Top best E Lawyers in Lexington | 1375 available

I know that bankruptcy is usually a last resort.  I understand that no one really wants to file.  My job is to make the process as smooth and pleasant as possible for my clients. From the initial consultation to the discharge, I strive to take the complicated issues my clients bring to the table, sort them into managable levels,  and move them forward with a fresh start.. On a personal note, I am married to Matthew Bunch and we have two very active teens. I enjoy reading, cooking and most outdoor activities such as hiking and whitewater rafting.

I have seen many debtor/creditor dispute situations over my 30-plus year career. It has been my passion to work with my client contacts,  and I have learned about many different industries as part of that process.  It is important to talk face to face with clients, to dig down to the fundamentals, and to work together to create a persuasive message to advocate for their interests.  There are often many other parties involved to work with, as well as being persuasive in court when required.  Over time, I have come to view this process as both an art and a science, and as a way to formulate the story that  presents the best chance to meet my clients’ goals.  “Everything we do falls on a spectrum of options, pros and cons, how it fits in to the big picture, negotiation, and risk analysis. I mostly see lots of gray and multiple choices of how to proceed, usually not a simple black and white answer. It is very important to me to make sure the clients get the benefit of what I see so they can make the best choices for themselves.”. I started at a larger firm where I was an associate and later partner, for 17 years.   I began as a young lawyer doing bank work, but my heart grew to be more passionate about working on  the debtor side of the table, trying to save businesses, or wind them down in the best way possible.    “The early years of my practice are invaluable to me, because I got to both write and argue so many motions in different courts across the Commonwealth, and learned to think about what the banks are looking for in a situation. I learned a lot of law in the process. As a debtor or committee lawyer, being able to understand and work with the other parties is an absolute necessity.”  I  believe in always trying to resolve issues consensually, while simultaneously preparing to go argue the matter in court if necessary. After 17 years, in 2003, I left to start my own firm, and it has been a true learning experience. As a small business owner myself, I have gained an unbelievable amount of insight that big-firm lawyers just don't have.. Outside of the office, I enjoy working in the yard, traveling, reading, and spending quality R&R time with my husband and grown children. I'm currently working on some writing in the hopes of soon going on the road to teach and help others with all that I have learned the hard way.  I'm  passionate about helping our retirees and our young families figure out how to strengthen their personal finances in our current tough economic times, as well as all the looming governmental debt burdens which I foresee as a ticking bomb.   Unfortunately,  I have seen first hand how ugly bad debt situations can be.

I have dedicated my career to helping the legal needs of the disadvantaged. I am academically and professionally involved in the Bar. I focus on New Deal legislation and subscribe to President Franklin D. Roosevelt's declaration that "Necessitous men are not free men." Many American employees are unable to provide for their families due to corporations terminating them without just cause. Similarly, many workers who are deprived of living wages are unable to be free. So, I represent hard working people that have fell victim to corporate greed.

I have been practicing law in Lexington for more than 30 years.  I offer free telephone consultations to discuss potential representation.

I have been an attorney since 1998.  I understand when people are coming to see me for Family Law or criminal matters, they are going through one on the worst times of their lives.  I believe my job is to help take away the fear of the unknown and provide as much information as possible.. There is so much that goes into the effective representation of a person.  Every case is different, and every one has its own unique set of facts and moving parts.  I will represent you and your situation zealously.  I do not believe in a cookie-cutter system of representation.  I understand and respect that your case is the most important thing in the world to you.. There is not a criminal case I have not handled--from traffic tickets to murder and everything in between.  Likewise, my Family Law practice has seen me handle countless cases of various types and complexities.  Divorce, Separation, Child Custody, Timesharing, Maintenance, Child Support, Domestic Violence--you name it (married and unmarried couples).. My belief is that I will use my experience to inform you of not only the law, but also the process and how/why the system works the way it does.  I will tailor my service to fit your needs.  Armed with this information, you will not feel intimidated walking into a courtroom.. Being in court is the most enjoyable part of the job for me, so if we have to litigate, that is what we will do.  Likewise, if reaching an amicable settlement is in your best interests, we will explore that avenue.  I will always be focused on your best interests and shoot you straight.

I graduated Georgetown Universitry Law Center in May, 1989.  After completing a one-year clerkship with the Hon. James F. Queenan, Jr., United States Bankrutpcy Judge for the District of Massachusetts, I joined the Boston office of the international firm of Hale and Dorr n/k/a WilmerHale.  I spent six years with that firm, practicing bankruptcy law and litigation and received excellent training by some of the best attorneys I have ever met.  I have litigated at least 750 cases in 28 years of private practice and been involved in scores of appeals.  I am passionate about the practice of law, always striving to achieve excellent results for all my clients.  I have been married for 22 years and have two children, a son who is 17 and a daughter who is 15.  We have lived in Central Kentucky since October, 2005.

I didn't come up with a silver spoon and always considered it my duty to help others rather than just cash in.  I've been blessed that I found my calling so early and was given opportunities from mentors to start handling serious matters early in my career.  This has led to my experience in death penalty cases, serious sexual offenses, robbery, burglary, trafficking, assault, and financial crimes.  I teach defense methods annually to other attorneys including sessions on litigating mental health, constitutional death penalty claims, and jury selection.  Being an aggressive advocate is a joy to me and I appreciate the opportunity to stand between the government and my clients.. I have been married for eleven years and my wife is a photographer.  I have one daughter.  In the limited free time I enjoy I like working on cars, racing, and offroading.

From an early age, my parents taught me the value of commitment to hard work, and the discipline necessary to become an asset to my community.  I took these values seriously, and from an early age developed an interest in the law.. I have been a practicing attorney since graduating from Suffolk University Law School in 2002, but my involvement in the practice of law goes back to 1995 when I interned in the Legal Services Office at the University of New Hampshire.  I have been involved in the practice of law, from intern to paralegal to law student to attorney, ever since.. Since graduating law school, I have represented plaintiffs as well as defendants in a wide range of civil litigation matters, including personal injury, business litigation, employment litigation, unfair compeitition disputes, sexual harassment, discrimination, landlord-tenant matters, will disputes, and trademark infringement disputes..

Estate planning is one of the nicest things you can do for your family. It tells your family and the court system how you want your assets distributed upon your death. Be mindful that if you do not have an estate plan, even a simple will, your assets will be dispersed and the legal affairs of your estate will be resolved solely based upon Kentucky law. A well thought-out plan will not only attend to your legal needs, but will also address your personal concerns and goals.. Estate planning isn’t only for people with established families, a defined amount of wealth, or certain type of assets. Anyone with young children can have as much or more at stake if their estate plan does not provide for the care or protection of their children. For the single person or couple with complex tax planning needs, the urgency of formulating an effective estate plan may seem much more evident.. My practice is concentrated in the areas of estate planning, business succession planning and asset protection. In developing an estate plan, I listen to you. Your goals and objectives, whether it be equalizing assets among children, transferring a business, or minimizing taxes, are my primary concern. My intent is to gain a full understanding of your particular requirements and desires. Appreciating the family dynamic is imperative to successful planning.. When planning an estate, I include considerations of lifetime gifting (and the Federal gift tax), incapacity, special needs planning, and  protection of assets during my clients’ lifetime, as well as end of life decisions involving living wills and other advance directives, so that the value of their assets and the wealth they have accumulated in their estate will be available for their benefit and the benefit of their family and loved ones.. What I enjoy most about estate planning and my area of practice is the client interaction. I am dedicated to each client I represent. By providing a comprehensive approach to the client's planning situation, I strive to ensure a mutual understanding, to maintain direct contact, and to obtain the results desired by my client.. REPRESENTATIVE MATTERS. BEFORE MCBRAYER. I began my career with the IRS as an estate and gift tax attorney. This position allowed me the opportunity to work with many accomplished practicing attorneys and gave me invaluable insight to the IRS examination process. I know how to work with the IRS and answer questions before they arise.
