Brenda Popplewell is a true champion for the falsely accused. Brenda saved my sister from the death penalty. My sister was falsely accused of capital murder and robbery—crimes she did not commit. The jury found my sister Not Guilty of all charges. I have since learned how rare it is for a jury to come back with a Not Guilty verdict in a death penalty case. In Brenda’s opening statements to the jury, in her cross examination of the lead detective, and in her closing arguments to the jury—we felt the jury was with Brenda. Brenda helped the jury to see the evidence that proved my sister was innocent. Brenda believed in my sister’s innocence, and she saw the truth when no one else cared to even look for it. Economic background or social status mean nothing to Brenda, she is a true friend of all the people. She treats all of her clients with respect, and if she believes in someone’s innocence, she won’t stop until she proves it. Brenda was so prepared she was able to overcome every obstacle thrown in her way to prove the allegations against my sister were false. She researched and investigated everything, from DNA evidence, to witness statements— down to the tiniest of details. With her "never give up" attitude, and expertise, she uncovered the lies and truths, causes and effects, and brought truth and justice out in the courtroom. Brenda is not intimidated by opposing legal teams, but they are intimidated by her. Don't let her petite frame and sweet soft spoken voice mislead you—Brenda is a warrior in the courtroom. It is difficult to describe the impact she had on my sister and our family. She gave my sister her life back, and brought her home to her family. Brenda will always be our hero, and our family is deeply grateful and thankful for Brenda.

Brenda Popplewell is one of the best lawyers in Kentucky. Brenda represented my family in a Civil Rights case, when my son’s father passed away in a jail. We are so grateful to have found Brenda during this difficult time. She was our voice when we did not have one. Brenda spent countless hours investigating the case, reviewing the evidence, interviewing witnesses, working with Medical experts and experts in Jail Procedure and Police Procedure. Brenda left no stone unturned. She met with us often to review the case, and kept us informed on the progress of the case every step of the way. Brenda fought hard for my family. She became more than our lawyer, she became our friend. I would definitely recommend Brenda, she is an amazing attorney, and I am eternally grateful for Brenda helping my family in our time of need. “Though she be but little, she is FIERCE.”—Shakespeare
