The Frederick Law Firm is a family business.  We are committed to providing the kind of representation we would expect if we were hiring an attorney.  This approach has led us to the following guiding principles:. 1. Keep the client well informed about the progress of the case.. 2. Don't hide the attorneys behind a mountain of paralegals and other staff members.  Cases are never handed down to paralegals or inexperienced attorneys, Steve and Carl manage every case.  In addition, Clients always have access to their lawyers when they want it.. 3. Really get to know the client, and take the time to understand how the injury or loss has impacted different areas of our client's lives.. 4. Prepare every case, from day one, like it is going to trial.  Don't sell the case short by thinking it is going to settle.  The defendant insurance company or corporation must be convinced that we will take the case to triall before they will settle the case for a fair and reasonable amount in advance of trial.  And if the case doesn't settle, we are ready for trial and will present the best case possible to the jury.. These principles form the core of our work ethic and have resulted in tens of millions of dollars in fair and just settlements and verdicts for our clients.

Firm: Bixler W. Howland, P.S.C.

Since the age of 12 I knew that I wanted to practice personal injury law and help those who have been injured by others. Much of my practice is devoted to representing individuals who have been hurt or injured through no fault of their own by reckless drivers, negligent companies, substandard medical practices, and careless landowners.. I understand well what it is like to work in construction and other dangerous occupations, having been a construction worker myself during my college years. In the past four decades I have been privileged to represent many clients and their families injured as the result of companies putting profits ahead of worker safety.. The trust that client’s place in me and this firm is gratifying. I am proud to have been able to make a significant difference in the lives of many clients when help was most needed..

Firm: Landrum & Shouse, LLP

Kent Westberry is a Senior Partner at Landrum & Shouse LLP, with over 31 years of criminal and civil litigation experience in federal and state courts.  Kent has defended some of the largest and most highly publicized criminal prosecutions in Kentucky.  However, despite the nature of the cases handled by Kent and Landrum & Shouse, it is our belief that the most successful criminal and civil defenses should not be high profile. Attorneys are most effective in the investigative stage, before an indictment has been returned and in the headlines.  Kent also practices in the areas of commercial litigation, personal injury (defendant) and the representation of attorneys in Bar discipline proceedings.. Kent has been listed in the White Collar Crime, Commercial Litigation and Personal Injury Defense sections for publications such as Best Lawyers in America and Kentucky Super Lawyers Business Edition. He has, for many years, maintained an AV® Preeminent™ rating from Martindale-Hubbell.  He served as a federal prosecutor and as President of the Kentucky Bar Association in 2004-2005.. In 2005 and thereafter, Kent served as lead counsel for former Kentucky Governor Ernie Fletcher in the Merit System investigation which resulted in a dismissal of all charges brought against this former Governor. Kent has recently served as counsel to a former Governor from the Northeast with regard to a Federal Grand Jury Investigation involving a now defunct business college in Kentucky. This investigation was closed without criminal charges being brought. Over the past several years, Kent has represented clients in criminal investigations and trials on behalf of the coal industry. In particular, Kent has been involved in the Crandall Canyon Mine disaster where an investigation was conducted by the Mining Safety and Health Administration ("MSHA") and the United States Attorney's Office in Utah. In the past, Kent was involved in representing executives in the Pyro Mine disaster where no charges were brought against his client. More recently, Kent obtained an acquittal for a coal mining executive in United States v. B&D Mining in federal court in Abington, Virginia. Kent has also obtained a significant judgment of acquittal for felony counts, post verdict, in United States v. KenAmerican Resources, et al. for his client who was a mine superintendent. The court ultimately sentenced this client as well as others to probation after a month long jury trial.  Kent recently obtained an acquittal for an environmental compliance officer in Ohio v. United Wastewater.. Kent and his firm have handled virtually all types of White Collar matters. Kent has represented clients in matters involving  state and federal tax violations, mail and wire fraud, healthcare fraud false statements, RICO, government contract fraud, environmental crime, money laundering, securities and insurance fraud. Kent has represented state court judges, attorneys, physicians, and other professionals in criminal investigations. Kent frequently advises businesses, municipalities and individuals in responding to requests for documents and records from grand jury subpoenas. Early in his career, Kent obtained an acquittal for an accountant in a criminal tax prosecution, United States v. Schultz. Other recent examples of successful representation involve convincing the United States Attorney's Office not to seek an indictment involving a former healthcare executive in a highly publicized investigation in Louisville. Kent is currently representing businesses regarding alleged tobacco excise tax violations in investigations throughout the Southeastern United States.. More recently, Kent has been involved in defending elected and appointed officials in voter fraud cases brought in federal court. These prosecutions have involved substantial post trial briefing as a result of the recent Supreme Court decision in Skilling as well as alleged Brady/Giglio violations resulting from the government's failure to produce exculpatory and/or impeachment material in advance of trial.. Kent served with distinction as an Assistant United States Attorney for the Western District of Kentucky from 1981-1987. Kent has also served as a Special Justice of the Kentucky Supreme Court and as Chairman of the Civil Justice Reform Act for the United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky. He is a currently a member of the Board of Directors of the Federal Public Defenders Corporation. Kent is a Life Member of the U.S. Sixth Circuit Judicial Conference and a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates.

Firm: The Poppe Law Firm

Hans was raised in Savannah, Georgia. At age fifteen, he and his family moved to Kentucky to be closer to his mother’s family. Hans majored in finance and minored in philosophy while at the University of Louisville. He worked his way through college while working third-shift part time at United Parcel Service. Quickly promoted several times, by his senior year he had advanced to a full-time position as a financial analyst in United Parcel Service’s Air Group where he analyzed past aircraft fleet maintenance expenditures in order to make projections for the future.. While he certainly enjoyed putting his finance degree to work, Hans had already made plans to attend law school on scholarship. Law school was a natural fit for him and he made the Dean’s list all six semesters while at The Brandeis School of Law at the University of Louisville. During his second year, Hans was selected to be a member of the Brandeis Journal of Family Law. Also in his second year, Hans advanced to the semi-final round of the Pirtle-Washer Oral Advocacy Competition and tied for third with the woman whom he would later marry, Jeri Barclay. During his final year, Hans was selected to represent the law school at the prestigious Kauffman Securities Law Moot Court Competition in New York City. He and his teammate-and still good friend-Shane O’Bryan, made the best showing in the law school’s history by finishing third in the nation. Hans finished law school ranked in the top ten with a grade point average high enough to gain him membership into the nation’s oldest, largest, and most selective all-discipline honor society, The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi. Additionally, Hans was asked to join the most prestigious honor society at the Brandeis School of Law, the Brandeis Society.. Following graduation, Hans went to work for the small, well-respected plaintiff personal injury law firm where he had clerked during law school. Just two weeks after receiving his bar results, Hans, and the attorney with whom he worked, successfully tried a two-week medical malpractice case. He was hooked on trial work from that moment forward. Since then, he has been involved in a number of large jury verdicts and settlements, including serving as co-counsel on a $25,700,000 settlement arising out of childhood sexual abuse (this settlement consolidated 243 indivdual lawsuits alleging childhood sexual abuse against the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Louisville and was settled in 2003.  At the time, it was the second largest settlement against a diocese in US History.) To learn more about the case, you can read the Courier Journal Newspaper article here.. At only thirty-years of age, Hans made the decision to start his own firm. The dynamic success of The Poppe Law Firm comes as no surprise to anyone who knows Hans. He is passionate about the work he does and the people and small businesses he represents. Because of this, he chooses to limit his caseload to only twenty cases at any given time. This ensures he can give each of his clients the personal attention they need and deserve.
