Top best L Lawyers in Lexington | 1276 available

I want to represent honest, hard-working individuals and families who have been damaged by the negligent or intentional wrongdoing of others.  My experience has mainly been in personal injury and accident cases, employment law including discrimination, whistleblower and wages and overtime cases, insurance claims and cases and Kentucky workers compensation cases.  Although Kentucky does not recognize any areas of legal specialty, I know these areas the best, they often overlap and interrrelate in a particular case and it is an advantage to have a lawyer who can cover all these bases.  I invite you to contact to visit my website and contact my office.. I am also required by Kentucky law to tell you that THIS IS AN ADVERTISEMENT.

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 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 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..

By working with experts from the Kentucky State Police and local Fire Marshall’s Office, in conjunction with retained experts who testified about cause and origin as well as the most likely product defect, the case was settled for $3.89 million dollars. The same preparation and hard work that was responsible for the result in the Howard Berger case is the same work that goes into other cases involving medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, and catastrophic injuries.. Dale has handled numerous cases involving catastrophic injury as well as death. These complex cases have provided him knowledge and experience in hiring and working with the best experts in each respective   field. Dale represented one of the largest trucking companies in the nation for over ten years.
