainly, any employer wants to try to accommodate employees who have serious health conditions,” Regina says. “But there seems to be a handful of people who abuse the good intentions of the FMLA, and do so often enough that the business is really hampered because the employee is missing a lot of work time. I can advise them as to the best methods to handle the situation that are fair and legal for all involved.”. She also applies her employment law knowledge in working with school districts, and that experience stretches all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. In 1998, she filed an Amicus Brief on behalf of the Kentucky School Boards Association in the case of Gebser v. Lago Vista Independent School District (in Texas). In that case, a parent sued the school district after their child was sexually involved with a teacher, arguing that the district was responsible for the teacher’s behavior. The brief that Regina filed argued that a school district was only responsible if those with the power to change the situation knew about it and did nothing. The Supreme Court sided with the districts, agreeing with Regina’s position. The Kentucky School Boards Association hired ELPO to write the Amicus Brief to help protect the interests of school districts in Kentucky. “If the case had gone the other way, it would have allowed school districts to be held responsible for the actions of individual teachers in all types of situations, when, in almost all cases, the district’s administrators do not know that anything improper is taking place,” Regina said. “The responsibility lies with the individual teachers to behave properly with students, as administrators can’t be present in every classroom ensuring proper behavior.”. Bowling Green has become home to Regina. It’s a “big city on a small scale,” she says. She is married and has a daughter, Leah, who was adopted from China. “Having Leah adds a whole new level of interest for me in working with school systems,” Regina says. “I’m even more interested now in how the system operates and with helping students succeed.”

I represent injured people, throughout Kentucky, who have suffered physical injuries when other people or companies made a decision to violate common sense safety rules.. I look at what I do as a calling. My mom taught me that if you do someone wrong, you do what is right to fix it. When people or companies don't do what is right to fix their errors, the civil justice system allows them to be held accountable.. People and companies shouldn't cut corners. When they so, they should make it right. But they often won't, so I help people make claims to make things right.. If you want to know more, look us up at or give us a call at..

I am an attorney practicing primarily in the area of personal injury. My experience includes handling claims involving motor vehicle accidents, trucking accidents, slip and fall accidents, dog bites, nursing home neglect and abuse, products liability and more. I have lived in Bowling Green since August 2012. I am a recent graduate of Leadership Bowling Green and serve on the board of the Bowling Green-Warren County Bar Association. I was recently elected Second District Representative for the Young Lawyers Division of the Kentucky Bar Association. Outside of work, I competitively ride American Saddlebred horses with Zubrod Stables in Louisville and Cardinal Farms in Bonnieville, Kentucky.

I am an attorney and parnter at ELPO who works primarily on products liability and personal injury cases, with most of my practice focusing on defective medical products and pharmaceuticals.. I am handling lawsuits against the makers of IVC (inferior vena cava) filters, which are used to prevent blood clots from traveling through the body and causing a pulmonary embolism. The IVC filters are sometimes left in the body for too long, and can puncture veins and cause other severe problems. I am also representing patients who have been injured by Bair Hugger Forced Air Warming Blankets. The blankets are used during surgery to keep patients warm, but can promote deep joint infections after orthopedic surgery.  These infections can sometimes lead to painful revision surgeries or amputations.. Beyond medical devices, I am handling cases involving Actos, a diabetes drug that has been linked to bladder cancer, and Lipitor, a drug taken to lower cholesterol that has been shown to cause diabetes in post-menopausal women. I am also representing patients who have suffered severe bleeding events while taking the Xarelto, a popular drug used to treat atrial fibrillation and deep vein thrombosis. I also represent patients injured by the Fluroquinolone antibiotics Levaquin and Avelox, which can cause peripheral neuropathy, and I am fighting for the rights of children born with birth defects because their mothers took Zofran during their first trimester of pregnancy.. I have an undergraduate degree in accounting from Western Kentucky University and a law degree from the University of Kentucky. I am a member of the American Association for Justice, the Kentucky Justice Association, the American, Kentucky and Bowling Green-Warren County bar associations. I recently graduated from the Leadership Bowling Green program, am serving on the Western Kentucky University Young Alumni Council and the Board of Directors of the American Red Cross of South Central Kentucky and the Bowling Green-Warren County Bar Association. I am a native of Franklin, Kentucky.

Cravens works primarily in the areas of employment law, school law and workers’ compensation law. While the three areas overlap, they are just different enough to challenge him. Cravens stays on top of the law in each area, and researches the latest changes of the law and how it affects his clients. “You constantly have to study the law because it is always evolving,” Cravens said. “That is why it is referred to as practicing law.”. Workers’ compensation law changes more frequently than the other types of law Cravens practices. Workers’ compensation proceedings are controlled by statutes and regulations established by the state legislature and are affected by state courts’ interpretation of the statutes and regulations. As a result, the law changes often. “The changes are far more frequent than any other type of law I practice,” Cravens said. “The statutes and regulations are very detailed. There are specific factors and formulas that you have to know how to apply to the facts of each case. A minor adjustment in the statutes and regulations can drastically affect your clients’ interests and can spawn a great deal of case law.”. The law in the employment area changes more with federal legislation and litigation. Cravens has followed employment law as it changed and transformed since he began practicing in 1992. The Americans with Disabilities Act has been particularly interesting to watch, as the definition of who qualifies as an individual with a disability under the Act has changed drastically throughout Cravens’ practice. Employment cases can be brought in state or federal court, venues in which Cravens enjoys working.. “I like the fact that my work involves advising clients in addition to representing clients in litigation,” Cravens said. “We do a lot of counseling with our clients in the employment and school areas to keep them out of litigation. Workers’ compensation is primarily litigation, so I am comfortable in a private meeting giving advice or in a courtroom representing my client.”

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.

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.
